Actor Adam Brody on Tuesday took a jab at Eric Hovde, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin, who spends a not-insignificant amount of time in Orange County, California.

“Hey, Wisconsinites, Adam Brody here,” Brody said in a TikTok video that had been viewed 1 million times as of Wednesday. “Please take it from me, nobody from the O.C. should hold office in Wisconsin. Reelect Tammy Baldwin.”

Brody’s message is a nod to his time on Fox’s drama “The O.C,” which ran from 2003 to 2007. Hovde was born and raised in Wisconsin, but spends much of his time in Orange County, according to the Los Angeles Times. Per The Associated Press, Hovde owns a $7 million home in Laguna Beach, California, and is the CEO of H Bancorp, a multi-bank holding company based in Irvine.

“I’m born in Wisconsin, raised in Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin,” Hovde told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2023. “My home is Wisconsin. I have a business in Wisconsin. So that’s my response.”

In February, Hovde posted a video on social media of himself shirtless and chest-deep in Madison’s frozen Lake Mendota.

“So the Dems and Senator Baldwin keep saying I’m not from Wisconsin, which is a complete joke,” Hovde says in the video.

As for Brody, who recently starred in Netflix’s “Nobody Wants This,” he has been campaigning with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, urging people to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in next week’s presidential election.

Hovde is running against Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D), who in 2012 became the first openly LGBTQ+ person elected to the U.S. Senate. In her closing arguments during a debate with Hovde earlier this month, Baldwin said of her opponent: “He’s been named among the more influential residents of Orange County three years in a row. We have a Brown County, Wisconsin. We have a Green County, Wisconsin. We do not have an Orange County, Wisconsin.”
