Career: Recurring parts on series such as The Gilmore Girls, Judging Amy and The Sausage Factory followed, before Brody was given the role that would catapult him to stardom, playing Seth Cohen in teen drama The OC. Since then, he has featured in MADtv and The Loop, but it's been on the big screen where Brody's career has flourished. Roles in American Pie 2 (2000), The Ring (2002), Grind (2003), Mr & Mrs Smith (2005) and Thank You for Smoking (2006) raised his profile. His more recent credits include Scream 4 (2011), Welcome to the Jungle (2013), Lovelace (2013), Baggage Claim (2013), Think Like a Man Too (2014) and CHiPs (2017).

Career: MacDowell's modelling career took off in a big way, but it also led her to the movies. In 1984, she landed a role in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan (though her voice was dubbed by Glenn Close), and a year later gained a small role in the blockbuster St Elmo's Fire. It would be another four years before she gained widespread success, and it started with indie flick sex, lies and videotape (1989). Since then, she has gone on to establish a solid acting career, with films such as Green Card (1990), Groundhog Day (1993), Short Cuts (1993), Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) and Multiplicity (1996). More recently she's appeared in The Six Wives of Henry Lefay (2009), The 5th Quarter (2009) and Footloose (2011). Since 2013, she has starred in American drama Cedar Cove.
