I was born and raised in Hemet, California. I attended Hemet High School and played basketball for the Bulldogs, even earning the MVP award.I have been steadily working since the age of 6 when my mother encouraged me and my brother, Stuart Lafferty, to act as a hobby. At age ten, I received my first speaking part and, then later, a role on the short lived television series "Emeril" (2001) as Emeril Lagasse's son. I also made guest appearances as "Once and Again" (1999) (as Tad) and "Boston Public" (2000). I also had a role in the ESPN movie A Season on the Brink (2002) (TV), a basketball movie about the Indiana Hoosiers, where I was able to demonstrate my basketball skills. I graduated in 2003 from Hemet High and was enrolled at Cal State Long Beach before I received the role of "Nathan" on the WB Network's new series "One Tree Hill" (2003), filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina. Once in University, I plans on majoring in international studies
