1. The first actor who was cast for the series was Peter Gallagher as Sandy Cohen.

2. Chad Michael Murray turned down the show in order to appear in One Tree Hill!
3. For the role of Marissa Cooper both Marissa Barton and Olivia Wilde were fit but Barton got the role as “Marissa was obviously a character who Ryan needs to save, and Olivia Wilde needs no saving,” Schwartz said at the ATX TV Festival in 2016. “She’s pretty tough.”
4. Schwartz did not want to cast Seth Cohen initially. He stated “With Seth, we saw a lot of kids. And Adam, when he first came in…he didn’t bother to learn basically any of the lines for his audition scene.” “I was even like, ‘What scene is he doing; is this from our show? What is he doing? I hate this kid; get him out of here.’ And then we couldn’t find Seth and our casting director, Patrick Rush, was like, ‘We should bring back Adam Brody. I’m telling you, there’s something special about that kid.’ He came back in and did a really great job.”
