Looking Back
Hot Gallery: Ben McKenzie, Shawn Hatosy, Michael Cudlitz, and Lucy Liu Reflect on the Road to Southland
The cast of Southland portrays tough-as-nails officers on the mean streets of Los Angeles. They patrol gang-infested areas, raid drug dens, get in stand-offs with armed, mentally unstable men and women, and chase suspects who refuse to go down without a fight. Needless to say, they are authority figures on the show, but during a recent set visit, the cast opened up to Snakkle about life not always imitating art. By Danielle Turchiano

Ben on The O.C. and Southland
“I think there is a little bit of a shift [now],” McKenzie hypothesizes about the way Southland has changed his image with the fans. “I think guys maybe look at me a little bit better—with a little more respect. Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking!”

He is a great actor. I imagined that he was a teenager in THE OC though I knew it was not really. Now I think it is police although it is not. It looks much less young. Greetings from Chile.
