The "Golden Boy" as Gossip Girl known as him — Nate Archibald — played through then-22-year-old Chace Crawford. In the collection finale, the reluctant prince of Upper East Side became essentially the most career-successful in the team. But the same cannot be said for the actor who performed him.
Crawford's breakout function was once fairly a curse. He was once lowered to being a teenage dreamboat and the "stupidity" of his role which he himself acknowledged.
Director Joel Schumacher also confessed to objectifying the Gossip Girl star in his 2010 movie, Twelve. It was labeled "the worst movie in the history of Sundance," in large part due to Crawford's uninventive lead function as an Upper East Side high-school dropout who sells medicine to his rich pals.
As a consequence, LA Times dominated Crawford's post-Gossip Girl potential as "not so great" due to "lack of range." But just lately, the 36-year-old actor turns out to be working on a career renaissance for himself. Here's how.
Starring In Amazon Prime's 'The Boys'
After a run of the mill foray into motion pictures from 2010 to 2014, Crawford went again to TV in 2015. He was once solid for the lead role of Billy LeFever in ABC's Blood & Oil — a short-lived primetime cleaning soap opera finishing handiest after 10 episodes. The actor went again to making low-budget motion pictures in 2016. Then he landed a habitual function in Hulu's hit comedy series, Casual, in 2017. Unfortunately, the display ended at its height after two seasons.
In 2018, the Eloise star used to be in any case cast in a significant TV role — The Deep — within the acclaimed Amazon Prime series, The Boys. The ongoing comic book adaptation has an excellent 8.5 rating on IMDb. In 2020, Forbes wrote: "'The Boys' Ratings Are So Strong It’s Challenging Netflix’s Top Hits."
The Deep is a distinctly mature character in comparison to Nate. It allowed Crawford to reemerge within the highlight with an entire new symbol. Fans even say he looks as if the Hemsworth brothers. The former teenage heartthrob has evolved into a intercourse symbol.
Joining Nina Dobrev In The Ensemble Comedy 'Reunion'
In August 2021, it was announced that Crawford will likely be joining Chris Nelson's ensemble comedy movie, Reunion. The solid will feature a diverse set of TV stars: Vampire Diaries alum Nina Dobrev, Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Michael Hitchcock, Gotham's Jamie Chung, Made for Love's Billy Magnussen, Home Sweet HomeGoods' Jillian Bell, and Small Fortune host Lil Rel Howery.
Crawford's Thoughts On 'Gossip Girl' 10 Years Later
In 2020, Crawford had a mini-reunion via Zoom call with Penn Badgley who performed Dan AKA the actual Gossip Girl. The former co-stars mirrored on their time in Gossip Girl and mentioned their new roles — Crawford as The Deep and Badgley as Joe within the Netflix hit mystery collection, You. "It was interesting to see a guy I worked with for so long on my TV screen again," Crawford instructed Badgley.
"I honestly was so excited to see you play this dignified superhero," Badgley said about Crawford's satirical superhero persona. "And then I’m like, 'Oh, no. It just took such a turn.'" The two also revealed that they are "uncomfortable" staring at the original Gossip Girl on their own. They up to now said no to a cameo within the reboot however they mentioned the speculation of live-tweeting a viewing party with their different co-stars, Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, and Ed Westwick.
