The Vampire Diaries co-star Matt Davis has been cast as the male lead in Rockne S. O’Bannon’s new CW pilot, Cult, which will be shooting shortly.

Davis, seen as the vampire hunting history teacher Alaric on the CW show, will play journalist blogger Jeff, whose brother is one of the missing people who Jessica Lucas’s Skye is investigating, according to the report at Deadline. If Cult is picked up to series, then Davis would make occasional appearances on Vampire Diaries, dependent on his schedule.
