Paul Wesley (The Vampire Diaries, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds) gets candid with his experience on Vampire Diaries from the stress filled, frantic auditions to the burn out of the CW hit show spanning nine years.

Paul talks about the importance of therapy and opens up on the lowest point in his life, despite being at the height of his career.

He also talks about receiving advice from William Shatner for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, his brotherly bond with Ian Somerhalder, and his good boy Greg.
