Sophia Bush as Brooke Davis

Born on July 8, 1982 and raised in Pasadena, California as an only child of Charles William Bush and his wife Maureen, Sophia Anna Bush was educated at Westridge School for Girls and University of Southern California. Her father is one of the top advertising and celebrity photographers in the United States and her mother is a photography studio manager.

Bush began acting when she was in high school, since it was a requirement for the students. She was initially irritated at the fact that they had to do stage productions, but later fell in love with acting. In 2000, she was crowned the Pasadena Rose Queen and moved on to attend college. Two years later, she was cast for the role of Sally in the film Van Wilder, consequently appearing in HBO's Point of Origin and the independent feature film, Learning Curves.

Bush also had guest appearances on Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Nip/Tuck , which led her to land a role in the teen drama, One Tree Hill. As she was working on One Tree Hill, she also landed various projects on films such as Supercross, Stay Alive, John Tucker Must Die and The Hitcher.

UGO.com talked to Bush about her work on the film The Hitcher, and she said, "I think we just wanted to make something that fans of the original would really enjoy, and we paid homage to the original movie. But I think we definitely made enough twists and took enough liberties making certain things more realistic and a little more time sensitive for what is appropriate today. People who love the first one can still be surprised watching our version and still have that nostalgia of the first movie they enjoyed so much."

In April 2005, Bush married One Tree Hill co-star Chad Michael Murray but Bush filed for annulment after six months.

Sophia Bush currently lives in Wilmington, North Carolina (where she is One Tree Hill is filmed) with co-star Bevin Prince (who plays Bevin Mirskey in the series).

"To be happy, it first takes being comfortable being in your own shoes. The rest can work up from there."

"I don’t care what the press is about a person that I’m working with. I care about how they come to work every day. I don’t care who broke up with who or who is sleeping with who or who went out where. I don’t care what you do with your personal life. It’s when people take their personal lives into a space where it affects their performance at work, that’s when I would stop taking someone seriously."

"What I think makes it difficult to not be taken seriously is falling on your face drunk all the time or running around without your underwear on. It’s not that difficult to get dressed, and it’s not that difficult to keep yourself under a level of control."

"I think the sexiest thing on anybody is intelligence. I respect somebody who has a brain and wants to use it more than a pretty face and status."

"I think it's easy for people to assume that fame is equal to glory, but it can be a very isolating experience..."

"Fashion is in my blood. Growing up, I was always clacking around the house in my mother's shoes."

"I’m a bit of a worrier, to an extreme. I’ll crack a joke, then worry if I’ve offended someone—even when they’re laughing. I have a guilt complex, always worrying."

"I'd rather hang out with five people that I love than with 400 strangers at a club who are all doing the up-and-down inspection thing. They appraise everybody from head to toe - the outfit, the handbag, the shoes, how much they weigh...I can't stand it!"

"Life is too short, and I'm Italian. I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0."

"People care about my personal life. But really I'm dorky! I drink beer and go to football games. And ya know, sit in my house in a t-shirt on the weekends and play with my dog!"

"Life throws some curveballs at you and you go where it takes you."

"I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know, I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place."

"I wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid, but I started doing theater in high school because it was a requirement. At first, I was completely irritated. You know, at the time I was playing volleyball, and I just thought it was a major inconvenience. But I ended up loving it. I made a decision to follow through with it because I never enjoyed anything as much as being up onstage and being someone else. So I decided to pursue it, and voila!"

"I'm not much of a revenge person, because I think when you start with revenge it cheapens what you've been through. My rule is to hold your head high and never stop looking that person in the eye, because they know and you know, and you're still the professional. And they can just feel like an ass for the rest of their lives. That's my favorite thing to do."

"I have walked away from friendships when I've realized that someone smiles to someone's face and talks about them the minute they walk out of a room. I have no room in my life for that kind of negative energy anymore."
