Actor felt typecast into 'bad guy' roles and claims he received no support from the show's crew or cast.

Paul Johansson, who played Dan Scott on 'One Tree Hill', revealed he suffered from depression and alcoholism during his time on the show.
Johansson stated he was 'deeply depressed' and was drinking a couple of bottles of wine a night by himself for about six or seven years.
He felt he was absorbing the negative energy of people who saw him as the villainous character he played on the show.
