    About this ebook

    As a kid growing up in San Diego, California, Adam spent most of his time surfing, skateboarding, and watching TV. But when he convinced his best friend to move to Los Angeles with him to try acting, his life began to morph into what it is today. But who said it was going to be easy? With small roles on shows like The Young and the Restless and City Guys, Adam was getting nowhere fast. Then he landed a recurring role on Gilmore Girls playing quirky musician Dave Rygalski and his career really took off.

    Now, in his current role as Seth Cohen on Fox's The O.C. it's undeniable: Adam is a star! And with movie roles pouring in and The O.C. taking off, he's just gonna keep getting hotter. So, what are you waiting for? Come find out what makes Adam Brody so adorkable!

      Adam Brody - Nancy Krulik

      Geek Chic!

      Whether he’s listening to one of his favorite bands, Death Cab for Cutie, or reading up on his X-Men, Adam Brody is certainly not your typical heartthrob. But, boy, does he get the hearts of millions of girls throbbing every week on Fox’s breakout hit The O.C.!

      With his witty sense of humor and adorable good looks, he’s single-handedly made geek chic! Oh yeah, and he’s an extremely talented actor. What can you say? This guy’s got it all!

      But has his sudden hottie status and lucrative television gig made him an egomaniacal freak? Not in the least. Adam is still the same kid who grew up in San Diego surfing with the guys. And don’t worry, girls, he’s still the adorkable geek we all love!

      For Wendy H., my favorite teenager!

      Geek Chic!

      Imagine your friends fixing you up with a guy whose idea of a fun evening is going to a comic book convention. What are you supposed to think when your pals tell you that looks-wise this mystery date has been compared to a young Tom Hanks (which isn’t quite as hot as, say, a young Tom Cruise) and that he has a great personality and an awesome sense of humor.

      Oh, yeah. And one more thing. A lot of people consider him kind of a geek. You’d probably run off screaming before ever going out with the dude. But that would be a BIG MISTAKE. After all, the mystery date just might be none other than The O.C.’s hot-hot-hottie Adam Brody.

      The nerds of the world can stand a little taller now that Adam Brody has come along. Adam’s O. C. character, Seth Cohen, may be the geek of his teen crowd, but he’ s still the one all the really gorgeous girls are fighting over. Thanks to Adam, these days geek is chic.

      Seth has struck a chord in the hearts and minds of teens everywhere. Just about everyone can relate to Seth’ s overwhelming desire to be a part of the popular crowd at school. Those same audiences also love laughing at his goofy, often rye, self-deprecating sense of humor. At the young age of twenty-four Adam has managed to achieve the kind of on-screen magic that actors nearly twice his age struggle toward. In Seth, he’s created a character who is both a sympathetic, well-loved guy and the show’s joking comic relief.

      What’s unique about Adam’s portrayal of Seth Cohen is its believability. That’s not usually the first word you’d use for a soap actor’s character. Even a nighttime-drama kind of soap character. Whether it be daytime or nighttime, often the acting can be a little over the top. But that’s definitely not the case when it comes to Adam’s portrayal of Seth. He’s so real that he seems like the guy who sits behind you in algebra class.

      Which is why fans of The O.C. probably wouldn’t be surprised to discover that the real-life Adam Brody actually has a lot in common with Seth Cohen. It’s obvious that Adam is digging deep into his own life experiences to make Seth a living, breathing, three-dimensional character.

      Gasp! Does that mean that in real life, Adam is a nerd?

      You be the judge. Consider what he told ELLEgirl magazine about his idea of the perfect date: "I once dragged my girlfriend to the first midnight showing of X-Men 2." He also admitted, She was the only girl there.

      Of course she was probably the luckiest girl there too, because underneath all the nerdy behavior there’s something incredibly endearing and sexy about this brown-haired, hazel-eyed honey. (And a movie like
