Chad Michael Murray, One Tree Heel?
Before starring on One Tree Hill, Chad Michael Murray had an arc on Dawson’s Creek playing Charlie, a love interest for Jen and Joey.
But while Charlie got around, Murray didn’t seem to make a lot of friends during his first stint in North Carolinav (OTH later filmed there).
During a Paley panel in 2009, Philipps called him “a douche,” later saying, “Don’t worry. I’m not real worried about burning bridges with CMM.”
Van Der Beek added, “He’s actually come a long way.” Post-event, Philipps tweeted, “Just finished the dawson’s creek panel. Maybe I was too harsh on chadM2… Nah.”
Murray, meanwhile, hasn’t stirred the pot, saying in 2015 that he learned a lot from the experience.
“I had the opportunity to learn from people who had been doing it for a couple of years longer than I was when I walked into the Dawson’s cast,” he told Cosmpolitan.com in 2015. “You know, Michelle and James and Katie and Josh—they really kind of guided me, because they’d already been around for five, six years, maybe longer. And if they had the time, they were showing me the ropes. I had no idea what lighting was, I had no idea about a lot of the technical aspects of what we do, and so I’m grateful for that experience.”
