Biography

Bethany Joy Lenz, a multifaceted American creative force, burst onto the scene on April 2, 1981. Her impressive repertoire of talents includes acting, singing-songwriting, and filmmaking. The world was first introduced to her remarkable abilities through her iconic portrayal of Haley James Scott in the beloved television drama One Tree Hill, which aired on The WB and The CW from 2003 to 2012.

As the curtain closed on One Tree Hill, Lenz continued to make a lasting impact on the small screen. She made numerous guest appearances on various TV shows, further cementing her status as a talented and versatile actress. Her remarkable range was also showcased in her recurring role as Debra Debrianna Morgan in season 8 of the critically acclaimed Showtime series Dexter, in addition to her stint as a series regular on the short-lived USA legal drama Pearson in 2019.

Since 2014, Lenz has become a familiar face on the Hallmark Channel, starring in an impressive nine original movies as of 2022. Her latest venture, the horror film So Cold the River, saw her take on a dual role as both actress and executive producer in 2022.
