great to see him back on the screen. Talent wise he was only bested by Kelly Rowan but we all know talent doesnt count for much in Hollywood…

I think in this we will be able to see him thrive.

Thank you so much for these.
I can’t wait for the show to start, the promos look so good.
He is definitely looking better and better the older he gets.
Keep with the Ben posts!!!.

I used to watch the OC. But now as I look at the old eps, it was wack. I hope this show is better.

Completely agree with adam, less Bilson more Mckenzie!!
Somebody who is pictured working and not just “looking cute”.
I have seen loads of promos for the show and it looks like Ben will be given the chance to shine.

He’s definitley not pretty like Paul Walker. He’s pretty rough looking actually, but I liked his acting in the O.C. Hopefully this project does well.
