Biography
While growing up in Covington, Louisiana Ian Sommerhalder filled his time boating, swimming, fishing, and training horses. The school drama club and performing with a local theater group also filled much of his recreational time. The son of a massage therapist and a building contractor Ian's mother encouraged him to enter modeling.
At 15 Somerhalder went to Europe embarking on an enriching path of work, travel and study that took him to cities including Paris, Milan and London. He has modeled for such brand names such as Guess, Levis, and Versace. At 17, he began studying acting in New York, and by 19 had committed himself to the craft, working with preeminent acting coach William Esper.
His fate was sealed while working as an extra in a club scene in the feature film "Black & White." A talent manager visiting a client on the set spotted Somerhalder's amazing look in a crowd scene of 400 and immediately signed him for representation. Happy to be anchored in New York, Somerhalder spends much of his time studying acting, writing and practicing yoga. His recreational interests include water and snow skiing and horseback riding.
