David Anders will soon take up residence in Mystic Falls.
The 28-year-old actor has been added to the cast of Vampire Diaries as Jonathan Gilbert, Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Jeremy's uncle. The show previously introduced an older Jonathan Gilbert in a flashback, but a rep for the show says this is an entirely different character.
The present-day Jonathan Gilbert will first appear in the April 15 episode and will recur throughout the season.
Anders recently kicked the bucket on 24. Before that, he had regular roles on Heroes and Alias.

The Vampire Diaries's executive producer Julie Plec has revealed that the show will draw more storylines from the novels in future.
The CW programme is loosely based on a book series by L. J. Smith but the first season was different from the original story.
However, Plec explained that the show will start to stick more closely to the novels in new episodes.
"The deeper we get into the series, ironically, the more we're going to be taking from the books," she told TV Guide. "That's cool because we strayed so far so quickly, just by definition of trying to shape a good story in the right way for television."
She added: "To find ourselves naturally returning to the source material and the villains that you met, it's kind of awesome."
The Vampire Diaries returns for a new season on September 9 on The CW.
