Birthday: Ian Somerhalder

Today is the birthday of one of TV's favourite vampires, Ian Somerhalder.

Somerhalder got his start in the short lived Dawson's Creek spin-off Young Americans as a student at a boarding school confused by his attraction to another student - unaware of the fact that said student is actually a girl (played by Katherine Moennig).  For a few years after that he had a lot of bit roles in various TV shows and starring roles in a number of movies, including The Rules of Attraction.  He finally got a real break, however, in 2004 when he was cast as Boone Carlyle for the first season of Lost, where his death was the first major death in a series that liked to kill people.  Currently he appears on The Vampire Diaries as bad boy vampire Damon Salvatore.

No matter how eternal his alter-ego might be, today he is 34.  Happy birthday, Ian!
