Welcome to the 1st Austin Nichols/Hilarie Burton Appreciation Thread

QUOTES

Hilarie on Austin
"And then the talented Mr. Nichols showed up. He is the real deal guys."

“Mr. Nichols exhibits that overwhelming combination of charisma and mystery.
He is the man who has learned every crew member's name and is respected for his kindness.
He hides away on the weekends, and is a master of rumors.
He is an artist, that takes pride in exploring and exposing all the layers of his characters' personalities.
He uses pet names for women that are old-fashioned and funny.
He is someone you can talk to all day, and still be completely stumped by.”

"Mr. Nichols - I call him that because I have
the utmost respect for Mr. Austin Nichols.
To be perfectly honest, I really didn't know
if he and I were going to get along when we first
met. He was too beautiful. And beautiful men frighten me!
But Mr. Nichols is a nerdy, brainy, eccentric man in
disguise."

"...Coincidence doesn't exist
for Mr. Nichols. He is a magnet, and the earth is drawn to him..."

A smart, beautiful producer lady handed me a script > one day. Her name is Hilarie Burton. The script, > PEDESTRIAN. People hand me a lot of scripts and most of the time, they are less than extraordinary. This script was light years beyond extraordinary. After I read the opening monologue, I sent the pretty producer lady a text message. It said something like this. "WHEN DO WE START?!!!"

The pretty producer lady asked me 67 times if I was serious about doing the movie. You can't fault her for that. This business is full of fickle frauds. She just wasn't used to the chivalrous, strong, honest, straight-forward, my-word-is-stronger-than-oak, Texas gentlemanly promise that I handed her. And I understand, it's quite intimidating.

But I could never get to the casting of all these quirky and fantastic parts, because I did not have my Lincoln. And then the talented Mr. Nichols showed up. He is the real deal guys. Our characters on One Tree Hill are supposed to be exes. So before we ever shot together, we went and grabbed dinner. The first thing I realized about Mr. Nichols is that he is strange. People as good-looking as he is don't really need personalities. But like Lincoln, Mr. Nichols exhibits that overwhelming combination of charisma and mystery. He is the man who has learned every crew member's nameand is respected for his kindness. He hides away on the weekends, and is a master of rumors. He is an artist, that takes pride in exploring and exposing all the layers of his characters' personalities. He uses pet names for women that are old-fashioned and funny. He is someone you can talk to all day, and still be completely stumped by. And that is why he is Lincoln Booth.
