The O.C. star Adam Brody has spoken about his first television appearance.

"My first commercial was for a spot cream," the actor is quoted by the Daily Star as saying. "They had to put me in, like, two hours of make-up. I've never seen it, but my friends have.

"They did a before and after and I started out with a lot of spot. Then they go to after and I was like, 'Well at least the audience will know that I don't have boils on my face because we'll clean it off.'

"And they were like, 'Well, actually not so, buddy, because you'd have tons of acne scars.' So then I hug my mom and I'm all like pock-marked.

"That's in existence somewhere and $100 to whoever finds it! I've never seen it."
