A rare appearance or is he just not invited places now that his show’s been over for a year?

omg i LOVE him!

I’ve honestly never heard of Mad Men

Thankfully the brilliant Mad Men is on AMC not ABC. At least we know the incredible series isn’t going to be held hostage by ratings.The new season starts Sunday at 10. Yay.

I love Ryan! :D Love Ben! Great that he’s attending an event, I’m glad he’s one of those people who stays out of the limelight and attend an event once and awhile. It’ll definitely do who good especially in this business! He looks good, and wow, I can’t believe he’s 30.

Where is he hiding? Haha i love him <3

Go to the “Johnny Got His Gun” website for more information about the film.

Mad Men is the BEST drama series on television right now. They won the Golden Globes this year too. Too bad the awards show was cancelled from the writers strike. I saw the marathon on Sunday and am now officially hooked on this show.

he needs plastic surgery on the eyes. i hate how they’re hooded.

Unlike his other OC costars, especially Mischa and Rachel, this guy is completely under the radar. The irony is that the first movie he ever starred in, Junebug, is the best reviewed among all of the ex-OCers films. Mckenzie got a lot of good notices for his acting there and his costar Amy Adams got a Best Supporting Actress nomination.
