We’ve been following the development of the brand new CW pilot, The Carrie Diaries. You already know it is a prequel series to Sex and the City, but do you know who just run the male lead role? We do, and lucky for you, we’re in a sharing mood.

The young actor’s name is Austin Butler and you may have spied the blond on Lifetime’s The Bling Ring. According to Deadline the young Carrie Bradshaw will be acted by AnnaSophia Robb of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Bridge to Terabithia, The Reaping and Soul Surfer.

He may not be Mr. Big, but Austin Butler will enter Carrie’s 80′s era High School kind of the same way Edward Cullen enters the cafeteria at Forks High. He’s going to draw attention. His character’s name is Sebastian Kydd. That doesn’t sound made up at all, now does it? At any rate, The Carrie Diaries were also penned by writer Candace Bushnell. We reported right here that Running Wilde actress Stefania Owen will be playing Carrie’s 14-year old sister, Dorrit.

This may not be related to his acting, but rumor has it, Mr. Butler is dating former Disney star Vanessa Hudgens in real life. Hmm. Does that make him glitterati already? Are you Sex and City fans excited about The Carrie Diaries?
