BETHANY JOY GALEOTTI as "Haley James Scott"
D.O.B.: April 2, 1981
Hometown: Bedford, Texas
Multi-talented actress and musician Bethany Joy Galeotti (newly married) plays Haley, the quintessential girl-next-door and best friend to Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray).
Galeotti began her theatre career at age 7 in Dallas, Texas, as a Munchkin in a local production of "The Wizard of Oz." She went on to play Scout in "To Kill a Mockingbird," Baby June in "Gypsy," and appeared in a long string of other Dallas theatre productions. By the time she was 13, Galeotti moved with her family to New Jersey and had begun her transition from stage to screen through a series of national commercials (Eggo Waffles, Dr. Pepper and Buick, among others) and television pilots.
In her sophomore year of high school, Galeotti's talent caught the eye of a casting director for Stephen King's feature "Thinner," and she was hired to play Linda Halleck. In March of 1998, she landed a nine-episode stint on the daytime drama "Guiding Light," as Reva Shayne's teenaged clone. Her performance as the spunky and vulnerable clone earned her raves from viewers and critics alike. In 1999, while still appearing on the show, she was cast as Rose Cronin in "Mary and Rhoda," playing the daughter of Mary Tyler Moore's character in the TV movie based on the popular 1970s TV show. After two successful years on the soap opera, Galeotti headed to the West Coast and into prime time. She booked roles on "Felicity," "Charmed," "The Guardian," the Weitz brothers comedy "Off Center," "Maybe It's Me" and the pilot "Destiny" for Jerry Bruckheimer Productions. Later that year, she starred in the comedy "Bring It On, Again," a sequel to the Universal feature "Bring It On."
Galeotti was vocally trained by the Director of The Brooklyn College of Opera. She still considers herself a "musical theatre baby" and her Los Angeles stage credits include working with director Garry Marshall and Carole King on a new musical and with director Arthur Allan Seidelman on a production of "The Outsiders."
Her hobbies include cooking, horseback riding, knitting, fashion and music.

ANTWON TANNER as "Antwon 'Skillz' Taylor"
D.O.B.: April 14, 1975
Hometown: Chicago, IL
He's had a recurring role on the CW television drama One Tree Hill as Skills, a best friend of the character Lucas Scott, played by Chad Michael Murray. This year though, we'll be seeing actor Antwon Tanner a whole lot more as he returns to the show for his fourth year, but as a series regular.
Tanner's big break came when he starred in the 1996 Steve Gomer flick, Sunset Park about a white school teacher who takes over a talented, but undisciplined black high school basketball team that he turns into a winning team. Acting opposite actress Rhea Pearlman, Tanner played team-mate "Drano." Nearly 10 years later, and at the age of 30, Tanner would once again play a teammate of an undisciplined black high school b-ball team, as "Worm" in 2005's "Coach Carter" which he co-starred with Samuel L. Jackson.
Among Tanner's acting credits, 2004's Never Die Alone and 2005's Brothers In Arms. He also had recurring guest-spot roles on 413 Hope St., Boston Public, The Parkers and Sister, Sister.
In 2003, Tanner joined the cast of One Tree Hill shown on occasion at the river-court, where he hung out and played basketball with his friends that included Lucas and Mouth, played by Lee Norris. Not until the second season did we begin to see more of "Skillz," as he was shown more as part of Lucas' older group of friends blending in with his new crowd of friends.
In the third season of One Tree Hill we got to know the character, especially when he began dating lovable but ditzy Tree Hill Ravens cheerleader Bevin Mirskey.
With a list of respectable acting credits, and a whole lot of talent it's no surprise Tanner is already taking in more roles such as this years guest star appearance on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and his new upcoming horror-flick 7eventy5ive. You can also catch him on The Uptown Movie Network co-hosting every month alongside actress, Shar Jackson as they bring you Urban Classics and recent Urban Releases as their "Movie of the Month."

He's had a recurring role on the CW television drama One Tree Hill as Skills, a best friend of the character Lucas Scott, played by Chad Michael Murray. This year though, we'll be seeing actor Antwon Tanner a whole lot more as he returns to the show for his fourth year, but as a series regular.
Tanner's big break came when he starred in the 1996 Steve Gomer flick, Sunset Park about a white school teacher who takes over a talented, but undisciplined black high school basketball team that he turns into a winning team. Acting opposite actress Rhea Pearlman, Tanner played team-mate "Drano." Nearly 10 years later, and at the age of 30, Tanner would once again play a teammate of an undisciplined black high school b-ball team, as "Worm" in 2005's "Coach Carter" which he co-starred with Samuel L. Jackson.
Among Tanner's acting credits, 2004's Never Die Alone and 2005's Brothers In Arms. He also had recurring guest-spot roles on 413 Hope St., Boston Public, The Parkers and Sister, Sister.
In 2003, Tanner joined the cast of One Tree Hill shown on occasion at the river-court, where he hung out and played basketball with his friends that included Lucas and Mouth, played by Lee Norris.
