Actors of "Lonely Hearts": love on the screen and in life

For ten years, the attention of the youth audience completely belonged to the series “Beverly Hills 90210”, but in 2000, viewers saw the long-awaited finale. For Fox channel producers, it was clear that teen drama provided high ratings. However, a worthy replacement appeared after three years - the actors of "Lonely Hearts" again transferred us to the world of spoiled teens.

The premiere episode gathered more than seven million viewers on the screens. In the center of the plot is the high society of the resort town of Newport Beach, where a young man with a criminal past accidentally finds himself. At first glance, this is a paradise place where wealthy and happy people live. The flip side of external well-being is betrayal and falsehood.

Benjamin Mackenzie

The audience has already seen the story of spoiled teenagers more than once, but we recommend watching “Lonely Hearts” (television series). Actors Adam Brody, Misha Barton, Benjamin Mackenzie and Rachel Bilson played the main roles.

For Mackenzie, the difficult teenager Ryan Atwood was the first step in the career ladder. The popularity of the actor during the filming can be judged by two categories of Teen Choice Awards.

Two years after the closing of the series, Benjamin Mackenzie was waiting for another big project, “Southland,” and since 2014, the actor has been part of the main cast of the multi-part film “Gotham.”

Misha Barton

Young actors of “Lonely Hearts” could not draw a clear line between feelings on the screen and in life. For some time, Ben Mackenzie met with his partner Misha Barton (Marissa Cooper).

Initially, Misha did not give preference to one type of activity. Since 1995, she successfully participated in theatrical productions, starred in TV shows and even walked the catwalk. Then there were small roles in the projects “Notting Hill”, “Puppies”, “Sixth Sense”, “Children under sixteen” and “Paranoia”. Working with well-known colleagues undoubtedly influenced the development of Barton's talent, and real success was not long in coming.

Like other actors of "Lonely Hearts", Misha Barton since the release of the last episode of the series has not lacked interesting projects.

Adam Brody

Many fans of the series at first sight fell in love with the witty Seth Cohen, whose role was brilliantly performed by Adam Brody. One of the main places in his list of works is the series “Lonely Hearts”.

Actors and roles were perfectly matched, and Dag Lyman has a great merit in this. The joint work of the talented director and Adam Brody was not limited to the youth series. Lyman also invited the young actor to other projects: “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and Swingers.

Rachel Bilson

On the screen, Set Cohen is hopelessly in love with the beautiful Summer, who wins men's hearts every day. Outside the set, the actors of “Lonely Hearts” could not resist each other - the novel by Adam Brody and charming Rachel Bilson lasted three years.

Bilson's career began with commercials and small episodes in television series. After a successful casting in “Lonely Hearts”, the actress’s life changed. Due to the popularity with the audience, her heroine Summer Roberts was included in the main cast, and the scriptwriters decided to actively develop a line of relationship with Set Cohen.

Despite the love of the television audience, Rachel Bilson admitted that she prefers to act in films. After the series ended, the actress played big roles in the films “Teleport” and “New York, I love you”, and also took part in several independent projects.

In 2011, the creator of “OS” Josh Schwartz invited Bilson to star in the series Hart of Dixie. The last episode came out four years later, the actress took a short break and devoted herself to her young daughter Bryar Rose.
