Adam Brody reveals the one role he fought hardest for — and it may surprise you
Adam Brody really wanted this. The actor, 45, sat down for The Hollywood Reporter's comedy actor roundtable on Wednesday alongside Ted Danson, Seth Rogen, Julio Torres, John Mulaney, and Jason Segel and revealed a role he auditioned for that he didn't get. 'I really wanted 'Blue's Clues' early on when I first moved to L.A.,' Brody admitted in a clip posted to TikTok. 9 Adam Brody during The Hollywood Reporter round table. The Hollywood Reporter Rogen, 43, asked, 'And you fought for it?' to which the 'Nobody Wants This' star responded, 'I tried real hard, yeah.' 'It was like 1999, I auditioned for it, I wanted it, I didn't get it,' Brody continued. 'But I would've loved it. It's a show for toddlers. But it's all of those early ones.' Turns out that wasn't the only major show 'The O.C.' alum auditioned for. 9 Adam Brody dives into his career during The Hollywood Reporter round table. The Hollywood Reporter 9 Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie) and Seth (Adam Brody) in 'The O.C.' Brody told the table he also tried out for the part of Henry Parker on the WB drama 'Dawson's Creek.' The role ultimately went to Michael Pitt. 'I read with Scott Speedman, sweating,' Brody confessed. 9 Seth (Adam Brody) and Summer (Rachel Bilson), on'The O.C.' episode titled: 'The Chrismukkah that Almost Wasn't.' FOX 'Oh, they wanted pouty lips,' Torres, 38, cracked. 'Do you know the role?' Mulaney, 42, asked Torres. 'No,' he stated. 'I just know the actor.' Rogen quipped: 'He is pouty.' 9 Kristen Bell as Joanne, Adam Brody as Noah in 'Nobody Wants This.' ADAM ROSE/NETFLIX 9 The Netflix romcom 'Nobody Wants This.' HOPPER STONE/NETFLIX 'Blue's Clues' debuted on Nick Jr. in 1996 with Steve Burns as the show's host. After the actor, 51, left the animated series in 2002, Donovan Patton took over. 'Blue's Clues' current host is Joshua Dela Cruz. However, it all worked out for Brody, who landed the role of heartthrob Seth Cohen on 'The O.C.' in 2003. The series ran for three seasons until 2007 and starred Mischa Barton, Ben McKenzie, Rachel Bilson, Melinda Clarke and Peter Gallagher. In the 2024 book 'Welcome to the O.C.: The Oral History' by Rolling Stone's TV critic Alan Sepinwall, Brody admitted he wasn't thrilled with the material of the teen drama in later seasons. The actor said that while he was 'polite to everyone,' he still made it clear where he stood while on set. 9 Adam Brody during Fox TV 'White Hot Winter' Network Party.

And I got on really well and I didn't keep people waiting,' Brody confessed. 'I would never scream or yell at anyone, or say anything f–king mean. But I think I very much let my distaste for the later episodes be known. I didn't mask that at all and I'm sure I openly mocked it a bit. So I'm not proud of that.' 'I started to be creatively less interested,' he stated. 'I blame myself for a lack of professionalism, and a disrespect to the work. In terms of engagement as a whole, I'll just say that they're different shows, Season 1 and [the later seasons]. Had the quality been the quality of Season 1, I'm sure I would have been a lot more engaged… The quality of it and my engagement went hand in hand.' These days, Brody plays everyones favorite rabbi Noah, opposite Kristen Bell's podcast host Joanne in 'Nobody Wants This.' The Netflix romcom series was an instant hit and is currently filming Season 2. 9 Adam Brody during Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Presents 'The O.C.' Revealed at Steven Ross Theatre. WireImage 'I think I was getting stopped on the street pretty much day after it came out and I was getting texts from anyone — my handyman, anyone in my life — in my phone,' Brody said about the show while on Entertainment Weekly's 'Awardist' podcast. 'I've never witnessed anything that felt quite as overnight and as pervasive as this.' Teasing Season 2, Bell, 44, told the podcast, 'The world has been built out beautifully in a very grounded, realistic way. Because, look, you fall in love with someone and for a while it's just you and them. The world doesn't exist. And then slowly the world starts peeking in and you two have to coexist in the world that sometimes can be shocking.'

Carrie Fisher Had to Encourage Mark Hamill to 'Embrace' ‘Star Wars': 'Get Over Yourself, You're Luke Skywalker'
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Mark Hamill wasn't so forthcoming about his legacy in the Star Wars franchise. During an appearance on NPR's Fresh Air, The Life of Chuck actor recalled a time the late Carrie Fisher attended a Broadway show he was in and noticed that he didn't have Star Wars listed in his Playbill biography. The actress, who played Princess Leia, encouraged Hamill to 'embrace' his credit in the franchise as Luke Skywalker instead of shying away from it. More from The Hollywood Reporter Mark Hamill Rules Out Doing More 'Star Wars' 'Andor' Team Breaks Down Their Favorite Series Moments, Including That Mon Mothma Speech Ryan Reynolds Wants Disney to "Gamble" on an R-Rated 'Star Wars' Project 'In the Playbill, in my bio, I listed all my theater credits and at the end it said, 'He's also known for a series of popular space movies,'' he said. 'And she goes, 'What's the deal? How come you didn't mention Star Wars?'' Hamill responded, 'And I said, 'Well, I want to show that I have a resume that includes extensive theater credits,' and she said, 'Hey, get over yourself. You're Luke Skywalker, I'm Princess Leia. Embrace it.'' The longtime Star Wars actor admitted that he 'kind of saw what she meant' and that Fisher 'was someone that sort of put it in perspective for me.' Despite his extensive history with the franchise — and the recent cameos he's made as Skywalker in projects such as The Mandalorian — Hamill ruled out a potential Star Wars return and said the filmmakers 'should focus on the future and all the new characters.' 'I am so grateful to [creator George Lucas] for letting me be a part of that back in the day, the humble days when George called Star Wars 'the most expensive low-budget movie ever made,'' said Hamill during an interview with 'We never expected it to become a permanent franchise and a part of pop culture like that. But my deal is, I had my time. I'm appreciative of that. But I really think they should focus on the future and all the new characters.'
