The character of Damon Salvatore is played by the handsome Ian Somerhalder. He turns into a hero after falling in love with Elena. It was Katherine Pierce who turned him into a vampire and it was his brother who made his transformation complete after convincing him to drink blood.

Both the brothers are involved in a love triangle with Elena, but Elena chooses to be with Damon.
An interesting fact is that Somerhalder who played the character of Damon had not read the TVD books until the filming of the TV series began.
