Sophia Bush Shocked To Learn New Detail

Sophia Bush revealed she learned that Chad Michael Murray was originally supposed to be Nathan Scott. 

“Do you know that when the show first started – and I didn’t even know this until years later because Brooke’s not in the pilot… I learned that originally, the WB had tried to cast Chad as Nathan. And he was like, ‘No. I always play the bad guy. I wanna play the good guy.'”

Chad also revealed that he needed to put his foot down on this one.

“Lucas was the choice for me. And so it was a moment where I think I made a career decision and I put my foot down and I just said, ‘Guys I really wanna play Lucas. This is the character.’ And I was blessed enough that Warner Brothers and everybody there… took care of me and said, ‘You know what, alright, [we’re] gonna give you a shot.'”
