Top 9 of '09: Breakout Stars of the Year 

#7 Paul Wesley
Everyone loves a teenage vampire, and thanks to the CW's Vampire Diaries, Edward Cullen has some stiff competition. As Stefan Salvatore, Paul Wesley is every bit as brooding and mysterious as Robert Pattinson. The only difference is that while Pattinson is a pale string bean, Wesley is all man. It doesn't hurt that this year he also showed up on 24 as Kim Bauer's husband and the father of Jack Bauer's grandson.
