What's up, TVDers — I'm Jager Weatherby from Wetpaint Entertainment. Today I'm back and feelin' a little playful, so let's play a game, shall we? We know you love your Vampire Diaries stars — especially that steamy Stefan Salvatore — but how well do you really know the actor behind the character? Think you've got all the 411? Let's test your Wesley wisdom!

Paul Wesley — aka the on-screen Stefan Salvatore — is quite a complex creature, even in real life. He has a rather interesting slew of hobbies that hardly involve sucking people's blood. But that's not to say he doesn't like to get rough! He's a huge fan of ice hockey and snowboarding. Guess he does have something in common with his cold-blooded alter ego.

Perhaps Paul's love for the great cold outdoors stems from his roots. What are they, you ask? Well, he's Polish. Not only that, but growing up, Paul used to spend up to four months a year in Poland visiting family, so he's fluent in the language. That makes one hot bilingual bloodsucker!

But speaking of his roots, let's talk Paul's family tree. The actor —who was actually born Paul Thomas Wasilewski, but started going by Wesley in 2005 — has three siblings and they're all sisters! No wonder Paul knows how to treat a lady.

In fact, Paul's been wooing the ladies since a tender age. He once admitted he had his first kiss at the age of 9 when a girl dared him to lay one on her — in a swimming pool, no less! Once a charmer, always a charmer!

Speaking of the ladies in Paul's life, he reportedly married his longtime love, Pretty Little Liars star Torrey DeVitto, earlier this year. Common knowledge, right? But did you know he also dated actress Marnette Patterson, of Charmed? Just one more girl to be jealous of!

Now, let's talk some stuff you really might not know, like Paul's childhood. He's admitted several times he was quite the rebel growing up. He said: "I wasn't some weird loner in school, but I definitely wasn't invited to any of the cool parties. Girls didn't like me that much — I didn't even go to my prom." We find that hard to believe.

Well, we're nearing the end of our little game, so let's try some rapid fire. Paul's most ridiculous role? In 1999, he appeared in a commercial for Youth Smoking Prevention, and was on soap opera Guiding Light alongside a young Brittany Snow from 1999 to 2001. Toss-up, right?

Other fun stuff? He was born on July 23, 1982, making his astrological sign Leo. And if he could be doing anything other than playing a brooding vamp on TV? He'd want to be an investigative journalist. We like!

So there you have it, Wesley buffs. For more on Paul and all your favorite TVD stars, get yourself on over to http://www.Wetpaint.com/the-vampire-d.... and show off your newfound knowledge on our Facebook page at   / thevampirediariesfansite  . Bye!
