Mini biography
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.
