Ian Somerhalder, who played Boone on ABC's hit Lost, has joined the cast of The CW's drama pilot Vampire Diaries, Variety reported.

Isin´t he a little old for the role? I thought the books were about teenagers, and everlooking-teenage vampires. I hope he can pull it off, other wise it just looks plain silly... An older dude and a teen girl...!

Where have we seen an older vampire dude/teenage girl pairing before? Any Buffy/Angel fans out there? :-)
