Sebastian Stan putea deveni vampir înainte de a intra în universul Marvel. Rolul celebru pe care l-a refuzat
Romanian actor Sebastian Stan revealed he was offered the role of Stefan Salvatore in "The Vampire Diaries," which ultimately went to Paul Wesley. Reflecting on this, Stan expressed satisfaction with his decision not to take the role, as he felt unprepared for the fame it would bring. He was concerned about being typecast in supernatural roles after his previous project, "The Covenant," and was emotionally drained from his last series, "Kings." Despite "The Vampire Diaries" becoming a major success, Stan believes he wasn't ready for such notoriety at that time. Interestingly, he was also considered for the role of Damon Salvatore, which went to Ian Somerhalder. Wesley's casting as Stefan was initially met with skepticism from the creators, but he ultimately portrayed the character throughout the show's eight seasons.
