The Vampire Diaries' Paul Wesley on directing season 6 episode 11

The Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley took the director's chair for episode 6.11 of the vampire drama titled "Woke Up With A Monster". Below, Wesley has previewed what fans can expect from the Jan. 22nd installment. Get the scoop! This episode in my opinion is a much more grounded episode. It’s actually not as mystical. There’s not a lot of mythology in my episode; it’s really about the more tender moments. The best and most exciting moments are the moments when we step away from all of that and we really get down to some beautiful interaction between two characters that is really intimate. What I love about my episode is that it is fast-paced, fast-paced, fast-paced, exciting, entertaining, and then it sort of slows down and there’s this moment of real tenderness, which I think is so important on our show. It’s all about the people and there’s some really beautiful moments and amazing performances. I’m excited about that interesting sort of juxtaposition.
