Born in San Diego, Calif., on December 15, 1979, Adam Brody is one of Hollywood's hottest young talents.

After landing a role in the NBC made-for-TV movie Growing Up Brady in 2000, he became a staple in the American teen television scene. Best known for his role as Seth Cohen—a dorky California hipster—on the now-defunct Fox television series The O.C., Brody has made his way onto the silver screen, starring in several hit films including Mr & Mrs. Smith and In the Land of Women.

Real life imitated art for Brody when he dated costar and O.C. love interest Rachel Bilson for over two years, but the couple split in November 2006.
