Then: Like all worthy boys from the wrong side of the tracks, Ryan looked good in a wifebeater. Unlike the rest of them, he was adopted by a rich family in Newport Beach and he got a whole poolhouse to himself. One half of the bromance of the decade.

Now: McKenzie joined the LAPD on "Southland," where he plays not-so-rookie cop Ben. The show returns in February 2013 with new episodes on TNT. We truly believe, in our heart of hearts, that he and Adam Brody and Peter Gallagher and Kelly Rowan get together for bagels every morning. Don't deny us this dream.
