'The O.C.' has a Bright idea

[Emma]

Oh Bright, what happened to your curly, fluffy hair?

Chrispratt Witness the new look of Chris Pratt, formerly Bright Abbott on "Everwood." He sported a standard jock look on that show, but for his new gig on "The O.C.," he’s got more of a scruffy tree-hugger ensemble going on, complete with fuzzy beard and beret.

In Season 4 of "The O.C.," which begins [date corrected here] Nov. 2, Pratt plays Che, an environmental activist at Brown University; that’s where he gets to know Summer Roberts (Rachel Bilson).

Seth Cohen (Adam Brody), on the other hand, is working at a local comic book store and hanging out with Summer’s dad for kicks. How exciting does that sound? Surely it will provide the opportunity for much pop-cultural quippage.

Fistsoffury Ryan Atwood (Benjamin McKenzie) is apparently using the fists of fury to deal with his grief over the death of Marissa, as evidenced by this image of Ryan about to pummel someone. Even though "The O.C." ran out of juice well before the middle of Season 3, it’s still good to see the old reliable fists of fury.

"The O.C." has a new crop of kiddies now that Marissa’s gone; Kaitlin Cooper, Marissa’s little sis, is still around and Taylor Townsend (Autumn Reeser) will have a bigger role this year as well. Apparently R&B singer Chris Brown is involved somehow in Season 4; the press kit lists him as "Will Tutt," who, according to Zap2it.com, gets involved with Kaitlin.
