    James Lafferty is bringing about a new era of TV acting.His acting and athletic combination(as a basketball player) just defies it all... hide show

    James Lafferty one of the lead actors of one tree hill is a versatile actor. The fact that he pulls off different emotions for his character Nathan Scott who is supposedly the "mean half-brother" in season one actually made the audience hate him. And we gradually get an insight into why he is that way as the show progresses which James is able to portray really well. Around middle of season 1 we see that the reason Nathan acts all mean towards Chad's character "Lucas" is because his dad "Dan" really pressurises him to be the best and he sees Lucas as the only person who can change that. The way James portrays those confused emotions is brilliant. It gradually changes the audience's perception of his character.

    In season two we see Nathan as the "better person" and a much better husband. The way he handles his personal life and friendship with his friends and half-brother Lucas makes the audience adore him.

    In the show what drastically changes Nathan in becoming a better person is "Haley". The way he behaves when he is around her and around Lucas is completely different. That again is the result of good acting.

    All in all I can conclude that James is not only a good actor but also very talented and original and his change of nature has really brought for him a large fan base who like him as well as respect him.

    Born on July 25th, 1985 in Hemet California, James Martin Lafferty was already destined to be a star. James was born and raised in Hemet, California until he was 16 years old. hide show

    Where do I begin with James? One thing is he is amazingly talented! He has continued to prove how talented he is through his character Nathan Scott on One Tree Hill. Words that I would use to descrbe James are: talented, handsome, geniune, caring, and just an overall sweetheart. From the first time I saw James act I knew that he was going to be something great! He seems to live a life that goes beyond the aspects of hollywood fame. Even though he's on a hit TV show he's a down to earth guy and it seems that he realizes that and keeps himself grounded.

    He's a really awesome actor, I love him! :) James Lafferty is best known for being on the best show in the world, One Tree Hill. Other than his amazing looks, he's such a great actor! He portrays Nathan Scott really well and has great chemistry with every other character on the show. I love him and Haley together. They are amazing. I think he should be on other things too, but then the whole world would fall in love with him. I hope someday I get to meet him :D I would probably be so speechless but whatever it's James!
