Ben McKenzie Looks Back on "The O.C."

[JamesG]

"There is no easy transition from sleeping in your friend's apartment in the San Fernando Valley to 'You're going to be on a show that happened to just hit the zeitgeist and take off.'

Many actors who happened to land a hit show usually have done many, many years of work, so for me I really had nothing to compare it to. I think that for many of us it felt like a rocket ship and we were all hanging on for dear life."
