Lafferty




At that age, what attracted me to the game
was the precision that the sport demanded.
It was the fact that I could shoot all night long
and no matter how many balls went through
that hoop, I could still get better. It became
an addiction that consumed my
adolescent life
.





"James is awesome. He's so laid-back and really interesting. He's extremely intelligent 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."

"James is level-headed and a good sport"

"I love catching James off guard."

"I love Nathan and Haley and James has just been so amazing
to work with."

-Joy

"We didn't expect James Lafferty to be the right guy for Nate because he's the nicest guy you'll ever meet in real life. Then — boom! — he turns it on and becomes this raging [jerk]"
-Chad

"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?"

"Uh no, you know, he’s a charmer, and then there’s James. The strong but silent type, you know, he’s, he’s our Cary Grant; he’s our graceful old Hollywood. "I stand around, and uh, I speak when I’m spoken to, and I treat women well." He’s just a gentleman, you know, and so you’ve got your charmer and your gentleman. What is a girl to do?"

"Watching little James Lafferty grow into a beautiful man"

"James is just the sweetest thing ever. He plays such a jerk on the show, but in real life, it's like, "Oh buddy, let's cuddle." You're just so nice."

-Hilarie

"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."
-Barbara

“He is just the sweetest kid and he’s handled all this so well, especially living on his own for the first time. He hasn’t let any of this get to him at all. I think that’s a testament to his family. He’s a real kid”
-Moira

"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."
-Lee

"The whole cast is great. James is probably one of the most grounded, down to earth actors on that show."
-Michael Trucco

"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."
-Mark

"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!"
-Paul

"James and I are very different actually. I was always the more outgoing one, but I was less stubborn which balanced things out when we're together."
-Stuart

"He’s such fun to dress. He’s really tall. Certain lines of clothing that just fit him really well, like Hugo Boss Menswear."
-Carol Cutshall (OTH's Costume Designer)

I actually met him – he’s a really good guy. I was supposed to be on the show, because his character was supposed to play basketball at Duke, but I didn’t get to do it.
-J.J Redick


"James is excellent. He’s the guy who's always interested in opening the gym, whether it's midnight or 2 a.m."
-Brendan Kirsch(who coaches the players on the show and choreographs the sports plays)






"Take a look around you and where you are in your life. Look around at the people that are doing things that are selfless and see what you can do to help them."


"I always really made a point to try to be a kid and do things that I wanted to do as well. My mom was always really concerned with that; she wanted me to grow up
like a normal kid and do the things normal kids do."


"Happiness. I don't think you can be successful if you're not happy. I'm definetly a happy person."


"everyone else was at least two or three years old than me, so I definitely knew I had a lot to learn. I have come along way though, and learned a lot from my coworkers"


"Fans absolutely love the whole relationship(NH). 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."


"Working on OTH has been an experience of a lifetime. I'll never forget the people I have met here and the impact they have had on my life. Not only have I been so fortunate professionally to work on this show, I've been extremely
fortunate to surround my self with the people that work and live here."


"Basketball's always been a part of my life, as much as acting."


"The highlight of filming over the past two seasons has definitely been the charity opportunities we've been presented with. Charity basketball games, football games and all the things we've been able to do to give back have been so much fun."


"My biggest role models have got to be my own father, and Michael Jordan. Both are great leaders and champions in their own way."


"My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if you want something, you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft, learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else, practice makes perfect."


"I always had goals as an actor and I always wanted to achieve them so that’s what I’m doing here."


Scott




I’ll never forget what it was like to be
looking DOWN at the rim for the first
time ever. The adrenaline rush, the
fear and elation that flooded my entire
body and mind has I hammered down
my first one-handed tomahawk jam.
I’ve only smiled at one
other thing like that since…..



He is photogenic






Season 1






I felt like a kid again, giddy and
excited for something that could
give me an experience like nothing
else in the sporting world. I was
hooked. And I still am.



Season 2






I've always been interested in roles
that mean something to me personally.
As long as it touches me or
inspires me and the story's
really good,
I'm into it. It doesn't matter
how big the role is or how small the role is.
If it is part of a great story, I'd love to do it.


Season 3








I would say if people wanted to learn
something from that or continue along
that same path, to take a look
around you and where
you are in your life.
