Benjamin McKenzie
Gossip

How do you mourn the death of a loved one?

Anna Nicole Smith gets married.

Mel Gibson probably gets drunk.

And Benjaim McKenzie gets even ... inside a steel cage?

If the following picture is any indication, McKenzie's Ryan reacts to the (awesome!) death of his girlfriend on The OC, Marissa, by entering into a few bare knuckled brawls.

We think it's safe to say writers are officially out of ideas for the series.

Putting aside OC bashing for now, take a look at any Russell Crowe picture. The similiarites to McKenzie are striking. Of course, that could just be due to the fact that he's fighting here.

But he doesn't seem very broken up about it, does it? Now that Mischa Barton (or her character, Marissa Cooper, we suppose) is dead, Benjamin McKenzie can walk around without an emaciated ball and chain holding him down.

Everyone on the set of The OC seems to be more relaxed now. Almost all cast members agree that this is probably the last season for the once hilarious and witty FOX program. So they can kick back and have fun with it.

Or entertain offers to play Wonder Woman, as Rachel Bilson is reportedly doing. Either way, the point remains the same: Marissa sucked.
