Ian Then Some...The Articles & Interviews
Seventeen Summer Love Issue
When Young Americans premieres in July, you can bet that scandal and heartache won't be far behind. After stirring things up on Dawson's Creek this spring, Will (Rodney Scott) headed off to Rawley Academy, an all-male prep school in small-town New England. In the opening episode of the new series, blue blood meets blue collar, and town clashes with gown. Before tuning in, we wanted to get to know the newcomers who make up the show's cast, so we asked them for their vital stats...and their thoughts on love (none are currently in steady relationships). Remember this is from last year!
Ian Somerhalder
He plays: Hamilton Fleming, the loner son of Rawley Academy's dean.
Birthday: December 8; Sagittarius
Hometown: Covington, LA
The early years: He moved to Europe at 17 to pursue a career in modeling.
Thoughts on love: "I'm constantly in search of how or when you know it's
right. Most of my friends are older, so I'm always asking them, and they all
say the same thing: 'You don't'"
Kate Bosworth
She plays: Bella Banks, a strong-willed townie.
Birthday: January 2; Capricorn
Hometown: Born in Los Angeles; now lives in Boston
Her close pals: "I just love hanging out with guys. I like girls, but
sometimes they can be competitive, and I hate that."
Thoughts on love: "The hardest thing about dating is that first part when it's
really awkward. Then you get over it, and it's just fun to discover new things
about each other."
