While in high school, Chad Michael Murray played on his school's
football team, and after he was laid up in the hospital with a
career-ending injury, a nurse persuaded him to look into modeling. After
graduating, he did, and was later spotted at a convention
... more in Orlando by a
Hollywood scout, who persuaded him to move to Los Angeles and pursue
acting. Chad continued to take modeling jobs, but also began guest-starring on
TV shows such as "Dawson's Creek" and "Diagnosis Murder." A repeating role on
"Gilmore Girls" was Chad's big break; in 2003,
he starred opposite Lindsay Lohan in the film "Freaky Friday," and returned to the small screen to star in
"One Tree Hill." Recently, Chad co-starred in "A Cinderella Story" and the teen horror flick "House of Wax." This April, he married his "One Tree Hill"
co-star Sophia Bush, but they separated after just five
months. Close
