McQueen previously starred as Jeremy Gilbert, a troubled teen on a dangerous and self-destructive path since the death of his parents, in the CW hit drama “The Vampire Diaries.”
McQueen has already built an impressive resume of television appearances. He had a recurring role as a musical prodigy on the drama “Everwood,” and a leading role in the Disney Channel movie “Minutemen.” His guest-starring roles have included “CSI: Miami,” “Without a Trace,” “Numbers” and “Threshold.”
