Why Ian Somerhalder Decided to Do Another Vampire Show After The Vampire Diaries
It seems Ian Somerhalder just can't quit the vampire genre. After playing Damon Salvatore on The Vampire Diaries for eight seasons, the actor is dipping his toes into the supernatural yet again with Netflix's V-Wars. Only this time, he'll be playing a human. In the series, which is based on Jonathan Maberry's Idw graphic novels of the same name, Somerhalder will play Dr. Luther Swann, a man who has to adapt to a terrifying new reality when his best friend Michael is transformed into a murderous predator by a mysterious disease.
So, what exactly made Somerhalder decide to do another vampire show? Well, he just couldn't turn down the incredible story. We recently talked with the actor for National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day on Aug. 22 in partnership with Royal Canin, and he discussed why he's so passionate about the upcoming series and how it will differ from The Vampire Diaries.
