| The son of a massage therapist and
a building contractor, Somerhalder was born and raised in the
small southern town of Covington, LA. Boating, swimming, fishing
and training horses filled much of his recreational time growing
up, as did the school drama club and performing with the local
theater group. With his mother's encouragement, at age 10 he
began a modeling career that took him to New York each summer.
By junior high, he opted to put modeling on the back burner
and focus more on sports and school. A few years later, when
the opportunity to model in Europe arose, Somerhalder grabbed
it, embarking on an enriching path of work, travel and study
that took him to cities including Paris, Milan and London. 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(1999)_ . A talent
manager visiting a client on the set spotted Somerhalder 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.
