Ian Somerhalder...☺


Ian Somerhalder… known for sinking his teeth into humans on The Vampire Diaries, but off screen he has begun the Ian Somerhalder Foundation that is focused on environmental issues,  from water conservation to battling deforestation and problems of animal overpopulation.

 “I’d just wrapped Vampire Diaries and found out about the oil spill and was so angry. I literally packed everything, grabbed my two pets, rented a car and hauled ass back home to Louisiana.” Ian founded the ISF in December, on his 32nd birthday.

He’s also working on finding sponsors for a nationwide cleanup day that the ISF hopes to stage around Earth Day. Although the global issues Ian has in his sights are overwhelming, he brings an infectious optimism, and realism, to the table.

“You have to pick battles that are small enough to win, yet big enough to matter,” he said. Ian Somerhalder is not only a great actor and performer but also a very down to earth and environmentally friendly guy!
