Vampire Diaries 24/7

Ian talks about being a "Sexy Beast", about the dynamics of TVD set and answered the question: Would he consider doing a musical episode?



"I would do a musical episode in a heartbeat!" Ian exclaimed, then revealed that one of his fellow cast members has a hidden talent that would be perfect for a musical. "Zach Roerig [aka Matt] is a tap dancer," he said. "Who would've thought?"



So what would be Damon's go-to musical number?


"I don't know… Damon would be more like the barber of Fleet Street [a la "Sweeney Todd"]. He would be the guy who sings as he cuts people's arms off," he said matter-of-factly—which made us laugh out loud. "Full, Johnny Depp style."

Speaking of Johnny Depp and movies, would Ian consider doing more feature films?

"Well absolutely. Are you kidding? It will happen eventually," he said. "Right now this show is our focus, this is what we're doing. We're in the thick of it, and it's an amazing place to be... We have the best jobs ever and hopefully features come down the pike."

We mentioned that given his new "Sexy Beast" status, bestowed by Entertainment Weekly readers, the move scripts should be pouring in by now.

"I just walk around the set growling now," he joked, adding that he got "a lot" of hazing from his fellow cast members for that title. "That was pretty awesome," he said. "That was a trip."

Speaking of the on-set dynamics among the popular cast, Ian said that everyone gets along really well.

"Paul [Wesley] and I just pretty much make fun of each other all day," he said. "Nina [Dobrev] pretty much makes fun of the two of us all day."

Has this friendly banter led to any pet names or nicknames?

"We don’t necessarily have nicknames [for each other], if there are nicknames, they’re not very PG-13 or even 17... Yeah, I’ll leave those silent."
