Displaying astonishing versatility with a wide range of projects, Ian Somerhalder is quickly making his mark on Hollywood.  Somerhalder is best known for his role as Boone on ABC's critically  acclaimed drama "Lost."  "Lost" won the 2005 Emmy Award for "Best  Television Series - Drama" and was nominated for the 2004 Golden Globe  Award as well as a People's Choice Award.  "Lost" was created by J.J. Abrams. Ian recently completed production in New Hampshire on Aaron Wiederspahn's "The Sensation of Sight" opposite David Strathairn.

He also recently starred Off Broadway in Trip Cullman's ensemble, "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead," a new play by Bert V. Royal at the Century Center for the Performing Arts (111 East 15th Street) in Manhattan.  "Dog Sees God" is an "unauthorized parody" that follows the travails of "Charlie Brown," America's most hapless cartoon character, all grown up.  The spoof of the Charles Schulz comic strip "Peanuts" follows the original gang a decade later as their beloved beagle companion dies.  A missing pen pal, an abused pianist, a pyromaniac ex-girlfriend, two drunken cheerleaders, a homophobic quarterback, a burnt out Buddhist and a drama queen sister fill the show's ensemble.

The play was one of the breakout hits of the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival, winning an Excellence Award for Best Overall Production, as well as Theatermania's Best Play of 2004, and the GLAAD Media Award for Best Off-Off-Broadway production.  Ian co-stars with Eddie Kaye Thomas, Eliza Dushku, America Ferrera, Ari Graynor, Logan Marshall-Green, Keith Nobbs and Kelli Garner.  "Dog Sees God" will begin previews on December 1st and will open on December 15th.   Dede Harris is producing (producer of "The Pillowman," "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," "A Raisin in the Sun," "Hairspray," "Metamorphoses," "The Exonerated," among others).

In 2002, Somerhalder starred in Roger Avary's "The Rules of Attraction." Based on a novel by Brett Easton Ellis, the film follows the intertwining love lives of students at a New England college in the mid-1980's.  Somerhalder played "Paul," a bisexual man who becomes entangled in a love triangle.  James Van Der Beek, Kate Bosworth, Kip Pardue and Jessica Biel also starred.

In 2001, Somerhalder starred in Irwin Winkler's "Life as a House" opposite Hayden Christensen, Kevin Kline and Kristen Scott Thomas.  Somerhalder was honored at Movieline Magazine's "Young Hollywood  Awards," receiving the FRESH NEW FACE Award for his role. Somerhalder's other film credits include Martin Guigui's "Changing Hearts" opposite Lauren Holly and Faye Dunaway and Tony Giglio's "In Enemy Hands" opposite William H. Macy, Jeremy Sisto, and Scott Caan.

Somerhalder's first foray into television came with a lead role on the WB's "Young Americans."  Other television credits include the made for TV movie "Anatomy of a Hate Crime," "CSI," "CSI: Miami," "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit," and "Smallville." In addition to film and television, Somerhalder was the face of GUESS? Clothing and was featured in their Fall campaigns for two years running.  Other campaigns include prestigious designers such as Versace, Espirit  and Persol.  Somerhalder also participated in a worldwide campaign for Levi Strauss.
