TheTVObserver: Chad Micheal Murray


What I love about my favorite channel in the entire world, The CW, is that they know how to keep the good old Eye Candy alive. With all their shows, the ladies are fine and the guys are hot. It’s no surprise that TheTVObserver’s StarSpread presents One Tree Hill’s super hunk, Chad Michael Murray.

Birth Name: Chad Michael Murray
Birth Date: August 24, 1981
Spouse: Sophia Bush (actress, 16-Apr-05 - 28-Dec-06)
Claim to fame: As Lucas Scott on The CW's "One Tree Hill" (2003)

Possessing the sort of moody good looks that can melt the hearts of teenage girls everywhere, actor Chad Michael Murray impressed television audiences early on with his role on the popular family drama series Gilmore Girls.
Later breaking into feature territory with roles in the apocalyptic Megiddo: Omega Code 2 and Freaky Friday, the up-and-comer seemed poised to become the next Josh Hartnett.

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Murray gave his family a taste of his talent early on when the assured young entertainer kept them in stitches with a series of amusing skits and songs. A career in high-school athletics was cut short when the gridiron runner was sidelined with a serious football injury, and it was during his recovery that a nurse persuaded Murray to pursue a career in modeling.

Subsequently awarded a modeling scholarship from a nearby Buffalo agency, Murray was spotted by a Hollywood talent scout during a convention in Orlando and convinced to try his hand at acting. With high school behind him and stars in his eyes, the handsome young model made for the West Coast while supporting himself with a series of modeling jobs.

As with many L.A. newcomers, Murray's early career consisted mainly of supporting performances in such shows as Diagnosis Murder, and in 2001, his profile was given a considerable boost with roles on both Dawson's Creek and Gilmore Girls. A feature debut in Megiddo was quick to follow, and in 2003, Murray strapped on the famous identity-concealing mask for the lead in the made-for-TV remake The Lone Ranger.

A role opposite teen sensation Lindsay Lohan in the Disney remake Freaky Friday offered Murray some prime exposure, with One Tree Hill finding him returning to the small screen as a basketball-playing teen who shares a dark secret with his estranged brother. After appearing opposite Lizzie McGuire star Hilary Duff in the romantic teen comedy A Cinderella Story (2004), Murray moved into darker territory with the horror remake House of Wax (also 2004).

Murray is known as CMM to fans... He married actress Sophia Bush, his co-star in One Tree Hill, on 16 April 2005... According to a July 2004 article in USA Today, "Because of a football injury, Murray had part of his small intestine removed at age 15, which now prevents him from gaining weight."

One Tree Hill Statement
It has been reported that Chad Michael Murray has said it plain and bold that he's not coming back to "One Tree Hill" next year. Captured by fan's video while he's having some interacting session, he said "They don't want me. I'm not joking." To view the video click here

He went on to say "See, this is what all the fans should do online, is start blogging and being pissed off that they don't want that. That's what they should do." He continued telling the bunch of fans taking pictures of him, "They're not bringing me back next year...because they want to save money."

He added that he was shooting the last scene at that moment but won't spill what kind of exit story that his character may have.

"One Tree Hill" has been ordered for a seventh season by The CW. Apart from being the actor, Chad has often directed and written for the episodes. However, there may still be hope of him coming back next season.
