Blonde hunk Chad Michael Murray played heartthrob Lucas, so it's unsurprising his career trajectory found him frequently playing the brooding hot guy in the likes of "Freaky Friday," opposite Lindsay Lohan, "A Cinderella Story," opposite Hilary Duff, and even horror remake "House of Wax," opposite Elisha Cuthbert (and one Paris Hilton).
The year 2019 saw Murray returning to his soapy roots, and the CW, in a big way as a new cast member on mega-hit "Riverdale." Playing sexy cult leader Edgar Evernever was a dream come true for Murray, who told Vanity Fair, "As an actor, it's kind of on that list of things like, 'You want to play a cult leader?' The answer is always yes."
The actor, who's also appeared in "Agent Carter," "Sun Records," and "Star," described returning to the teen pantheon as "trippy," but he relished the opportunity to branch out a little bit, as, "Lucas was very much the moral compass of 'One Tree Hill,' and there [was] really no opportunity for me to step outside those boundaries."
Notably, Murray is married to actress Sarah Roemer and has two kids (via People).
