Ben McKenzie/Ryan Atwood#276 b/c we are looking forward to Scooby Doo with Ben!
 Thread #275 Thank You Marisa ^credit: kathy 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. BASIC INFO Real Name: Benjamin McKenzie Schenkkan Age: 28 Birthdate: September 12, 1978 Home: Santa Monica, California Height: 5'9 Weight: 170 FACTS & TRIVIA -Uncle is Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan -Education: Austin High, graduated 1997; University of Virginia, bachelor's degree 2001 -His paternal grandparents both did some acting when they were young. His 22-year-old brother Nate is a Yale graduate working in avant-garde theater in New York. Younger brother Zack, 19, is attending Pomona College, a half-hour away from Los Angeles, and still pondering his future. -He followed his father and grandfather to the University of Virginia, where he graduated in 2001 with a degree in economics and foreign relations. -He changed his name for screen-credit purposes because there's an actor named Ben Schenkman registered with the Screen Actors Guild. -Son of Austin attorney Pete Schenkkan and poet-writer Frances Schenkkan -Moved to New York City three weeks before 9/11 -While in New York he waited tables to help support himself and shared a bunk bed in a cramped apartment in the city. -Mother: Frances Schenkkan will begin the master's program in creative writing at the University of Texas in the fall. She's been a newspaper reporter and editor, and in the 1980s she served on the Austin Planning Commission and the board of the Austin Child Guidance Center. She is a recipient of the Adele Steiner Burleson prize in poetry at the university. She and husband Pieter have three sons, Ben, Nate, and Zack. -He graduated from the same high school in Austin that the Bush twins (Jenna and Barbara) graduated from. He was a senior the year they were freshmen. -Second cousin of Sarah Drew -Was a speaker at the Democratic National Convention on July 27, 2004. -Drives an Infiniti G35.  credit:~summer & seth~ Latest Ben Pictures    Ben Mckenzie on the Web Fan Sites Benmckenziefan ben-mckenzie.com Completely Ben M.

I think I might change the Latest Ben Pictures. They need updating, don't you think?
And today is Emmy nomination day, so fingers crossed for Ben, Michael, Regina - and of course Foxy!

I put another three in. Not fond of the hair in the Turkish one, but it is the most recent! BTW, I was going through photobucket and I found these - do you think they were done at the same location by the same photographer? They are such a similar style - and of course such beautiful subjects! LOL!
  BTW, the new Fanbolt 2010 design is really screwing with the coloured links on the OP. Best viewed by switching back to 2009! I can't be bothered to go through it all and change all the colours right now! ETA: No Emmy nomination for Ben, but Best Actor for Foxy! Yay! Ben's time will come!

Wow!! They are so similar!!! It very well could be the same photographer (whose name escapes me now) and location. Maybe, they did the shoot together? LOL.
The new pics look good. I especially like the color version of the blue shirt with his eyes. I agreee with the new pic from Turkey, his hair could use a trim. I noticed the new color changes this week too. I have been having trouble reading parts of it also. I wasn't sure if it was permanant or not so I hadn't bothered changeing anything. Sadly there were no Southland nominations this year. Hopefully, next year. Yes, Ben's time will come!! Congrats to Foxy!!!!

I did watch one of the episodes and did not recognize Ben's voice. I was actually laughing trying to detect it. I do have 2 other episodes recorded that I have to watch/listen to. They did have a commercial for a new Scooby series that begins tonight at 7 on Cartoon Network and I was wondering if that was the series he would be on.

Great cap!!
He wasn't on last night either. Hopefully, they will list which one he will be in and how many episodes. That is a great pic of Ben and Michael! Cute faces!

I think so too. I wish he'd been cast as a main character, but maybe they will be remaking more cartoons and it clashed with going back to work on Southland or something. Who knows?

I wish we would know for certain which show he was going to be on and which episodes. I had no idea they would have so many different episodes and series still on of Scooby Doo on Sunday's. I was able to rule some out by the year except not all of them had the year listed.
Did you see the cute pic of Ben, Michael and Regina? Awesome pic! Regina is so lucky! Little Critictoo
