In fact, everything is very simple. James Lafferty's biography has one point, thanks to which millions of TV viewers around the globe know him. Simply, James plays the role of Neuton Scott in the series "Hill of a Tree" ("The School of Survival." It was thanks to the filming in nine seasons of this series that Lafferty became famous all over the world, but, initially, the biography of this guy did not begin as a young actor's story.
Once James saw himself as only a basketball player. It's probably not surprising that Lafferty was so good at the role of Nathan Scott. He perfectly understood and understands his character, his problems and throwing, his desires and disappointments.
Biography of James began in the city of Hamet, California. This guy was born on July 25, 1985. James's childhood was fun and unclouded. He was entertained with friends and brother Start, but, nevertheless, already at that time, the boy was engaged in serious matters. Since childhood, James played basketball and regularly attended training sessions, and also went on acting courses. He was engaged in acting from the age of six. And for the fact that we can now observe the game of such a beautiful actor, first and foremost, we should only thank his mother. She always wanted her sons not to hang around the streets without any work, but they were engaged in something interesting and developing. That's why she sent James and Start to study the theatrical arts. The boys liked to attend acting lessons. But at that age they treated it more as a hobby than as a profession that would become the meaning of their life. In addition, for James, at that time, the main occupation was basketball. He managed to study well at school and, at the same time, to play for the school basketball team. Smart athlete - you will agree, this is not often to be found. But James tried to do well in everything. He was just one of those people who can not lose and give up. If he takes something for something, he always brings it to the end.
As for his acting career, then, when the guy was ten years old, he got the first role in the school play. Yes, it is worth noting that in addition to playing basketball and good studies, James still managed to play on the stage of the school theater. Perhaps he did not think that this would be his main job, but in 2001 everything changed. The guy was invited to the role in the TV series Emeryl. There he was noticed and James played two more episodic roles in the films. He also played in one of the paintings, where he had to demonstrate his sports skills, which, however, for James was not a problem, but a pleasure. Well, after that, the hour of James Lafferty came. In 2003, the guy just finished school and decided to try himself on a series that was just starting to be shot. Looking for young and promising actors to perform roles in "The Hill of a Tree". When James went to the casting, he decided that he would definitely try himself in the role of Lucas Scott. It seemed to him that this character is the most suitable for him in outward appearance and in character. But it turned out that the opinion of James is radically different from the views of the producers. They were completely sure that James was not at all like Lucas Scott. Therefore, they gave the role of Luke Chad to Michael Murray. But James got the role of the second of the brothers - Nate. Initially, the character of James was quite negative. Nathon Scott is the son of the rich and influential Dan Scott, who wants Neyton to reach the top in the sport at any cost. Neyton suffers from the pressure of his father, but can not get rid of him, so he behaves like a brazen and self-assured young man. But getting to know your brother, Lucas, everything changes. Initially, the guys are at loggerheads, but after Late's best friend, Gailie, starts tutoring with Nate, he changes dramatically, realizing what true friendship and love are. Of a not too smart basketball player who is used to getting everything he wants, and he does not care about others, Neyton turns into a just, reasonable, loving and reliable young man who is ready to give up everything for the sake of his brother, beloved woman, son and real friends.
This development of the character really pleased the audience. Now Nate was loved not only for beauty and musculature, but also for his character, which with each season changed, evolved and improved. To date, began shooting the tenth season of the series "Hill of a tree." James Lafferty has already signed the contract. By the way, he refused many offers to fully dedicate himself to filming in this series. The actor believes that the "Hill of one tree" is not some kind of a soap opera in which you can play "through your sleeves". To play in this series, you need to completely devote yourself to the character, and not be torn between the shootings in different projects.
Today, James lives in Wilmington, North Carolina. In addition to filming in the series, James continues to play basketball. Fortunately, he does not have such health problems as his character. To date, James is constantly involved in various charitable games, the fees from which go to help the poor, sick and disadvantaged. In addition, James is preparing for the university. He understands that no matter how successful his path is, as an actor's way, a diploma of higher education will never become a hindrance. As for his personal life, the guy does not like to talk about her much. Most likely, at the moment he is alone, as he spends his free time with friends and his beloved dog Nino. But, perhaps, James just knows how to hide his personal life, because it's hard to believe that such a handsome and intelligent young man has not yet fallen in love with the same clever and beautiful as he is.
