Lucas Scott(One Tree Hill) was played by Chad Michael Murry who felt a connection with the character, what was what the producers planned.
The producers were originally unsure as to who Murray would play. Series creator Mark Schwahn wanted him to play the character of Nathan Scott since Murray had played a bad guy several times before, and he felt it was only natural to give him this role. Murray's passion for the role led the producers to cast him as Lucas.
