  • Adam Brody Quips and Quotes

    As per site guidelines of having just 10 quotes per editorless person guide and my personal preference of having at most 15 quotes for all person guides I edit, I am transferring some of the interesting quotes previously found in the Quotes section of the guide. If you wish to submit a new quote,More either do it on this thread or kindly PM me before replacing any of the existing quotes on the Quotes section. Thanks! Adam : (referring to a scene in " The O.C. ") There's a scene me and Ben did where we're locked in the poolhouse and I get claustrophobic. And so this girl closes the door on me in the scene, and I actually got hit by the door and it really hurt. So when you see that scene in an upcoming episode, you should know it's for real. Adam : (looking back on his " O.C. " days) I sort of consider it as my college. I was there four years and I made friends that I will have forever. No matter what happens in my life, at least career-wise--highs and lows--I still don't think that I'll ever go through a change as drastic in my life as I did that first year of the show. And it's nice to have a group of people who I'll always know who did the same exact thing that I did at the same exact time. Adam " (on what he's going to do now that " The O.C. " is over) Grow the best beard I can. I've had to shave every day for four years, and I've never been more excited to not shave–I've dreamed about this. Granted, it'll be a pretty pathetic beard, but I'm going to give it my best shot. Also, I'm going to sleep in, read, see more movies, play more music, walk my dog and write. Adam : (referring to " The O.C. ") There's no conversation more boring than talking about what it's really like to live in Newport and how the show compares to the real thing. I just don't care. Adam : I don't really have a favourite T.V. show. I hate The Valley ! Hate it! Adam : I love surfing and I've tried to convince Josh into letting Peter and I having a surfing scene in an episode of The O.C. . Adam : My favorite episodes of The O.C. are the ones where not much happens, where we take it down a notch. But I don't think the audience agrees with me. Adam : Well, I guess most people would only know me from The O.C. I did a few episodes of Gilmore Girls before that. I was also a client on a lot of lawyer shows. Adam : I love every emo bands and other types of music. It depends,like I love Death Cab and Phantom Planet and Coldplay . Adam : I don't know anyone who's going to see Grind 22 times in the theater. My mom. Some kid who has short-term memory loss and forgot that he's seen it. Adam : I always walked by on the shelf and thought , those kids have it made. At the time, I thought I Know What You Did Last Summer was very cool, but it was more their lives that I wanted. And, like everyone, I was in love with Jennifer Love Hewitt . Adam : (speaking of his pit bull terrier, Penny Lane) She's sweeter than any poodle, but she's strong and just won't heel. I do all the work. I'm the disciplinarian.

    Frickin hilarious, that's all that needs to be said. hide show

    As Joel Stein of Time Magazine has stated, thanks to his role as Seth Cohen in The O.C., Adam Brody has successfully introduced to the world of television the "Adam Brody" character archetype which is that of a "nerdy, sarcastic, obscure-reference-laced Jew". No one has ever given me as many laughs as Seth Cohen has, and that includes names such as George Lopez and Dave Chappelle. The stuff he says is just so sarcastic and knee slapping hilarious, that it's just so difficult to imagine anyone else even coming close to playing off the "Adam Brody" type character. Though even underneath the wit and humour, he's shown versatility in his ability to act when the drama bar is risen. Some of his dramatic scenes have really been excellent and he makes for a pretty good romantic character as well.

    Adam Brody is a good actor and he has the same name as me. hide show

    Ive seen Adam Brody in many movies before but the best show or movie hes been is the O.C. I still cant believe that the show is over. I also like Adam Brody's role in the Land of Women. Very good preformance. I still can't believe that he is probably going to play the role of Flash in Justice League of America coming up in 2010. Hes very funny in the O.C. He makes good apperances in movies when he has small parts. In summary I think Adam Brody is a Great actor and is going to star in many more good movies.

    Adam Brody is the ideal 21st century man. he is funny, smart, cute and talented. hide show

    I have been a huge Adam Brody fan for as long as i remember. i loved him in Gilmore girls and in the OC. Seth Cohen has got to be the most lust after Character in tv. i love all Adam Brody movies including my favorite In the Land of Women. i think he did a wonderful job. so disappointed he did not get a spin off show for Seth Cohen because he would have done a great job. He is and always will be the perfect guy for me. can't wait to see what his next project is. Adam Brody truly is LOVE

    I think I'm in love... hide show

    What can I say about Adam Brody? He is so gorgeous, he is very talented too. I think like every other girl who has reviewed Adam, i am also in love with him. He is a brilliant actor. I fist seen Adam act in The OC, with he played a big part in the show, as he was Seth Cohen. He was my favourite character in The OC. I have also seen Adam Brody in many other films, which I thought he did brilliant. He is so perfect, I really want to meet him. All in all Adam is a very talented actor and a very hot one too.

    ARCHETYPE OF GEEK CHIC hide show

    Despite the fact that, yes, like most of the other people who've reviewed him, I am "in love" with Adam Brody, I wouldn't go as far as to say that he is "one of the best" or super-talented. He's a decent actor who found an excellent vehicle in which to act (i.e. Seth Cohen). I will, however, say that he is one of the most attractive and most charming actors onscreen today.

    He made it cool to be a geek, or at least cemented the cool factor of geek chic. The vast majority of my friends who watch[ed] The O.C. watched it for "Seth Cohen." Because let's face it, there wasn't much else to watch it for after the second season. What really gets me though is the fact that once again, the geek got the girl, and the girl who belonged with him in the first place [Anna] got the shaft. Not that I have anything against Summer. Well, I've digressed quite a bit, but my point is, even if Seth Cohen isn't the most spectacular actor ever, he's got star power and in this business, that's almost all that matters. And he's got one fan here, who'll be in the theater on opening night, even if it is a crappy movie *coughInthelandofwomencough*.
