Sean Faris has landed the lead in drama pilot for The CW called The Wyoming Project.
The show was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, who is best known as the creator and executive producer of Gilmore Girls. According to THR, Sean, 27, will play Gideon Thorpe, a horse trainer who becomes the patriarch of a Wyoming ranch responsible for his three younger sisters after their parents die.
In other pilot news, Rachael Leigh Cook has also been tapped as the lead on Fox’s comedy pilot Nirvana.
Nirvana revolves around “two grown Indian-American brothers who clash with their controlling immigrant parents as they assimilate American culture, particularly one son, who lives with a white girlfriend (Cook).”
Looks like Sean Faris will be wielding more than just acting skills when he joins the delicious cast of Vampire Diaries!
The hunky actor, who'll be playing Mystic Grill bartender Ben in the new year, said in the new issue of Men's Health that he packed on 15 lbs. for the CW's fangtastic hit.
"Cooking at home is key to being in shape," the 27-year-old star said. "You can order a salad in a restaurant, but not know what you’re getting."
And the secret to achieving his six-pack? It's all about taking it slow.
"I see so many people in the gym just slinging weights around," he said. "You can accomplish more if you squeeze the reps out in perfect form, instead of going big and trying to kill it every time."
