Like many of his O.C. costars, Ben McKenzie attempted to enter the world of film when the show ended. After a string of roles in mostly forgettable movies (Johnny Got His Gun, anyone?), Ben found success as one of the main officers in the gritty LA crime drama Southland, and after it was canceled, he was cast as the lead in Fox's Gotham. He is currently engaged to his costar Morena Baccarin, and the couple welcomed a girl named Frances in March 2016.
