Penn Badgley Fast Facts:

Was involved in the Pine Nut Players community theater in Monroe and the Seattle Children's Theater while growing up in Washington.
Passed his high-school proficiency test at age 13.
An early credit was voice work for Mario Golf 64, in 1999.
An embarrassing moment, he told TV GUIDE in 2002, was forgetting the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner" while singing at a minor-league baseball game.
Appeared in the 2006 film John Tucker Must Die, a teen comedy that earned praise from Roger Ebert, while USA Today, though not enamored of the movie, praised Badgley's "verve" in his role.
After taking on TV roles in the 2002 sitcom Do Over, the 2004-to-2005 drama The Mountain and a 2006 drama, Bedford Diaries, he hit pay dirt with the popular teen drama, Gossip Girl, which debuted in 2007.
Sometimes wonders whether teens should be watching Gossip Girl, telling Moviephone, "I feel that maybe they're too young" for some of the series' subject matter.
Appeared in the edgy, funny and well-received 2010 teen comedy-drama Easy A.
An avid promoter of soccer.
Named to the American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet in 2010.
