Welcome to the 200k celebration
of James Laffertyboard

"It's not an easy game. You've got to be a dreamer to do it, but you've also got to be willing to work hard. I always believed if you put the work in you'll get the benefits. This is an unstable business, also, so don't let that be the only thing you depent on. Make sure you have a fall-back. But most important, don't give up"

;The man

James Lafferty was born and raised in Hemet, California. James attended Hemet High School and played basketball for the Bulldogs, even earning the MVP award. He has been steadily working since the age of 6 when his mother encouraged him and his brother, Stuart Lafferty, to act as a hobby. At age ten, he received his first speaking part and, then later, a role on the short lived television series "Emeril" (2001) as Emeril Lagasse's son. James also made guest appearances as "Once and Again" (1999) (as Tad) and "Boston Public" (2000). He also had a role in the ESPN movie A Season on the Brink (2002) (TV), a basketball movie about the Indiana Hoosiers, where he was able to demonstrate his basketball skills. He graduated in 2003 from Hemet High and was enrolled at Cal State Long Beach before he received the role of "Nathan" on the WB Network's new series "One Tree Hill" (2003), filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina. Once in University, James plans on majoring in international studies.

"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."

James;
James Lafferty…What is better than this man. When you think how he grew up since a few years, all you can say is…WOW! I met him as Baby James and now, he is Hottie James or Sexy James working on so many projects: directing, president, acting, playing,…He has so many talent that we won’t ever get surprised that he’d start new projects. He is some of the most incredible actor that can make you laugh or cry in just a sentence or face. I’m so proud that he made his dream came true and wish him everything.

The board;
What about this board ? I just L-O-V-E it. I’m around here since a year now. I discover this board and I fell in love with the man but also the people in here. So many sweet people, helpful, nice, kind and all letting you in. I’m happy to be a part of it. I know I’m not the most eloquent on the board but I’m happy they offer me the opportunity to help out for this events. The mods have done and will do an amazing job putting in all together and make this place one of my favourite place on FF.

James;
One of the things that still amazes me about James is how humble he is till this very moment with the success of the show, the huge fandom of OTH/NH, also the success of being an actor, director, president of SportsArc and at such young age, and he is still exploring more of his talented, because lets face it, he is multi-talented for sure, he didn't become cocky or striving for attention, but still the low-key guy that enjoys his privacy while enjoying doing what he loves.
He is still young, makes mistakes, and no celeb, hell no human is perfect, and I still love him no matter what.

The board;
When you have a board with such an awesome subject, and amazing posters, what's not to love? I've met incredible people here, and had a great time discussing everything related to James. Even at the times when we have the crappiest storylines ever, we manage to make something good out of our miserable situation, LOL.
I'm so excited that we reached another major milestone. Congrats to everyone here, and thank you for making the board so special.

James;
James Lafferty is the very definition of 'tall, dark, and handsome.' What sets him apart from the typical celebrity is how humble he is, a trait truly rare in Hollywood these days. I respect how private he is and the need to not be in the spotlight all the time. His generosity is astounding, which can be seen through the basketball charities he's held almost every year for One Tree Hill. It's been an amazing journey watching him grow, and I cannot wait to see the many more opportunities he will take. I have no doubts that he will continue to go places, and we, as fans, will follow.

The board;
This board was my very first home online. This fandom can get a little crazy at times, so it's nice to have a place to go to unwind and relax. And the group of posters here are truly wondeful. Although, our love for James was what brought us together, we discovered many other things we have in common. We all developed relationships outside the fandom, whether it's through talking on the phone, texting, online chats, LJ, and Facebook. Even with we have other boards to post in or are too busy in RL, we all try our best to keep this board alive. I'm grateful to have met these amazing people.

The James Lafferty Board is a special community within Fan Forum to me because of the posters on the board as well as the subject of the board, James. The group of posters here are truly the most dedicated and loyal fans. They are not just people I post with but rather they are my friends. It also amazes me how much these posters embrace James’ talent, and how we together have built an amazing board because of our love for James. James is a truly talented young actor and a great person who deserves nothing but the best, and that is what this board provides. The best place for James and for his fans.

Congrats GGs!

[Naleylicious]

YAY! OMG, Ha text me that we were close and at that moment, I was outside the computer lab because the fire alarms went off in the main lab. LOL. But so excited I made it back soon to see this BEAUTIFUL OP!

Sally, the opening arts and words are absolutely flawless, and I adore it much. The coloring scheme is gorg as well and I love how you divided everything up. And the little side quotes are adorable as well. Also really digging the board section. It's neat to see the history of this board.

Fabulous arts too, Fra and Pratt! I adore the shots you both chose for them. Some of my favorite shots of James.

Love all the favorites that won! Fun to look at those, and remember when I first saw/watched them. Hee.

Ha! What a creative art! At first I was like "Tow, Tow?" and then I had a big OH moment. LOL. Fabulous job though, hun! Reading through those really brought the LOLs. LMFAO. Especially the sluffing is a virtue! ROTFL. So awesome hun, and I love that you incorporated the humorous side of our board into your art because that is one of the reasons why I love this board so.

Thanks so much for getting the soundtrack together, Eme! Cover looks awesome, and I can't wait to listen to it.

Great icons too, everyone! It will be hard to select which one to use because I love them all. And! I love the last animation. This board is truly the best!

[chase the memories]

^Seriously, fire alarms?! Just your luck.

And dude, you came up with the title remember? I had to include sluffing hee. For those people who don't know what TOW refers to, it's a reference to Friends. The One Where...

[Poupa]

s oh girlies, this board is awesome!

[Naleylicious]

Riiiiiiight?! I was like seriously...

I know! That's what I'm laughing now too because I remember I came up with that title. But! Just seeing it not with Friends made me forget for a moment. Incredibly creative though now that I get it!

[LittleGreyStargate]
