"James is awesome. He's so laid-back and really interesting. He's extremely intelligent but a lot of times you'd never know because he's so quiet, which I think is awesome. He never feels like he has to prove himself to anybody and I really appreciate that about him."

"James is level-headed and a good sport"
-Joy

"We didn't expect James Lafferty to be the right guy for Nate because he's the nicest guy you'll ever meet in real life. Then — boom! — he turns it on and becomes this raging [jerk]"
-Chad

"People think James is shy, but James Lafferty is a gentleman. He doesn't need to draw attention to himself, and he doesn't feel the need to prove anything to anybody. I really appreciate that. James Lafferty is going big, big places. He's a very talented man. I just wish he were older. See! I have a crush on James, but who doesn't?"

"Uh no, you know, he’s a charmer, and then there’s James. The strong but silent type, you know, he’s, he’s our Cary Grant; he’s our graceful old Hollywood. "I stand around, and uh, I speak when I’m spoken to, and I treat women well." He’s just a gentleman, you know, and so you’ve got your charmer and your gentleman. What is a girl to do?"

"Watching little James Lafferty grow into a beautiful man..."

"James is just the sweetest thing ever. He plays such a jerk on the show, but in real life, it's like, "Oh buddy, let's cuddle." You're just so nice."
-Hilarie

"James is the sweetest guy you'd ever meet."
-Sophia

"Oh, they're just wonderful guys. They're so different and lovable in different ways. They're just great, great guys, I love working with them. James is such a professional; he always comes to work extremely prepared and ready to work. He takes his work quite seriously, but doesn't take himself seriously, he's just a lovely kid."
-Barbara

"A few of you have asked me specifically about James. Simply put, he's a great guy. We have been good friends ever since we filmed the pilot together, and I really respect his talent as an actor and an athlete. More importantly, I respect the fact that he is practically unaffected by fame. He is very much the same guy that I first met a couple of years ago, and that says so much about the kind of quality person that he is."
-Lee

"The whole cast is great. James is probably one of the most grounded, down to earth actors on that show."
-Michael Trucco

"James is a sweet kid." "James has had a problem with emotion in the past... (now) he was so good with emotion. He has come so far. I love James so much for being able to go now to that emotional place."
-Mark

"James has come so far. When he started the show, I guess he was, gosh he was 18. And he was a lot more gangly but he's been in the gym everyday drinking protein shakes and lifting. He's BUFF! He terrifies me... I won't even call him names anymore cause he'll slap me. He's going to be a leading man in Hollywood. And I just hope he throws his old friend PJ a job now and then. But if he doesn't that's fine I can still beat him at one on one!"
-Paul

"James and I are very different actually. I was always the more outgoing one, but I was less stubborn which balanced things out when we're together."
-Stuart

"He’s such fun to dress. He’s really tall. Certain lines of clothing that just fit him really well, like Hugo Boss Menswear."
- Carol Cutshall (OTH's Costume Designer)

"James is excellent. He’s the guy who's always interested in opening the gym, whether it's midnight or 2 a.m."
-Brendan Kirsch(who coaches the players on the show and choreographs the sports plays)
