Adam Brody, best known for his roles as Seth Cohen on The OC and Noah on Nobody Wants This, revealed during a comedy roundtable for The Hollywood Reporter that there was one role he desperately wanted early in his career but didn’t get: Blue’s Clues. When asked what project they fought hardest for, Brody responded, “I really wanted Blue’s Clues early on... I tried real hard, yeah. It was like 1999, I auditioned for it, I wanted it, I didn’t get it. But I would’ve loved it.” Brody also mentioned missing out on a role on Dawson’s Creek that eventually went to Michael Pitt—that of freshman football player Henry Parker. Fortunately, Brody soon found success as Dave Rygalski on Gilmore Girls before moving onto his breakout role as the sardonic Seth Cohen on The OC. His performance in last year’s Nobody Wants This earned him his first Golden Globe nomination.
