The series "The Hill of a Tree": actors and roles

The world knows a lot of cult serials. On them grow whole generations, and their heroes become idols. It was not an exception to this rule, and released in September 2003, the American series "Hill of a tree." Actors with their brilliant game along with writers and directors have done their job, and for nine seasons people around the world, with bated breath, watched the life of the characters. The plot of the series tells of a small American town. Two guys, Lucas and Nathan, carry the same loud name in their city - Scott. Nathan lives with their common rich father Dan in a chic house, and Lucas and his mother are trying to make ends meet in order to pay bills for water and electricity. A different fate created a huge gap between the brothers, until their common love for basketball again combined them in their hometown under the name of the Hill of one tree. Actors who played a role filled with meaning, fell in love with TV viewers. Therefore, they, and their characters deserve more detailed consideration.

Lucas Scott

One of the main male roles was played by the actor Chad Michael Murray. The life of his hero, young Lucas, was to be the most usual - average parents, parties with friends on the basketball team, no worries. But his fate was changed even before his birth, when his beloved mother, who had just graduated from school, threw his lover. It would seem that history is not so rare if his father did not become one of the most influential people in the city and constantly not angered an abandoned guy's eyes. A single mother, financial difficulties and an eternal grudge against his father made him a loner. In the afternoon he likes to play basketball on the court in the park, and spend the evenings reading books.

Chad Michael Murray himself experienced his own need. When his parents divorced, the 12-year-old young man earned money as soon as he could: a janitor, a newspaper distributor. So his role as the only support of his mother, he was able to play very realistically.

Nathan Scott

James Lafferty played the brother of Lucas - Nathan. The young man grew up in a rich family that was imprinted on his character. The guy is freaky, narcissistic, self-centered and always used to get everything he wants. So did his father Dan Scott, expecting from him permanent basketball victories. Instead of intimate conversations around the fire and fishing with his father, Nathan received from Dan only constant reproaches and heard the demands that he had to meet. Outwardly it seems that only his brother Lucas is deprived of his father's love, but in fact both guys never received it.

James Lafferty himself, before he got the role of Nathan, for a long time engaged in basketball. He played in the team of the University of California and was even awarded the most valuable player's award. To take part in the shooting, he had to quit his studies and move to the town of Wilmington, where the shooting took place.

Hayley James Scott

Another owner of the loudest in the city of Scott's name was the modest girl Haley. Played her singer Bethany Joy Lenz. Haley is a good girl from a modest family. Her parents live poorly and, despite this, never allow themselves to be sad. The same view was followed and their daughter. Fate decreed rather ironically, the best friend of Lucas eventually began to wear his name, marrying his brother.

Narcissistic Nathan and high school honors Hayley seem at first sight a strange couple. But over and over again, overcoming all obstacles in their path, they will eventually prove to everyone that true family happiness exists even in such initially doomed to failure relations. It was their union that became the strongest and most revealing in the whole picture "The Hill of One Tree". The television series showed viewers how the couples break up, but Nathan and Hailey Scott were together from the very first to the last season. Bethany herself at the time of filming the third season married, but this marriage was not successful. So all that is related to her and Hayley is a passion for music.

Payton Sawyer

The great actress Hilary Burton got the role of Lucas's sweetheart, but she did not start it right away. Clever, bright, beautiful, a little sad and at the same time extremely creative Payton first met with the brother of Lucas. It was she who was the first to see in him something more than just a star of the school basketball team. But in the end, fate will bring her and Lucas, the man who is destined to make her happy.

Like most heroes, Hilary Burton is close to her heroine. She became very independent very early, just like Payton, who lost her mother early and lived alone while her father worked in the sea. When the actress moved to New York, she was able to achieve her dream and got the desired place of Vision on MTV. It is noteworthy that her heroine also worked in the music field.

Brooke Davis

Actress Sophia Bush in the series played a rather controversial role. On the one hand, she is a rich young lady who does not consider the feelings of others and has rather limited interests. On the other hand, she is an incredibly kind and sympathetic girl with a pure heart and intelligent judgments. Probably, that's why she was able to attract the mysterious Lucas.

By the way, the life of the artists who played these two roles radically changed the series "The Hill of One Tree". Actors, meeting on the set, quickly fell in love with each other and got married. But unfortunately, they divorced in the same year that they married. According to rumors, the cause of the break was the unfaithfulness of Chad.

Dan Scott

The role of the main villain of the series went to actor Paul Johansson. Dan used to be the best in everything: the star of the school basketball team, the husband of a girl from a rich family, the owner of a big house and a successful business. But to get it all, he threw his pregnant school girlfriend and this forever tarnished his reputation. For eight seasons, the hero reveals the worst. He deceives, blackmails and even kills his own brother. Having spoiled life with all his relatives, he ultimately decides to reform and return the location of his family. Paul, like his hero, grew up in the family of an athlete and from childhood was fond of sports, including basketball. Two years, he even played in the national team of Canada in basketball.

Karen Rowe

Karen, Lucas's mother, is an example of a strong and truly loving woman. Actress Moira Kelly was able to convey to the viewer the whole idea, embodied in the image of her character. Remaining with the child in her arms and without education behind her shoulders, she rises to her feet, educates Lucas with an honest and decent person. In the life of the actress there was a similar moment when she left the film industry to give more time to the upbringing of children. As a result, years later she returned and continued to build a career, as if this break was not at all. Similarly, it happened to her character.

Marvin "Maut" McFadden

Against the background of the bright characters of the series, you will not immediately notice how the life of the young man Marvin, played by Li Norris, is going on. Faithful and faithful, he always remains somewhere in the shadows. Girls perceive him only as a friend, classmates mock, even his best friend dies. But all these circumstances did not embitter Mauth, and eventually it becomes meaningful for his city under the name of Hill of a Tree. The television series shows how important it is to have a dream and go to it, it is through this at first sight unattractive hero. Mout for his ability to wait received as a result of the post of a leading news and a beautiful girl. The actor himself admitted that in his youth he really had problems with girls, but today he lives with a beautiful wife and left all past troubles in the past.

MillicentHaxtable

Lisa Goldstein in the role of assistant Brooke Davis appeared only in the fifth season of the cult series. The modest, inconspicuous and even slightly mismanaged Millicent gradually blossomed in front of the viewers under the strict guidance of Brooke. The girl had everything: mind, natural beauty, sense of humor. She lacked the certainty that, having found her, she also acquired a lover - Marvin McFadden, who at one time, like herself, suffered from the fact that everyone around him considered him a failure. The actress, just like Sophia Bush, became the one to whom the family's happiness was awarded the telephoto "Hill of a Tree". The actors met on the set. Brendan Kirsch played only a few episodic roles, but they were enough for Lisa to notice him. Now they live in a happy union and raise a child.

That's how for several years of its existence the youth series has changed the destinies of people. The actors fell in love, met and got married, the audience learned from the mistakes of the heroes. The cult series will remain in people's memory for a long time.
