From a brash Harvard janitor asking “how you like them apples?” to franchise superstar, we’ve watched this Boston-bred father of four show off his wide range of talents for many years. We know we’ll be seeing Damon for many years to come—and we’re glad about that!

The CW’s still-smoldering hit The Vampire Diaries returns for its fourth season on October 11, and (holy crap) there is a lot of fanging going on! Snakkle caught up with executive producer Julie Plec to discuss her interactions with fans, Elena’s “brutal” new life, and so much more!

Hubba, hubba!
