I can say with all honesty out of all the cast I miss Ben the most. Seth Cohen used to do it for me, but then I switched to the Atwood.

She looks like she is putting her seatbelt on...

Watch out, blonde in the passenger seat, the last time I saw Ryan Atwood drive a car, his skinny passenger wound up on the pavement.

I'm a Seth Cohen girl myself. Ryan was too broody

Aw, I stood next to him at an event during the DNC in 2004.

He is very short, but very cute.

He looks like Rudy.

Heeeeyyyy where have you been Atwood?

@cuteasabutton: Who's Ben?

@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: this is a time when google is useful.

For a second there I thought I got Rick Rolled.

@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: Benjamin McKenzie, the actor's actual name.

Always thought he was handsome...and yeah, yeah, want to smoosh Adam Brody's face in my hands and plant one on him, etc.

aaaaw I miss him :( why no lolcat tho? would be funnier.

@Chlamydiot:damn it! I wanted to make that joke!

Yeah, he's cute.

@Sukie in the Graveyard: Why would I do that when I have someone as wonderful as you to help? Google doesn't quite give that little edge of condescending I so yearn for.

@marie123: Never heard him called Ben before, thought he went by his full name. Thanks.

He's in a new movie with Al Pacino coming out soon (88 minutes, looks good), for those of you that pined for him on the OC and have been lost in his absence. Not, uh, me or anything.

Oh my stars! Ryan Atwood always brings out the fan girl in me.

@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: That's true, you can't buy our kind of love.

damn it, i miss the o.c.! ryan became my favorite character by the end of the series. he was just so freakin awesome.

so that movie 88 minutes is neither new, nor good. benjamin mackenzie has a really small part, but he still has that arrogant hostility that makes a girl sigh a little....yeah, I'd see it again.

Is that Natasha Henstridge?

he has a bouffant! Kid Chino would never agree to that.

@cuteasabutton: You just can't beat the Atwood. Esp. post-marrisa Atwood.

damn, damn. my boyfriend and i just broke up and he always reminded me of this guy. Ima go stick my head in the oven now, thanks.

oh no.....what if he hooks up with a chick like that......

Ooo, I wonder who Benny is dating these days...

I have probably mentioned this before, but he's the ex's best friend and soooo sweet but soooo socially inept.

Kinda makes me miss him.

he always looked like a younger russell crowe to me. mmm mmm good.

My mom only watched The OC for Ryan. She liked how he came off--said he was a realistic character to her. She's not a big fan of the plastic, perky, and/or zing-y. Gotta say I agree with her.

I always thought it was awesome how they set him up to be the star and the clearly superior Seth Cohen stole the show.

@Det. Philangie: Well, until, sadly, Adam Brody, god bless him, began phoning it in. But season 1 Seth Cohen, how I LOVED you!

ryan was an idiot... yet so.. soooo sexy....

Mmmmmmmm, Ryan and McCauller and Seth sammich...

-cue Homer-style drooling-

@hellodarling=texaspride.: Er, Ryan+hellodarling+Seth sammich. (I forgot I switched my own damn name. Need more coffee. And more hottie sammich)

Yeah, I cried at the finale and kept it on my tivo far longer than I ever should have.
