Earlier today, The CW announced it has picked up One árvore colina for a full season.
To many fãs of the show, this is exciting for one huge reason: mais Robert Buckley!
The former Lipstick Jungle estrela has come aboard the long-time series in the role of Clay. In an exclusive interview, he tells TV Fanatic about joining the cast, as well as not wearing a shirt...
TV Fanatic: Are you wearing a camisa right now?
Robert Buckley: Yes.
TV Fanatic: Does it ever bother you that you're almost as well known for your literal body of work as for your atuação skills?
Buckley: No, because it was never to the detriment of my performance. Going back to Lipstick Jungle, I know I received compliments on the superficial, so to speak, but it was never said in a way that implied I lacked talent as an actor.
That being said, I knew I wanted a new role that was mais than just the half-naked, cabana boy. You'll see me in a lot mais clothing on One árvore Hill.
TV Fanatic: You've come aboard a long-running show and sort of replaced one of its bigger stars, Chad Michael Murray. Have you felt any pressure in that regard?
Buckley: I never looked at it that way. The show jumped ahead 14 months, so Lucas and Peyton had a child and left; it was a natural course of events.
A lot can happen in real life in a year's time, so there's wasn't pressure to fill anyone's shoes. The storyline made sense that I wouldn't be treated as a replacement.
TV Fanatic: Did it help that you weren't the only new cast member this season? (Jana Kramer and Shantel VanSanten are also new regulars.)
Buckley: I felt self-imposed pressure because the show has been a success for six years. I felt like the new kid in school, but I buddied up quickly with Shanel. We were like the two kids not sitting at the cool mesa, tabela at lunch.
I didn't know anyone else in the cast at first, but everyone was so warm and welcoming.
TV Fanatic: How did you approach the role of a sports agent? That profession doesn't have the best reputation.
Buckley: I said right away that I had no interest in playing Clay as the stereotypical, one-note agent. Someone with no redeeming qualities gets old really fast.
To prepare, I actually watched a movie I already loved: Glengarry Glen Ross. It helped give me an idea of how to argue and how to go head-to-head against someone.
TV Fanatic: Can you give us any One árvore colina spoilers.
Buckley: We've already alluded to a mystery in Clay's past. In the first episode, he said he doesn't believe in love. That's an interesting statement. It will be explained mais over the seguinte five episodes. Viewers will find out mais about who Clay really is. Why is he in árvore colina and not Los Angeles?

I know many people including me don't know which ano or how old they are in árvore hill, but basing on 4x02 where they show Brooke's 18th birthday i might be able to make sense of it after all
If Brooke is eighteen in S4 than the time would be like this:
First season: Brooke is sixteen
segundo season: Brooke is seventeen
Third season: Brooke is seventeen
Fourth season: Brooke is eighteen
Fifth season(after a 4 ano jump): Brooke is twenty-two
Sixth season: Brooke is twenty-three
Seventh season(after a 14 months jump): Brooke is twenty-five
Eighth season: Brooke is twenty-six and in the season finale after the 1 ano time jump she is twenty-seven.
Hopefully i got it right! Oh, and it's ano 2014. I think
