Metcalfe Rejected for Being Too Nice
In his latest interview, on Tori Spelling’s ‘misSPELLING’ podcast, actor Jesse Metcalfe, best known for his portrayal of John Rowland in ‘Desperate Housewives’, revealed that he tried to get cast in ‘The Vampire Diaries’ but heard from a CW executive that he is ‘too nice to play a vampire’.
When Spelling joked that Metcalfe, 46, is a great fit to play Jacob the werewolf (essayed by Taylor Lautner) in the ‘Twilight’ movies, he went on to divulge, “I’ll never forget, a high-up executive at CW was like, ‘You could never play a vampire because you have too nice of a face.’”

“That’s what she said to me. She said, ‘You look like too nice of a guy to play a vampire,’” Metcalfe reiterated, and quipped, “I’m not that nice. I got a lot of edge.”
Notably, Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder led the supernatural series, ‘The Vampire Diaries’, by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec, which ran for eight seasons, spanning over 170 episodes and nine years, from 2009 till 2017.
