Thomas Doherty, the boyfriend we all want but Dove Cameron has... is joining The Vampire Diaries spin-off Legacies!!!!

WATCH: Thomas Doherty first scene as Sebastian on Legacies

Thomas will take on the role of a 600-year-old vampire Sebastian, who has appeared in present day all of a sudden, and fans are linking him to the likes of Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder)... we mean, they even look the same.

Meet Sebastian, Thomas' new character for Legacies.

Instagram

Sebastian/Thomas will serve as Lizzie Saltzman's new love-interest, joining the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted.

Lizzie Saltzman will be Thomas' love-interest.

Legacies

Seventeen.com got to chat to Thomas about his new role, where he dished on being compared to Damon.

"I think we definitely share that same energy. We have a very similar energy and expressions where we also have this charming, brooding quality to them. You'll just have to wait and see if they're similar and make your own mind up."

damonsalvatore

Nobody could replace Damon, but Thomas is a great pick.

The Vampire Diaries

While Thomas won't actually be playing Damon, he understands he has some big shoes to fill being compared to the hunky Vampire.

"It's always flattering to be compared to someone everyone loved in the series and who is a very successful and incredible actor. I think when I was working for Disney, I kept getting compared to Zac Efron and Troy Bolton and stuff, so that was natural to that.

"I mean, I try to not let that affect what you're trying to do for your character. They are completely different characters and he's also done his fantastically well and you don't just want to copy that.

"You want to give the audience something different. Something else that they can either relate to or not relate to. Enjoy or not enjoy. That's the whole essence of what we do."

legacies

Lizzie and Sebastian make a cute couple.
