Buffalo, New York
Birth Name:
Chad Michael Murray
AKA:
Chad Murray, CMM
Born in Buffalo, New York, Chad found a ready audience for his talents early on. When he was just four or five years old, the young ham performed skits and sang made-up songs for his large family which includes three brothers, Rex, Brandon and Nicholas, a half-brother, Tyler and a sister, Shannon. At age fifteen, a high school football injury landed him in a hospital where a nurse encouraged him to pursue a modeling career.

Two years later, Chad won a scholarship from a modeling agency in Buffalo to attend a modeling convention in Orlando. There he met his destiny when an agent

More from Los Angeles spotted him and persuaded the seventeen-year-old to pursue his dream of acting after graduation from high school.

In 1999, the aspiring actor headed for Hollywood where he supported himself modeling for such clients as Skechers, Tommy Hilfiger, and Gucci while looking for a break. Soon after he arrived, Chad appeared in several guest-starring television roles including an episode of "Diagnosis Murder" (1993). Then he got the call he'd been hoping for. The WB's "Gilmore Girls" (2000) was casting for the role of Tristan DuGrey. They were looking for someone who was likable and charismatic but with an edgy side, and someone who had that certain "IT" quality. Chad was all that plus he had the perfect physical characteristics that the show's writers had in mind. The teenager won the role and has since made the character his own.

He admires the talents of actors Edward Norton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Sean Penn and uses their influences in his work. Always a firm believer in clean living, Chad is a natural athlete. He played his favorite sport, football, in high school and keeps fit by working out at the gym, in-line skating, playing soccer, volleyball and basketball as well as football pick-up games. He is an anti-drug role model for kids and is active in charities for children and teens during his spare time. Before he married Sophia Bush on April 16th, 2005, Chad had set up house with a pug named Gus and a unique boisterous cat named Jack, who keep him from missing his large family too much.

Most recently, Chad and Sophia called it quits after just five months, after he confessed that he'd cheated on her. He is now engaged to Kenzie Dalton.

Chad has starred and co-starred in many movies and shows. He has been voted as one of the Top Ten Hottest Male Star on VH1.

    Chad Michael Murray is my favourite celebrity ever and he is so great! And he is soooo gorgeous! (Even though my best friend doesn't agree lol) and yes I just love him! He is so awesome on One Tree Hill! He was really the only reason I started to watch the show and now I love it, and am really obsessed with it haha :) He is also great on House of Wax, I really love that movie! I did hear that he may not be coming back for One Tree Hill season 7, and that would just be a disaster! One Tree Hill would be nothing without him! Please stay Chad, I love you! :)

    Chad Michael Murray is absolutely amazing! hide show

    Chad Michael Murray is one of my favorite actors like ever. I only started to watch One Tree Hill because he was the main character, and I fell in love with the show. It does not hurt that he is great to look at as well. Chad Michael Murray adds so much to the show. On the few episodes that he is not there for I did not enjoy those as much. His character, Lucas, is an amazing person inside and out. He is going to go on to do great things when One Tree Hill is over. I absolutely love him.

    He is a really good actor. hide show

    Chad Michael Murray is a very talented, handsome, and charming actor. He has a very well played role on One Tree Hill as Lucas Scott. After his divorce with Sophia Bush many of his fans looked down on him because the divorce was put out to be his fault. The divorce did not affect me as his fan because divorces happen to every day people. Other great roles I think he has played and other people should check out are his roles in A Cinderella Story, House of Wax, and Freaky Friday. He has eyes that will melt your heart. A lot of people believe he is over rated but really he is just a young actor trying to make it in Hollywood. He has done a very good job of himself and I think any one who has thought he is over rated should think again. I mean all Hollywood stars are cocky but also all of them have their nice side. Oh, and Chad is steamy hot.

    Absolutely gorgeous. Sooooo hot. hide show

    Chan Michael is absolutely gorgeous! Especially in that pic on top of the page - wow, just wow. He was smokin' (lol) in saeson 1 and then she shaved his head and I was like - what the? Then it grew a bit and I was like yay! Then he died it and I was like - oh no! But then it went back to his nice colour and I was like yay! haha what a weird review. I should call it 'The Life Story of Chad Michael Murray's Hair', haha. Oh yeah, he is also a good actor even though his character can get a bit corny at times and what with the brooding looks all the time. I mean, when he does it he looks hot but sometimes he does it just too often. Oh and I LOVE HIS SMILE!
