The OC Series Finale – Cast’s Favorite Moments

February 22, 2007 by  

The OC Series Finale

Curious as to what some of the cast of The O.C. noted as their favorite memory from the show? Check it out. And I’ve added some of my favorite memories too (at least the ones I could find online). WOW, this is getting real. Just hours away from saying goodbye. Someone hold me (Ben…Adam…hello?!)

Peter Gallagher

And you know, frankly, I have had so many good days on this show; I loved going to work; I love the cast; I love this crew; I love our directors and every day on this set sure beats working in a coal mine.”

Rachel Bilson

I like the episode last year where at prom I got really drunk and fell off the stage and it was my first time doing a stunt, so I like to brag and tell people that I can do stunts because I got to fall off the stage, even though it was like a foot. The stunt girl did the fall… but I did a little of that. But that was just a fun episode — there were just so many.”

Ben McKenzie
ryansmall.jpg “The first day of the pilot was kind of nutty. I showed up in the Valley and we were shooting Ryan at his old house with his mom. I think McG stopped by for like two seconds… ‘You’re going to be great, you’re going to be great’ and then ran away. It was cool. I think it was just me and Doug and I think Peter maybe worked a little with Doug Liman the director. And then Peter was in a couple scenes… it was pretty heavy stuff. It was kind of crazy. It was either sink or swim time; so thankfully it has worked out.”

Melinda Clarke

Autumn Reeser

That was just a cool feeling because I never go to the beach at night. Basically whenever we got to go on location and shoot at the beach, that was always amazing to be hanging out at the beach all day working. We were watching dolphins go by and hearing the seagulls, so that was pretty neat.”

Willa Holland

GMMR’s Favorite Moments (that were on YouTube)…
There are just too many to count, but here are a few faves that immediatley came to mind. I may add some more videos during the day. If you’re favorite moment was on youtube, pass it along.

Summer woos Seth as Wonder Woman

Favorite Music Moments…
The season finale set to Jeff Buckley’s ‘Hallelujah’ – just awesome. Especially when Coop whips out the flask! Bless her heart.

…and Imogean Heap’s “Hide and Seek” as the backdrop to Caleb’s funeral. And then of course KiKi gets her drink on. I’m seeing a pattern here.

    Oh, that Hallelujah in the Season One finale! The best use of that song in a TV show, ever. It makes me cry, and cry, and cry.

    Goodbye, O.C.! I’ll miss you. Sniff.

    Hide And Seek was also used in the season 2 finale when Marissa shoots Trey. Love that song and Imogen Heap! I was very upset they didn’t use some version of Hallelujah last night!

    The last 5 minutes of the series finale pretty much was the best thing ever, couldn’t have ended a show this good any better.

    Props to everyone who made it happen

    […] was featured twice during S2’s “Dearly Beloved”. We first heard it during the funeral procession for Caleb Nichols, and then later it was the song that broke through the moment Marissa shot Ryan’s brother […]
