Chad Michael Murray on Six-Hour Dance Lessons for ‘Merry Gentlemen,’ ‘One Tree Hill’ Revival Rumors and Facing Ageism in Hollywood


Chad Michael Murray opens up about 'Sullivan's Crossing,' dance training for 'Merry Gentlemen,' the 'One Tree Hill' rumors and more.

When Chad Michael Murray was sent the script for “ The Merry Gentlemen,” the Netflix movie about an amateur all-male musical revue that tries to save Christmas by rescuing a local diner, he gave an “immediate, terrified yes” — mostly because he hadn’t done anything that scared him in years. He first made his mark in the early 2000s, taking over The WB (and its successor, The CW) — first as slick Tristin DuGray on “Gilmore Girls,” then slimy Charlie Todd on “Dawson’s Creek,” then finally, broody Lucas Scott on “ One Tree Hill.” He held the role in the quintessential millennial teen drama for 131 episodes. The New York native was also ready to stretch new muscles as a handyman turned exotic dancer in “Merry Gentlemen.” The film, which debuts on Nov. 20 and also stars Britt Robertson as the daughter of the diner’s owners, toes the line between sweet and sexy.
