The Vampire Diary

“When you lose your father you tend to look for male role models,” McQueen says. “Though his legacy tells him he needs to hate them, the people Jeremy can relate to the most are these vampires, these broken people. When he sees Damon and even Stefan in a way, they’re broken people who have more experience than him. He looks at them with caution but almost as a role model.”

 

 

         

        

Hollywoodnews.com: We had the opportunity to interview “The Vampire Diaries” star Steven R. McQueen this morning (August 12nd). He has a meaty role (pun intended) in the upcoming horror comedy, “Piranha 3D.”

McQueen comes from a royal Hollywood family. He’s the grandson of iconic actor Steve McQueen, and son of Chad McQueen. Of course, most people know him for his work on The CW’s hit television show. McQueen plays Jeremy Gilbert, the adoptive younger brother of Nina Dobrev’s character, Elena.

We’ll have much more on “Piranha” next week, ahead of the film’s Aug. 20 opening. But before we let McQueen go this morning, we had to ask him about the second season of “Vampire Diaries,” which is set to begin on Sept. 9.

“Obviously I can’t say whether he makes that change or not,” McQueen told me, referring to an unanswered question from the show’s first season about whether the previously human Jeremy turned into an undead vamp for season two.

“But I can say that Jeremy has been pushed around a lot. He lost the girl he loved. Both girls he loved, in fact. He lost his parents. And he has been betrayed by the one family member that he has left. Rather than kind of wearing his heart on his sleeve and allowing himself to get pushed around, he starts to push back and stand his ground. He also begins to become a little more cold and calculated.”

When asked if he enjoyed taking Jeremy down these darker avenues, McQueen told me, “Oh yeah. Jeremy has been one of the most favorite characters I’ve ever played, just because he has gone through so much, and he has been forced to make so many changes. You can only be hurt for so long before you turn hard. And that has been interesting to see his progression as the series has gone along.”

Expect to see a lot of McQueen in the coming week, with “Piranha” hitting theaters on Aug. 20, and “The Vampire Diaries” returning to the airwaves in September.

Steven attended the “Pirahna 3D “Too Hot For Comic-Con Party” yesterday I’ve added HQ Photos to the gallery so check them out, and as you will notice we now added a Steven Section to part of the cast for photos of him outside The Vampire Diaries.

Grattis på födelsedagen, Steven R. McQueen! The “Vampire Diaries” aktören blir 22 år ung idag! Vi hoppas att han har kul med att fira sin födelsedag i Atlanta, där produktionen av den andra säsongen av “The Vampire Diaries” började igår.

Igår var en "Vampire Diaries"- fullspäckad dag, med Julie Plec som linkade den helt nya VD TV Guide Magazine omslag och Ian Somerhalder som tvittrade en bild av hans manus av den andra säsongen, som avslöjade att det första avsnittet i den andra säsongen kommer att vara titlad : “The Return”

Steven och hans andra medarbetare kommer att spendera de närmsta dagarna i Atlanta före de åker över till San Diego för att medverka i "Vampire Diaries" panel på Comic-Con, så jag kommer att blogga om mycket mer om den andra säsongen de närmsta dagarna. MTV kommer att filma hela sessionen, men var inte oroliga. Jag kommer att se till att ni får veta så mycket som möjligt! 

Om ni inte kan vänta tills den 9:e september för premiären av den andra säsongen av VD för att se Steven, så kan ni titta på honom i “Piranha 3-D” som kommer ut den 20:e augusti (i USA).
