Dog

The loyal, principled everyman who always fights for the right side.

Ben McKenzie is best known for playing Ryan Atwood in The O.C. and Jim Gordon in Gotham — both deeply loyal, duty-driven characters that mirror his own public persona. Off-screen, he channeled that same earnest tenacity into becoming a vocal, well-researched critic of cryptocurrency fraud, co-authoring a book on the subject and testifying publicly despite having little personal incentive to do so. He comes across as genuinely warm, reliable, and principled rather than flashy or self-aggrandizing — the quintessential dog personality.
