Because of his sarcasm and the perfectly-timed delivery of his one-liners, among other things, Damon became one of the most beloved characters in "The Vampire Diaries." Even when he enraged his fans, his humor opened a window to their empathy when the show's creators delved deeper into his iron shell.

Ian Somerhalder brilliantly portrayed Damon Salvatore in a way that didn't excuse his malicious nature and resistance to vulnerability but also made room for why those traits seemed to define him, at least initially. Things changed when Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev, who starred alongside Kat Graham) came into his life.
