I didn’t recognize him at first – the guy in the yellow corvette that Benjamin McKenzie (Mischa Barton’s co-star in The O.C.) arrested in the pilot episode of Southland on NBC tonight.
The guy he portrayed recognized McKenzie’s character Ben Sherman from Beverly Hills and couldn’t believe he was a cop.
While on The O.C. this guy had dark, wavy hair and caused several problems between Ryan (McKenzie) and Marissa (Barton) in the first season. In fact, I can’t stand the episodes with this guy in it. I wanted to throw a brick at the TV every time Marissa fell for his line of bull. Especially the part about his “girlfriend” Natalie, who actually worked at the hotel where he lived and helped watch over him while his parents traveled around the world.
Remember, Oliver Trask (Taylor Handley) was the rich guy who was obsessed with Marissa – and Ryan was the only person who could see that clearly. At the end of the storyline, Oliver wouldn’t allow Marissa to leave, threatening her with a gun saying he would kill himself if she leaved. Ryan came to the rescue, of course.
Southland airs at 9 p.m. CST on Thursdays on NBC. For more information about Southland, visit www.newtotv.com or visit NBC’s official Southland page to watch full episodes.

In case you don’t know, Mischa Barton’s co-star Benjamin McKenzie from The O.C. is now starring in NBC’s new ensemble cop drama Southland, which will make its official premiere on Thursday, April 9 (taking ER’s coveted spot).
NBC has released a sneak preview of the entire first episode on its website. Click here to watch the pilot now.
I’ve had the opportunity to watch the show, and think it’s worth watching. I encourage The O.C. fans to tune in.
