Cam Gigandet has criticised his former OC co-stars Ben McKenzie and Mischa Barton.

The actor said that he doesn't have fond memories of his time on the teen drama, which he joined in season three as bad boy Kevin Volchok.


Speaking to Elle, Gigandet said: "Actually, Ben McKenzie was kind of mean to me. I hadn't done anything at that point and he was a little bit of an ass."

However, despite his experience on set with McKenzie, he said that he is still a big fan of the actor.

"I love him. I think he's a great actor and I love Southland," Gigandet insisted.

Asked for his memories of Barton, he replied: "Mischa? I didn't really... was she there? I don't even have memories of her."

The 31-year-old actor said that the cast of The OC were "f**king miserable", adding: "They were just - they would not remember their lines on purpose. They were young."

The OC drew to a conclusion after its fourth season in 2007, with Gigandet going on to star in Twilight, Burlesque, and new series Reckless.
