Certainly the experiences of Seth and his relationship to his parents and his point of view of the world are very similar to my own and very much based on my experiences at the University of Southern California.
I want every character be an outsider in some way.
As The O.C. started up again, I started to feel myself potentially getting pulled away.
I am the kind of person that takes everything as is and then look at it from the outside looking in.
I think you're only as good as the work that you do.
I think our show is very different from Orange County.
It is my goal to learn as much about the people I'm surrounded by. I am slowly widening who I am close with, and at the same time, growing further away from others.

We have some of the most passionate, vocal fans in the history of television.
