We know him as Adam Knight from 'Smallville,' and more recently as Boone Carlyle, one of the sexy plane crash survivors who so unexpectedly died in the first season of 'Lost.' These are just two examples of the work of the talented and sexy Ian Joseph Somerhalder. 5' 9" (1.75 m) tall Ian was born (December 8, 1978) and raised in the small southern town of Covington, LA. With his mother's encouragement, at age 10 he began a modeling career that took him to New York each summer, and before he was 17 to various European cities, like Paris, Milan and London, where he modeled for Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabanna, Gucci, Versace and Guess 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.
Ian doesn't like to talk about his modeling career because of the impressions people might get of him as being just another pretty face. But he doesn’t need to be afraid for that. His ‘death’ in Lost opened new paths for Ian. This year he will feature in not less than three movies : TV : THE MOVIE, A celebration of the ever increasing depravity of television in our society, and THE SENSATION OF SIGHT, an off-beat drama about man's search for meaning amidst the ache of despair, both in post-production, and PULSE. PULSE, based on the Japanese horror movie 'Kairo,' centers on a group of college students who discover a website, which at first appears to be merely a scary hoax with an irresistible marketing ploy, but turns out to be run by a sinister and deadly force. As people repeatedly tap into the site's frightening images of the dead, the supernatural force begins controlling their lives. PULSE has been released in cinemas early March, and we are happy to see Ian back.































































It's always to see Ian!
