Why did Chad Michael Murray turn down “The O.C.” Ryan Atwood role, and instead went on OTH as Lucas Scott? ?

I’m happy that he did, what he did. What do you guys think? Would he have been better on the OC or OTH?

He turned down the OC because he didnt like the character as much.

I think he made the right choice. I mean look at it, OTH is on its 6th season and the OC only made it what 3 seasons?

I think he does great on OTH, it shows how broad his acting skills are. Because he could have went on to the OC and played some preppy jerk that had no substance, like he played in Gilmore Girls. Or he could play Lucas like he decided and have more of a substance and background to him.
