 In His Own Words
[FONT="Georgia"]On Nathan: "Nathan Scott. He's a guy who's not the best at dealing with problems, especially his half-brother Lucas (Chad Michael Murray). Nathan is the star of the [high school] basketball team and things get very competitive with Chad's character when Lucas is recruited to the team."
On The best part about this gig:"I get to do a lot of my own work in the basketball scenes. I've played ball my entire life and I asked them to let me give doing my own stunts a shot.I guess they liked what I did."
On Joy: Joy sings a lot. Joy's constantly... always always using her voice. She sings between takes and stuff. I always laugh because she's always singing some showtune that I have no idea what it is or where it's from or when it's from or she just made it up. But yeah she does have an incredible voice and she's a very talented girl. And when she sang the national anthem I'll be honest, I never hear a national anthem like that, I think that's probably my favorite national anthem I've ever heard because I wanted to hear more after it was over. It was really great.
"Bethany is of course my co-star on the show. She plays Haley. And we've gotten to know each other pretty well. And she's a really great girl. She's a really nice girl and she's extremely, extremely talented."
On Hilarie:" Hilarie is such a cool girl, and she's got a pretty good jump shot too."
"Hilarie is a neat chick, she gets along well with everyone and is sort of the spark plug on set. She can really lighten mood at work."
On Chad: "Definitely a chick magnet. He causes quite a ruckus when we go out. I think Hilarie and I are going to have to escort him around town to keep him out of trouble."
On Barry: "Barry is definitely cool like Whitey. He's a very smart man, very funny, very laid back. You can learn alot from him if you listen."
On Nathan/Haley: "Fans absolutely love the whole relationship. That makes me so proud, so I say if the fans want it to work out that badly. I would love to see them get what they want. At the same time I think they should trust that regardless of what happens they're gonna see some great storytelling. "
About New Year's Resolution: "My new year's resolution is to stick to a good workout plan that will keep me healthy and happy."
On His Favorite Holiday: "I always have the most fun on the Fourth of July. You don't have to exchange any gifts. You just go to the beach and watch fireworks. It's always fun."
They Say...
Joy:"James is awesome. He's so laid-back and really interesting. He's extremly itelligent but a lot of times you'd never know because he's so quiet, which I think is awesome. He never feels like he has to prove himself to anybody and I really appreciate that about him."
Hilarie:"People think James is shy, but James Lafferty is a gentleman. He doesn't need to draw attention to himself, and he doesn't feel the need to prove anything to anybody. I really appreciate that. James Lafferty is going big, big places. He's a very talented man. I just wish he were older. See! I have a crush on James, but who doesn't?"
Sophia:"James is the sweetest guy you'd ever meet"
Barbara: "Oh, they're just wonderful guys. They're so different and lovable in different ways. They're just great, great guys, I love working with them. James is such a professional; he always comes to work extremely prepared and ready to work. He takes his work quite seriously, but doesn't take himself seriously, he's just a lovely kid.
Lee: "A few of you have asked me specifically about James. Simply put, he's a great guy. We have been good friends ever since we filmed the pilot together, and I really respect his talent as an actor and an athlete. More importantly, I respect the fact that he is practically unaffected by fame. He is very much the same guy that I first met a couple of years ago, and that says so much about the kind of quality person that he is."
Mark: "James is a sweet kid." "James has had a problem with emotion in the past... (now) he was so good with emotion. He has come so far. I love James so much for being able to go now to that emotional place."
Paul: "James has come so far. When he started the show, I guess he was, gosh he was 18. And he was a lot more gangly but he's been in the gym everyday drinking protein shakes and lifting. He's BUFF! He terrifies me... I won't even call him names anymore cause he'll slap me. He's going to be a leading man in Hollywood. And I just hope he throws his old friend PJ a job now and then. But if he doesn't that's fine I can still beat him at one on one!"
Brendan Kirsch(who coaches the players on the show and choreographs the sports plays): "James is excellent.He's the guy who's always interested in opening the gym, whether it's midnight or 2 a.m."
 JLa Stories
"I haven’t really meet James Lafferty, more like drooled at him from a far. I was an extra in 321. James was the nicest of the main 5 when they were on set. He just seemed like he cared that everything went well. He took phone calls a few times but spent most of the time chilling with the main extras joking and laughing. He even did a crossword puzzle with everybody while we were waiting around. There is a lot of waiting around in this business, but James spent most of it with the extras. He was really nice to everybody and thanked us at the end for being there. I also got to stand behind him in one shot and almost brushed shoulders with him if I wasn’t so stupidly polite and switched directions at the last second. When you’re an extra your not supposed to interact with the stars unless they talk to you. So I was doing the right thing, but it would have been a dream come true to be able to say I brushed shoulders with him Stupid me, hopefully next time. Anyway, extraing with James Lafferty was one of the best experiences of my life and I can’t wait to do it again, and hopefully actually talk to him this time "

"In March, there was a Friday when we had a 12+ hour filming day. James worked ALL day, and his knee was really bothering him. When the camera wasn't rolling, the poor guy was limping. Yet, he did not complain once, and did his job. Well, the next day, one of the mall tour visits took place.... I think it may have been in Atlanta, and it started at about noon. He worked a full day on Friday, in pain. I remember, he didn't wrap until around 10 that night, and had been on set since 8am. He immediately flew out to the signing on Saturday morning, (which he was late to because of his flight), but he showed up and stayed to meet and sign autographs for every last fan who came to interact with him. He then had to fly back to Wilmington for more basketball filming during Monday and Tuesday of the next week. He had to have been completely exhausted, and in a lot of pain. But, he still did all of it, and never complained. He took time out of his weekend to cater and be kind to the fans, despite his condition. He is very, very dedicated, and a genuinely caring young man. He naturally proves that constantly. His heart is always in the right place."
"It's amazing, because James has such a shy disposition, but once he gets comfortable enough, he's quite a talkative, "normal" 21 year old guy. Every single person who I've talked to who has interacted with James, has nothing but wonderful things to say about him. All of the cast loves hanging out with him, working with him, and is very proud of his growth as an actor. The crew adores him, and everyone else at the studios in Wilmington are very fond of him."
