Through his many different hair styles, and extremely catchy name – I am and have been the fan girl over Chad Michael Murray ever since I can remember. Whether he's singing 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' in Freaky Friday, or proclaiming his love to Hilary Duff in 'A Cinderella Story' he is constantly making us fall in love with him. Here are 11 ways Chad Michael Murray has made us fall in love with his characters throughout the years.
1. His portrayal of Lucas Scott in 'One Tree Hill'.
I mean come on, his speeches in the rain, and "it's you" moments are what made him such a lovable main character. Not to mention his friendship with Haley, and relationship with his mom Karen. One Tree Hill will always be considered my favorite show thanks to Chad Michael Murray.
2. Austin Ames, need I say more?
Oh, where do I even begin, I mean look at them. This movie will always be a rom-com favorite. Yes, we all know he didn't recognize her without that damn mask on, but come on you know that every time you see that this movie is on you have to watch it.
3. Woah, throwback. If you're a hardcore Gilmore Girls fan like myself, you can't forget seeing a young Chad Michael Murray playing Tristan Dugray.
His character was a bit much at times, but love or hate his character you couldn't stop watching as he tried to pursue Rory time and time again.
4. Before 'One Tree Hill' there was 'Dawson's Creek' and there was a Chad Michael Murray's character trying to make out with Katie Holmes character.
As Charlie Todd, his singing might not have won over Joey, but he definitely won over the fans.
5. Hello, Jack Thompson.
Marvel, the 1940's, and Chad Michael Murray. What other reasons do you need?
6. Brad Radwell in the Scream Queens Thanksgiving episode is a do not miss.
Chad playing the brother of the hilarious character Chad Radwell? Amazing.
7. I totally loved the House of Wax remake.
Chad Michael Murray's brooding, bad boy character kicked some serious butt in this horror remake. If I was ever being attacked by psychopaths I would want Chad Michael Murray there to protect me.
8. Home of the Brave
He showed us how to protect and serves as soldier, Jordan Owens in 'Home of the Brave'.
9. To Write Love on Her Arms
A true story with a great message. Chad Michael Murray's character is based off of real life founder of TWLOHA Jamie Tworkowski. It's an inspiring movie of how the to write love on her arms movement began.
10. All I want for Christmas is Chad Michael Murray.
'Christmas Cupid' was an original 25 Days of Christmas ABC Family movie where Chad Michael Murray played the love interest of a workaholic, as a doctor. A doctor people; we need to get this man on 'Grey's Anatomy' that's for sure.
11. And last, but not least the long-haired Chad Michael Murray in 'Freaky Friday'.
Every time I hear 'Hit Me Baby One More Time', I instantly think of the scene in 'Freaky Friday' when he is serenading Lindsey Lohan, and then she tackles him to the ground. Classic.
