Paul Wesley, best known to genre fans for his work as Stefan on The CW's The Vampire Diaries, was announced as the Strange New Worlds version of Kirk earlier this year, but was originally confirmed only for the show's upcoming second season.
**Spoilers for the Season 1 finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ahead.** Now, the secret is out, and the actor behind the newest iteration of the Starfleet legend is opening up about what it was like to put on that gold command uniform.
