Zap2it: ‘One Tree Hill’s’ Austin Nichols steps behind the camera for a walk down memory lane

---


Austin Nichols has played film director Julian Baker on “One Tree Hill” since 2008, but it wasn’t until this year that he took his own turn behind the camera, directing tonight’s episode, “Quiet Little Voices.”

When we last saw the “One Tree Hill” gang, they were happily awaiting the arrival of two babies — Haley and Nathan’s second child and Brooke and Julian’s first. We’ll catch up to them in the hospital on a night ridden with anxiety… and memories.

“I think the birth of a child or children is a great opportunity, because it’s a reminder of what’s good in your world and what’s important,” says executive producer Mark Schwahn. “We didn’t want to just do a clip show. We didn’t want to just look back to look back. The flashbacks are a great little trip down memory lane, but they’re also advancing our story.”

Nichols admits that when he first got the script for his directorial debut, he was wary. “To be honest with you, I was a little disappointed,” he tells Zap2it. “They call it a ‘clip show’ — where you flash back to various moments in the series — and I was kind of disappointed that I wouldn’t get to direct an entire episode. The episode ended up being a lot more than a clip show, though.”
