- He will play Jay, a sophisticated NYU history professor who comes from old money but is refreshingly unaffected and down-to-earth despite his refined background. Deeply in love with Clem (Dobrev), he proposes to her - much to the delight of his parents, Walt (Brian Stokes Mitchell) and Rose (Sheryl Lee Ralph) who think Clem is a real catch. But he learns that Clem has not been completely honest about a few key elements in her life. For example, her father isn't actually dead - and it drives a wedge of mistrust between them that might not be easily mended.
