James Lafferty Reflects on Near-Exit from Acting Before 'One Tree Hill'

The actor shares how landing the role of Nathan Scott at 17 was a pivotal moment in his career.

Lafferty considered quitting acting and attending college if he didn't get the 'One Tree Hill' role.
He started acting as a child, auditioning from the age of 10 and working through smaller roles.
The 'One Tree Hill' script, originally titled 'Ravens,' offered him a complex character he was eager to portray.
Lafferty felt the role of Nathan Scott was well-written, despite initially being a villain.
He is now focused on finding a streaming platform for his co-written series 'Everyone Is Doing Great.'
