1-MINUTE RESUME FOR ADAM BRODY
While employed at Blockbuster Video, future
O.C.
heartthrob Adam Brody looked at his friend and said, "Have you ever
thought about acting? I mean, we're not actually doing anything." He
moved to L.A., got an agent and went from parking cars at a Beverly
Hills hotel to landing TV roles in
Growing Up Brady and
Gilmore Girls. While playing the nerdy, lovable Seth Cohen on the Orange County-based teen dramedy
The O.C., Brody landed memorable supporting roles in
Mr. & Mrs. Smith and
Thank You for Smoking, moving up to star parts with
In the Land of Women, opposite Meg Ryan.
5 Things:
1. He initially read for the role of Ryan on The O.C. but eventually played Seth.
2. Growing up, his only ambition was to own a surf shop one day.
3. His mother is a graphic artist, and his father is a lawyer.
4. He dated his O.C. co-star Rachel Bilson.
5. He loves indie rock bands like The Shins and Death Cab for Cutie; he is a drummer in the band, Big Japan.
Quote:
"Girls always want a hug, and I'm not a very huggy person. I'll be
standing at the Grove [a local mall], and there will be an assembly
line of girls who all want an embrace, like I'm Santa."
