If there is one thing that I know about myself, it is that One Tree Hill had a prolific effect on my life, and still does until this day.
Right now, I need to do my 12th rewatch of the series, and watch it along with Drama Queens OTH, which is the podcast Hilarie Burton-Morgan, Bethany Joy Lenz, and Sophia Bush headline. The three stars are rewatching One Tree Hill and telling us all about the show that we love so much.
During the podcast, Hilarie said that her husband, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, revealed that he had auditioned for one of the lead roles in the show.
After being set up on a date – which is how they met – Jeffrey told his future wife that he had auditioned for the role of Uncle Keith, a role that was filled by Craig Sheffer. I will be honest, I can’t see anyone else as Keith Scott, but it is always fun to know who auditioned.
“When I met Jeff, he was like, ‘Oh, I auditioned for that show.’ I’m like, ‘Wait, what?’ My husband, Jeffrey, auditioned for [Craig] Sheffer‘s part,” Hilarie said on the podcast.
“He was like, ‘Yeah, you know, I liked the whole gritty garage guy, that edgy thing.’” she continued.
It’s like a missed connection, but it all worked out in the end. Hilarie and Jeff make an adorable couple, so we’re glad that it worked out.
Have you listened to the Drama Queens podcast? What are your thoughts?
OMG! Right! I love them together too… I wonder if they would have met there if they would’ve had the same chemistry tho!
