Biography

BENJAMIN McKENZIE (Ryan Atwood on THE O.C.)

Hard to believe this is Benjamin McKenzie's first starring role!

As Ryan Atwood, the neglected, filled with angst kid from Chino escaping a violent stepfather and a drunken mother, he is adopted by the Cohen's and moves into an affluent neighborhood in the O.C. Instantly befriended by Seth Cohen, his adopted brother, he suffers through adjusting to this new “rich” life and dealing with the “rich kids”. An on-again off-again relationship with Marissa brings out his tendency to settle any problems with his fists.

Ben on the other hand was born and raised in Texas, attended Austin High and graduated from the University of Virginia (like his father and grandfather before him) where he majored in Foreign Affairs and Economics. The oldest of three sons to poet-writer, Frances and attorney Pete Schenkkan, Ben moved to New York City after graduation and three weeks before 9/11 to pursue his passion for acting. He appeared off-Broadway in "Life is a Dream" at the Soho Rep. He also appeared in numerous productions at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, including "Street Scene" and "The Blue Bird," and at the University of Virginia, in "Measure for Measure" and "Zoo Story".
He eventually moved to L.A. where he bunked down on a friend's sofa and got a couple of bit parts in JAG and The District before landing the role of Ryan Atwood in the O.C. almost exactly one year after moving to L.A.

Has anyone seen or heard anything yet? JGHG was supposed to premiere in Washington DC on 6/30. I haven't seen anything yet.

firefawn
07-01-2008, 07:51 AM
I haven't seen anything yet, Kris. I've looked around a few sites but nothing so far, nor anything on the film's official site.

Maybe they just kept it really low-key. But I would think that there will be some info out there at some point soon. I hope so, anyway.

krisz
07-01-2008, 08:56 AM
I was looking too Cal and I didn't see anything. I was hoping we would find something this morning about it.

firefawn
07-01-2008, 11:01 AM
I would have thought stuff would have emerged by now. There's still no update about it on the website, just the initial announcement about the event.

Maybe it didn't happen for some reason, because usually when Ben goes to Washington for political reasons, there are pictures. We had loads when he went with Ryan Gosling for Invisible Children.

krisz
07-01-2008, 11:48 AM
I thought so too. I havent' seen anything yet either and I keep checking as well. I am really surprised.

firefawn
07-01-2008, 02:11 PM
I still haven't found anything. Still no updates on the JGHG website and nothing new on the website of Peace & Security Initiative that was supposed to be involved in the screening either. This is really strange. It's going to be quite a difficult film to promote anyway, so I would have thought that TPTB would be going all out to talk about how the screening was received.

Aww k well this officially SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing yet?? Very strange.

firefawn

It is really really strange. You'd have thought something would have been mentioned somewhere by now.

krisz
07-02-2008, 01:00 PM
Do you think it was postponed or something since there is no new information out?

ryan-marissa<3
07-02-2008, 02:49 PM
Maybe idk but it sucks HARDCORE!!! :(

firefawn
07-03-2008, 04:22 AM
Do you think it was postponed or something since there is no new information out?

That's the only explanation I can think of. There's still nothing on the official site and you'd think they'd update about how the screening was received.

krisz
07-03-2008, 06:20 AM

It's all extremely weird - and not in a good way at all.

BTW, this link was posted on Ben's board at FF. There are pics of Ben as Johnny but also what looks like flyers for earlier stage productions and it appears the site is some kind of booking agency. I wonder if Ben and TPTB are going to take it out on the road as a stage play as well as the film.

The first pic is one of my favourites. That's a really good photoshoot.

All the pics are cute, but I do tend to prefer anything from the S4 era or more recent because of how good his hair looks these days.

krisz
07-06-2008, 03:30 PM
I agree. I prefer his S4 hair and present day look much more.

firefawn
07-06-2008, 05:12 PM
He's looked amazing since he got his hair cut really short just after they finished filming S3. He hasn't really had a bad hair day since then IMO.

S4 hair was perfect because Ben looked so manly - and totally comfortable with how he looked.

ryan-marissa<3
07-06-2008, 08:51 PM
I completely agree haha thats why i keep posting them! :lol:
It's the ones that draw me in all the tiiiiiiiiime! ;)

Those S3 promo pics are gorgeous. Blue is totally his colour. It's a pity they started interfering with his hair again towards the end of the season.

That's true. It brings out the shape of his face and his strong jawline. If his hair's too long, or the wrong sort of cut, you lose all that.

It is a huge difference, especially as it's only about 3 or 4 years between the pics. I don't think any of the rest of the cast have changed so much in so little time.

Ben really seems to have matured so much, both physically and in how he presents himself to the camera at public engagements. It's amazing what a good haircut and a bit of confidence can do!

krisz
07-07-2008, 12:49 PM
Good points. He really did mature a lot over the 4 years.

Thanks for the info Cal. I will buy 88 Minutes when it comes out. I enjoyed the movie.

firefawn
07-08-2008, 07:46 AM
I've only seen the clips of Ben's part, but I'll probably buy it when it comes out on DVD here. I think there are supposed to be extras on the DVD with a Ben interview.

Also, I saw a short (positive!) review from a poster at Ben's IMDB board of the JGHG screening, so it did actually happen. But there wasn't any mention of Ben being there.

I'm quite surprised there hasn't been anything *official* said about it.

krisz
07-08-2008, 08:09 AM
I enjoyed the movie. I like Al Pacino also. It was very suspenseful. I actually would have still liked it without Ben in it. Looking forward to the interview.

Hmm. I am wondering why nothing else was reported. I am surprised Ben wasn't there for it.

firefawn
07-08-2008, 01:04 PM
I suppose we can all cross our fingers and hope that maybe he couldn't make it because he is working.

I couldn't see him not being there for any other reason because he seems really proud of this project.

Of course he may have been there and the poster just didn't see him. But I think there was supposed to be a Q&A after the screening, so I am sure he would have participated in that if he'd been there.

krisz
07-08-2008, 01:25 PM
Yeah, I can't see him missing it at all especially since there was a Q&A. That would be great if he missed it b/c he was working.

I am glad it is receiving so many positive remarks!

ryan-marissa<3
07-08-2008, 01:25 PM

firefawn
07-08-2008, 03:21 PM
Even if it doesn't get a wide theatrical release, I think the DVD is supposed to be out by the end of the year.

I hope Ben does some extras on it.

ryan-marissa<3
07-08-2008, 05:40 PM
Me too! It's like a good indie flick! Hopefully it does go out into some theatres for a limited release so some critics can view it even more so & ben can get even more recognition you know! :)

firefawn
07-09-2008, 04:02 AM
Yeah, I'm going to be really interested to see what the regular film critics say about the film and Ben's performance, because those are the ones that are going to have the most impact. I think this screening was held for some kind of peace organisation, so the positive comments on the content of the film are kind of what you'd expect them to be, even though they are good news for Ben.

krisz
07-09-2008, 07:20 AM
Hopefully the regular film critics will have the same kind of positive reviews as it has received already.

firefawn
07-09-2008, 07:34 AM
I hope so. It looks like the producers are also going to use the film for educational and/or political purposes, but I hope it gets a wider audience. Ben deserves it. It's a huge challenge to come off a teen show straight into something like this, and the response so far shows that he's got the talent to do pretty much anything.

ryan-marissa<3
07-10-2008, 03:27 PM
I completely agree! He's just choosing to use it for the right roles he feels personally will help impact today's world & youth! That's good haha i now understand him!:lol: ;)

Since i really need my bennyfix alot lately im going to watch Some S3 - no matter how much i HAAATE it. Ben is the only good part about it. ;) Johnny can go die.

I forgot that. It didn't really appear enough to make it memorable though.

S4 is when it really came into its own. I loved the El Pavo Guapo scenes because he'd usually be wearing it.

Ben looks amazing in black.

I'm glad they finally gave up on trying to make him look younger with dodgy haircuts and too much make-up and just let Ben's natural hotness shine through. The short hair and slightly unshaven look worked really well together.

krisz
07-14-2008, 06:27 AM
ITA Cal!! I am so glad they gave it up for S4. He looked so much better. Love him with the unshaven look and short hair.

Great cap!

firefawn
07-14-2008, 07:12 AM
I remember when S4 started, on the various message boards there were loads of people saying that they'd only just started to appreciate Ben's hotness because he looked so good compared with before.

No wonder Autumn thought he was manly :)

krisz
07-14-2008, 07:51 AM
What a great word to describe him! Manly.

I don't think I really realized how hot he was until S4. I liked him before...but I really didn't like the crappy hair in S2. I liked him in S1 and S3 but S4 was so different and so much better!!

firefawn
07-14-2008, 08:59 AM
My favourite Ben looks are definitely S4, S3, S1 and S2 in that order. S4 was the only consistent season where his hair was awesome throughout. There were some dodgy moments in S1 and the end of S3. Looking back, I'm liking the S1 look less and less because he looks so young there, and I much prefer Ben looking his age :)

krisz
07-14-2008, 09:22 AM
I think that if there was a S5....they would have kept his hair similar to the S4 look.

firefawn
07-14-2008, 10:01 AM
Yes, I think so too. Ben seemed very comfortable with that look, evidenced by the fact that he's kept that hairstyle for a good couple of years now.

I hope that when they finally get round to filming Stanford, they don't make him grow it out into something dodgy and 70s.

krisz
07-14-2008, 11:35 AM
OMG!! That would be terrible. I can't even imagine what that would look like. He does have nice hair, but I wouldn't want to see it that long.

I am glad he keeps it that way too. :)

firefawn
07-14-2008, 01:22 PM
OMG!! That would be terrible. I can't even imagine what that would look like. He does have nice hair, but I wouldn't want to see it that long.

Just looking at the opening page of the website about the original experiment is what's worrying me. There are a couple of really frightening hairstyles on there :eek:

http://www.prisonexp.org/

If he has to have an awful haircut please let it be a wig! Didn't we suffer enough in S2? :shrugs:

krisz
07-14-2008, 02:08 PM
OMG! Yeah, when you made that comment that was the hair style I was thinking too. Ben...go for the wig!

LMAO...yeah, we did suffer enough through S2 with that hair.

firefawn
07-14-2008, 02:41 PM
I just can't see him with 70s hair, I'm afraid.

With his stocky build and his strong features, I've got the feeling that with long hair, huge sideburns and the possibility of another moustache, it could get really freaky.

I always dread Ben getting a part where he has to look peculiar. Yes, I'm shallow :)

krisz
07-14-2008, 03:02 PM
I am right there with you. Yeah, you are right thoough...they probably will make him do the side burns too. I was not a fan of his mustache. As Taylor said "it was an above the lip disaster." I like the unshaven look, but not the mustache.

firefawn
07-14-2008, 03:53 PM
LOL. The moustache reference was a definite shout-out to Junebug and Ben's weedy little 'tache!

If he needs a moustache for Stanford and can't grow an adequate one, I hope they don't give him a big, thick, fake one like a porn star or something.

Suddenly my enthusiasm for this movie is starting to fade a bit! :lol:

krisz
07-15-2008, 06:31 AM
LMAO! Poor Ben...he can only do parts that he doesn't have to alter his hair or grow excess facial hair.

I hope he gets some more work soon and we get some new pics and info on him.

firefawn
07-15-2008, 06:44 AM
Haha, that sounds about right! I don't care how obnoxious the character is that he plays, just so long as he looks good while doing it!

It's just bizarre to me that everyone else from the cast, including the guest stars like Cam G and Olivia W are all doing pretty well - and Ben's doing so little. I'm really glad for everyone, but sad that we see so little of Ben.

I hope it really is down to his own career planning and desires, and not because he's struggling. He is far too talented to struggle and not be recognised for his abilities. I so hope Johnny will be a huge breakthrough for him.

do we know when this movie will be ready?

Johnny is supposed to be out in September, and as far as I know they haven't even started filming Stanford yet because the director is still busy on another film.

krisz
07-16-2008, 07:00 AM
I don't get it either. I saw Cam G and Nikki Reed getting more work too. Autumn has a bunch of stuff going on now too. What about Ben though? He did an amazing job with his role and I am hoping he has some stuff going on and we hear about it soon. It is sad though he hasn't had a lot more going on.

firefawn
07-16-2008, 08:38 AM
I remember him saying ages ago that he also was interested in working behind the scenes, so maybe he's writing or producing stuff and it just hasn't had any publicity.

krisz
07-16-2008, 10:47 AM
That would be good for him, bad for us though b/c we will not be able to see him.

firefawn
07-16-2008, 12:47 PM
We don't see that much of him anyway though, do we?

He is so private and I think he just likes to keep it that way and lead as much of a normal life as he can. I suppose it might be because he had a completely ordinary life until he was in his early 20s and decided to try acting. He wasn't one of those kids who had always wanted to act from an early age, so I guess his perspective is a little different to that of a lot of Hollywood types. Plus, he's intelligent and well-educated, so he knows he has the capability of changing his career at any time. I do think it's funny how his mum is still bugging him to go to law school :)

daves angel
07-16-2008, 06:23 PM

krisz
07-16-2008, 08:18 PM
Cal I agree. Since he did come into acting later in his life he was used to a normal life. He is very intelligent too and is more picky when it comes to a job offer. I am glad he only chooses roles that he believes in or has a great person to work with etc.... I am glad he is not all about the money. I just miss seeing him weekly though.

Yeah, he's often talked about how careful he is with money and how he leads a quiet life, and I am sure he probably invested his OC salary wisely so he's not desperate for cash. Which gives him a lot more freedom to choose his projects. or probably not work at all if that's what he wants.

Still, if JGHG is coming out in September, he's going to have to start doing press for that quite soon, so at least we'll get something. Once Johnny's over though, it's going to be a really long wait for new Ben stuff.

krisz
07-17-2008, 06:14 AM
I am hoping he does a lot of press work for JGHG. Hopefully we will get a bunch of info on it soon. Maybe he will suprise us with something he has been working on.

firefawn
07-17-2008, 06:50 AM
On the JGHG board at IMDB, someone who I think is the director sometimes posts. The official release date is still Sept 12th (Ben's 30th!!) and supposedly the first batch of cities/dates for screenings will be announced next week. Hopefully one might be near you!

krisz

I don't think we'll get a cinema release in the UK, unless it does a couple of festivals. I hope the DVD will come out here at some point though. We still have no release date confirmed for 88 Minutes yet.

krisz
07-17-2008, 02:14 PM
Have you seen 88 minutes on line?

firefawn
07-17-2008, 02:55 PM
Not the whole thing. Just the clips of Ben's scenes. I thought he held his own with Pacino really well. I'll get around to watching it properly soon, I hope.

krisz
07-18-2008, 06:23 AM
I thought he did too. I am a Pacino fan as well. I thought it was a really good movie. Very suspenseful. The clips you saw were probably all of the ones he was in. I think I had pretty much seen them all prior to seeing the movie except for one shot of him at the bar.

firefawn
07-18-2008, 07:32 AM
My boyfriend is a massive Pacino fan. Last summer we went on holiday to Sicily and visited some of "The Godfather" filming locations. We went to a bar which was in the first film and they had loads of pics on the wall of the cast. Pacino looked so young. I think he was only a couple of years older than Ben is now when he made it. I wish Ben could get a role in an epic film like The Godfather. I hope he gets a chance at a major studio film soon.

krisz
07-18-2008, 08:41 AM
Very cool to have seen all of that! Ben is a big "Godfather" fan too. You can tell he really respected Pacino and his work. It must have been so thrilling for him to work with someone that he idolized. It would be awesome for him to get a huge role in a major film.

firefawn
07-18-2008, 12:52 PM
Yeah, if he did a big studio film, at least there would be a proper worldwide release date planned and a lot of promotion behind it. Like with Rachel and *Jumper*.

krisz
07-22-2008, 06:20 AM
That would be great for him to get a large role like that and get all of that coverage like Rachel did. I know I heard her on a couple of radio stations here. Although I heard one back in S1 of Ben too.

firefawn
07-22-2008, 08:41 AM
I wish he could get cast in something big, but I guess that in that whole late 20s/early 30s age group there's a lot of competition from some very good, experienced actors who probably get to see and snap up the best scripts way before Ben. It must be hard to probably compete for roles against people like Jake Gyllenhaal, Casey Affleck, Ryan Phillippe and Christian Bale. Even though Ben is every bit as talented, a lot of producers just want the bigger name.

There was a Ben sighting from 11th July at a nightclub opening in LA. I'm glad he's still alive and out and about, but I'd rather hear something positive about his work right now.

krisz
07-22-2008, 09:06 AM
Where was he spotted? I missed that.

You are right, he does have a lot of competition and most want bigger names. He does have amazing talent if they would just give him a chance.

firefawn

I thought with Obama running for pres we would be getting to see him campaigning more...maybe in the fall as it gets closer to the election and colleges are back in session.

Finally, Ben went out and there are new pics!

Mad Men premiere 21st July. Thanks to Loveben at Ben Pix Central for the pics.

He looks good as usual.

Love the one of his whole face.

He is defintely looking more mature now.

I am glad we found some new pics of him out and about.

firefawn

I love the mature look. And the understated way he dresses.

And his laughter lines around the eyes are adorable. I hope nobody ever persuades him to Botox those away.

krisz

I know. I am glad he chooses to go with the more classic dress and neat appearance. You really don't see that a lot anymore especially for someone his age.

firefawn
07-23-2008, 09:45 AM
No, you don't. It's actually really nice to see it. Some actors who are about his age just come across as a bit sleazy, but Ben never does. He always comes across as a smart, decent person.

krisz
07-23-2008, 02:37 PM
Exactly!! Which makes me like him more b/c he is a decent guy who stayed true to himself through becoming a celebrity.

I completely agree! Gotta :heart: it, His shirt open a bit is EVEN HOTTER :heart:
I wonder what he would look like in full on suit. like yaaa....

firefawn
07-24-2008, 03:25 AM
Yeah, we haven't really seen him wear a tie with his suit for a long time. I think he likes the smart-but-casual approach. I prefer him to wear his suit with a shirt and proper shoes, not with a t-shirt and trainers that he sometimes does.

It would be awesome if he got a role where he had to wear a suit. It's definitely one of my favourite looks for him.

krisz
07-24-2008, 06:38 AM
I don't like it when he wears sneakers with a dressy outfit either.

He does look very good in suits!

firefawn
07-24-2008, 08:10 AM
I am glad he's moved on from this :wtf:

I don't know what he was thinking with those sweatpants :)

For me his best casual look is jeans and a polo shirt. I liked how he looked here.

LMAO at that picture. He was with his brother, right? I remember when I first saw that thinking "what are you thinking Ben?" Not one of hist better choices.

I do like the jeans and polo shirt look or a black tee.

firefawn
07-24-2008, 10:18 AM
Yes, that's his brother. I wonder how his acting career's going right now after being on The OC. I haven't heard anything about him at all.

I like jeans and a black t-shirt too. Pale blue is also a really good colour for Ben.

krisz
07-24-2008, 10:57 AM
Wait...his brother was on The OC?

firefawn
07-24-2008, 11:46 AM
Yeah, he was in TM as one of the students at Summer's activist meeting. I think he had a couple of lines.

He's next to Rachel in this screencap. Facially I don't think he looks that much like Ben IMO, but you can tell they are related. If that makes sense :) They've kind of got the same build, except Ben's more muscley and looks like he works out more.

krisz
07-24-2008, 12:32 PM
Wow! I did not know that was his brother. I knew it in the picture, but I didn't realize he played a part on The OC.

Ben is more muscley and much better looking than his brother. You can kinda tell they are related though.

firefawn
07-24-2008, 01:49 PM
Yeah, both his brothers are quite cute, but Ben's definitely the best of the bunch.

Ben looks like his dad, and I think the other two look more like their mum. Did you see the pics from Ben's grandfather's 90th birthday last year? I think some of Ben's cousins look a lot more like him than his brothers do.

krisz
07-24-2008, 02:23 PM
No...I didn't see them. I have seen pictures of his Mom before and his Dad I don't think they were from a party though.

firefawn
07-24-2008, 02:32 PM
Here's a link to the pics at Ben Pix Central. Ben's other brother, Nate, is next to him in the group shot.

Thanks for posting the link. I enjoyed seeing them. I don't know how I missed them before.

It's a big family and they all look like they are very close. Ben looks very smart and mature. I love the pics of him making his speech and where they are all gathered around the cake with Ben laughing and clearly sharing some banter with his grandfather.

krisz
07-25-2008, 05:45 AM
They were very nice family pictures.

firefawn
07-25-2008, 07:10 AM
You can tell in his interviews that Ben loves and respects his family very much. Again, that sets him apart from a lot of celebrities who often whine about their parents.

tam griff
07-28-2008, 05:18 PM
i'm glad that he is this way with his family. ben is such a nice person you could never say a bad word against him could you. almost time for a new thread any ideas?

I like that title. Pity he doesn't seem to be on anybody else's radar right now :(

He needs a job.

krisz
08-03-2008, 10:55 AM
Great video Nat!

I like that idea for a new title as well!

Yeah, too bad he isn't on anyone else's radar right now.

samala
08-03-2008, 05:59 PM
Oh so true! The man needs a job in which we can see him again and again and again, 'cause he's a really great actor, and hot. Did I mention hot?

And I like the title idea too!

firefawn
08-04-2008, 04:32 AM
I read somewhere that he's going to a fundraising ball in Hollywood for Obama just before the Democrat's convention. So, I guess there will be new pics and stuff.

But I so wish we could get news of a job. I know he likes to be choosy, but I think there may be a point where that starts to work against him. Especially as there isn't really much on his CV compared to a lot of his peers. My worry is that people are starting to forget about him. It would be nice if he got a few guest slots on TV shows. Then he wouldn't have to commit to a long contract, but at least his face would be out there again.

krisz
08-04-2008, 08:39 AM
Seriously, we are in a Ben drought right now. He really needs to be working on something soon. I agree a guest appearance or something on some shows, but unfortunately I think he is very paticular about what he does. His peers are very busy right now with some big roles. I don't want people to forget about him either.

I am surprised we haven't heard more about him and Obama out campaigning. As it gets closer to the election, I hope he will be out there more campaigning for him.

Sanne!
08-04-2008, 10:36 AM
He definitely dazzles. Does he sparkle in the sun too? ;)

I want new picturesssss. Show your self Ben.

firefawn
08-04-2008, 03:31 PM
We definitely need new pics. I wish we could get some candids of Ben with Oscar.

krisz
08-05-2008, 06:29 AM
They would be great pics to see!

firefawn
08-05-2008, 04:42 PM
They would. We don't seem to get any candids at all of Ben any more, just the very occasional appearance at an event.

BTW, we need a new thread. Who's making?

krisz
08-06-2008, 06:17 AM
I agree....we normally only get a pic here or there totally random stuff.

We are going with tthe title b/c he is on our radar?

firefawn
08-06-2008, 01:11 PM
Yes, I think everyone was pretty happy with that title.
