“One Tree Hill” actor Paul Teal died on November 15 at the age of 35 after his battle with pancreatic cancer. Her fiancé Emilia Torello announced the heartbreaking news in an Instagram post, prompting an outpouring of condolences from her fellow actors.
“Sending love and prayers to Paul’s family and friends,” Jana Kramer wrote in her Instagram story under a shared photo. She played his girlfriend Alex in the series. «I had the absolute pleasure of working with him on season seven of OTH. He was always so nice and fun to work with.” The actress also asked “One Tree Hill” fans to support Teal’s family and said: “Pray for her family and friends please.”
Sophia Bush is “extremely sad”
Sophia Bush, who played high school student Brooke Davis, expressed her heartfelt condolences on social media and paid tribute to her late co-star. “Very sad to hear of Paul Teal’s passing,” she wrote on her Instagram Story on November 18. About her “Drama Queens” podcast with her “One Tree Hill” co-stars Hilarie Burton Morgan (42) and Bethany Joy Lenz (43), she said: “We’re just starting to stream her OTH episodes on @dramaqueensoth to watch and he’s so talented.”
A longer statement from Bethany Joy Lenz
Bethany Joy Lenz, who played Haley James Scott in the series, published a lengthy obituary on November 17 in which she emphasized that she was ”devastated” by the loss. «My heart is heavy. Paul Teal was the man who lit up a room with ease. His bright smile, infectious laugh and kind heart made you want to be close to him.” Before the series, she worked with him ”closely for months” on a musical production. “He was shy and funny and it felt so comfortable on stage. Like a second skin. You couldn’t take your eyes off it.”
On “One Tree Hill” he was the perfect choice for the role of the sleazy movie star. «With his humble sense of humor and his willingness to fully empathize with each character, Paul was perfect for the role. He was a joy to work with in any setting and so generous.” She wished she had been in touch with him more after that. “I wish I had called all the time I meant to but I got lost. Life is short. I keep thinking that this week. Life is short.”
The series ”One Tree Hill” ran for nine seasons starting in 2003. Paul Teal made his first appearance as an actor in a television production there. He was also seen in two episodes of “Outer Banks” in 2021 and was Deputy Clark in the film “Deep Water” (2022) with Ben Affleck (52). He was also a talented stage actor. In 2018 he received the Wilmington Theater Award for Best Supporting Actor.
