Ian Joseph Somerhalder (born December 8, 1978) is an American fashion model, actor and producer, notable for playing Boone Carlyle in the TV drama Lost and Damon Salvatore in the TV drama The Vampire Diaries.

Ian Somerhalder was born and raised in Covington, Louisiana to parents Robert and Edna and has two siblings - older brother, Bob, and younger sister, Robin. He embarked on a modelling career at the age of 10 and by the age of 17 he decided to go into acting. [1]

In the summer of 2000 Somerhalder starred in the short-lived WB series Young Americans, a spin-off of Dawson's Creek. He played Hamilton Fleming, the son of the dean of a prestigious boarding school, who falls in love with someone who he thinks is a boy but is actually a girl.

In 2002, Somerhalder played bisexual character Paul Denton in Roger Avary's adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel, The Rules of Attraction, alongside James Van Der Beek, Shannyn Sossamon, and Jessica Biel.

In 2004, Somerhalder scored his breakthrough role when he played Boone Carlyle in the hit TV show Lost. Despite his character's death in the twentieth episode of the first season, Somerhalder returned to the role of Boone for seven more episodes, between 2005 and 2010, including the series finale. In an ironic twist, Somerhalder was the first actor to be cast in a role for the series, but was also the first character to die. He has stated that he was going to buy a house in Hawaii, where filming took place, until he learned his character was being killed off.

In May 2006, Somerhalder was named one of DNA Models' Top 10 Male Models.[1][dead link]

Somerhalder guest starred as Nick in HBO's Tell Me You Love Me appearing fully nude in a sex scene with actress Michelle Borth. The show was cancelled after just one season.

In September 2009, Somerhalder appeared in the movie The Tournament where he played the role of an assassin participating in a lethal competition with other assassins. On 10 October 2009, it was announced that he will star in the Gothic movie Cradlewood, which is to be directed by Harry Weinmann.[2] The movie is set to be released in 2011.[3]

Ian Somerhalder also appears in the limited-edition coffee table book About Face by celebrity photographer John Russo and Pixie Press Worldwide publishers.[4][5]

Somerhalder currently stars as Damon Salvatore in the CW TV teen drama series The Vampire Diaries.[6]. He won Entertainment Weekly's "Sexy Beast" tournament in 2010 for this role, beating Edward Cullen in a closely-fought final.[7]

Serija je katastrofa? Ne možeš da kažeš da je serija katastrofa, serija je odlična i više nego odlična, totalno je suprotno, njegov lik u "Izgubljenima" je totalno glup i nije bio nimalo dobar tamo, stalno se gubio u scenama. Serija je odlična, a njegov lik je preglup, pa je zato i izbačen nakon 18 epizoda.

aaa Ian je meni savrsen
super je odglumio u TVD i mnogog mi se svidja njegov lik,a uskoro cemo videti kakav je par sa Katom
