One Tree Hill - Casting News Posted by DarkUFO at Thursday, July 31, 2008 (View Comments) Labels: One Tree Hill

Thanks to Dennis for the heads up.

Remember that mystery man that Mia told Peyton (Hilarie Burton) she had met in the One Tree Hill season finale? You know, the guy who knew Peyton's biological mother back in the day? The dude we were led to believe might be Peyton's real pops? No? Me neither. But listen up anyway, 'cause this is about to get interesting. I think.

Actor-musician John Doe (Roswell, seminal L.A. punk band X) is joining the One Tree Hill cast this season as said mystery man, sources confirm to me exclusively.

One of those sources, OTH executive producer Mark Schwahn, says the identity of Doe's character (who, ironically, is a John Doe himself) will remain a mystery… for a little while. "Whether or not he's [Peyton's] father will be the question," Schwahn explains. "[But] we will find out one way or the other."

See, told you it'd get interesting. It did, right?
