Trivia
Although his character in The Vampire Diaries (2009), Dr. Wes Maxfield, is implied to be many years older than Shaun Sipos's character, Aaron Whitmore and acts as his legal guardian, Cosnett is in fact two years younger than Sipos in real life.

Quotes
I really feel like we need to push the boundaries of the craft of acting and filmmaking James Dean and Marlon Brando were a part of generation that did that. Now, i think it's time for us to do it and i really want to be a part of that movement.
