Whether you know him as Dave Rygalski, Lane's bandmate and first boyfriend in Gilmore Girls, or Seth Cohen from The O.C., chances are you've one of the era's most beloved actors, Adam Brody, in one project or another.
As an actor, producer, and musician, Brody rose to fame after his breakthrough role as Seth Cohen on The O.C.. During his early career, Brody appeared in iconic films like Mr. & Mrs. Smith alongside Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and in Jennifer's Body alongside Megan Fox.
Brody grew up in San Diego, California, where he spent his childhood in acting classes, surfing, and working on creative projects, ranging from scrapped screenplays to songs.
Although he began his career working primarily in TV, Cohen turned his attention to the silver screen following the wrap of The O.C., and in the past decade, has appeared in films ranging from the fast-paced thriller Ready or Not to blockbuster DC film Shazam! to beloved slasher flick Scream 5.
In 2010, while on the set of The Oranges, Brody met Leighton Meester, although you may know her better as Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl, and the two began dating. In 2014, the couple married, and in 2015, the pair welcomed a daughter, Arlo Day. In 2020, the family expanded further, with the birth of the couple's second child, a son whom neither parent has commented on publically.
