Millions of fans came of age vicariously through Adam Brody on the small screen via his roles Gilmore Girls and especially The O.C., where he displayed a penchant for neurosis-infused quips. But the 32-year-old actor has also crafted a surprisingly diverse and hip, quirky filmography, which he adds to with writer-director Whit Stillman’s latest movie, Damsels in Distress.
