Best career after the O.C?


I asked this on the OTH message boards so I thought why not ask here too?
For me I'd say Ben, purely because of Gotham.

But how can you prove for SURE that I don't go to Hogwarts??

Ben. Southland and Gotham.

Pretty much the only one that's had a career with any redeeming value

Other than Peter Gallagher who hands down has had the best career before and after The OC, I'd definitely agree that Ben McKenzie has done well for himself, followed by Rachel Bilson.

i got to say ben

Ben I would say has had the most success. Southland and now the main character on Gotham. He's doing really well.

Rachel I think would be next. Being the main star on Hart of Dixie and a handful of high profile movies has secured her some decent success.

After that, I would say Willa Holland. She's been steadily working and is one of the main stars on Arrow now.

Then Adam. He was getting cast in a lot of studio films during and immediately after The O.C. But then he kind of fizzled out (his 15 minutes were up) and is now mostly doing low budget indie movies that nobody really sees.

Mischa has definitely struggled the most. She does a bunch of crappy B movies, her "comeback role" on TV (The Beautiful Life) was canceled after only 2 episodes, and she was eliminated second on Dancing With the Stars. And she's known more for her partying/chaotic personal life rather than her acting work nowadays. Sad, because I thought she'd have a huge career after she left The O.C. Boy was I wrong...

Mischa was in The Sixth Sense. That is pretty redeeming. Of course, that was when she was little.
