Actor Penn Badgley (born November 1, 1986) is from Baltimore, Maryland. The family moved several times, and Penn went to elementary school in Seattle, Washington. From the first school years, he played in children's school plays, participated in children's radio programs. And at the age of 11, Penn Badgley went to Hollywood, where he recorded his first song.
Despite his young age, Penn took the case seriously and soon became known as a songwriter and performer. Penn graduated from college in California and went to the University of Southern California. However, by that time he had signed several contracts, and, as it turned out, overestimated his capabilities, so he left his studies.
Penn voiced several computer games, and in 1999 began acting in television series. At first it was a cameo role in Will and Grace, then the roles in the series went to the flow. In
TV series "Young and Reckless" Penn Badgley played the role of Philip Chancellor IV. It was already a notable role, and for its performance, Badgley was nominated for Philip Chancellor IV (best performance by a young actor in a television series). Then followed the role of Scott Tucker in the film “John Tucker must die”, and finally, the role of “a simple Brooklyn guy” in the very popular television series “Gossip Girl”. His character Dan Humphrey is similar in character to Penn himself. He does not aspire to belong to the upper world, knows the value of earned money and does not waste it like rich teenagers from Manhattan. Penn likes his character, although he stresses that they are far from identical.
Penn perceives his popularity ambiguously. When the actor is recognized on the streets, it is pleasant, but when unfamiliar girls literally throw themselves on the neck, it is unusual and even a little scary. And Penn Bedgley has repeatedly stressed in interviews that he tries to remain an ordinary guy and does not consider himself a superstar. /
