Southland was NBC’s attempt to make a new spin on the cop drama by focusing more on the lives of the patrol officers and detectives on the LAPD force. The show replaced ER’s timeslot on NBC, but couldn’t keep up. They tried to re-work the show, but ended up shutting it down. TNT bought the remaining episodes and will begin airing the first and second seasons in January. The men of Southland include Ben McKenzie as Ben Sherman, Michael Cuditz as John Cooper, Shawn Hatsoy as Sammy Bryant, Tom Everett Scott as Russell Clarke, Kevin Alejandro as Nate Moretta and Michael McGrady as Daniel Sal Salinger.
Shirtless Shawn Hatosy got shirtless on the show Southland recently. Hatosy has been playing the role of Sammy Bryant since 2009. He has also made guest appearances on shows such as Law & Order: LA,Hawaii Five-O and Criminal Minds during this time.
Shirtless Brandon Fobbs hasn’t carved out a very strong name for himself yet but I am patiently waiting. He is totally hot and definitely deserves to appear on both the big and small screen. Fobbs just had a small part on the TV show Southland. Maybe he made a good impression and other shows will pick him up.
Ben McKenzie, who plays officer Ben Sherman on TNT’s Southland, finally got a shirtless scene on the show. They’ve been keeping him pretty well clothed in this role, as opposed to when he played Ryan Atwood on The O.C. We’re hoping this is a sign of things to come!
Shawn Hatosy is one of those guys who’s in a ton of movies, you instantly recognize his goofy good looks, but just can’t remember his name.

The men of Southland return to the small screen this month.
Ben McKenzie first gained fame on The O.C. as Ryan Atwood, getting himself on many a blog and celeb magazine hottest male celeb lists. These days he’s playing Officer Ben Sherman on the struggling Southland. The show was launched last year on NBC, dropped, and picked up by TNT. It will debut on TNT in January. A bit of trivia about Ben McKenzie: His real last name is Schenkkan, but, believe it or not, a Ben Schenkkan was already listed with the Screen Actors Guild, so he changed it to McKenzie.
