BIOGRAPHY

Until 1999, Chad lived in Buffalo, New York, where he was also born on the 24th of August, 1981. Chad Michael Murray found an audience at a young stage. When he had been only about 4 or 5 years old , the young actor performed in front of his family throughout skits, and used his voice to entertain them with his own songs. 

He relocated to Los Angeles after graduating high school. With a big interest in football during high school, he played the sport in sophomore year until an injury kept him out of school for four months. He was planning on pursuing a football career in college until realising that acting was his dream, and then deciding to pursue a career in acting. 

He began with several guest star appearances, including one as a teen murder suspect on the suspense series, Diagnosis Murder. And then finally, he got the call he'd been praying for. He scored the role of Tristan Dugrey, on the WB series, Gilmore Girls, who he is commonly recognised for.

With a past occupation as a model, Murray stands at six foot, and comes from a family of 5 boys and one girl. With former modeling contracts with Sketchers, Tommy Hilfiger and Gucci, Murray is in admiration of fellow actors Ed Norton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Pacino and Robert DiNiro. Although having an obvious talent in acting, Chad is as fit as they come. He keeps himself in shape by working out at the gym, inline skating, playing soccer, volleyball and basketball, in addition to football pick-up games.

Chad Michael Murray is absolutely against the idea of drugs, and for this reason you may find him completely active at drug functions for children and teens. Besides the fact that he misses his family a lot, he does in fact own his own home, while also living with his dog named Gus, and a cat named Jack.

Apart from his role on Diagnosis Murder, a big credit to add to his name is his role in Dawson's Creek in 2001. Although; his role as irritating, yet sensitive, Tristan on Gilmore Girls have made audiences sit up and admire this young man's talent for acting.
