Penn Badgley • Dan Humphrey #81: We love watching him grow along with his hair

The 81st Penn Badgley/Dan Humphrey Appreciation Thread


(made by jowat)

~All About Penn Badgley ~

Birth Name: Penn Dayton Badgley
Birth Date:1 November 1986, Baltimore, MD
Height: 5' 10½" (1.79 m)

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Badgley split his childhood years between Richmond, Virginia. and Seattle, Washington.
In Seattle he was involved in the Seattle Children's Theater and did voice-overs for a children's radio station.
It was through these experiences that Badgley discovered his love of acting. This passion brought him one summer to Hollywood,
where he landed an agent and his first big break guest-starring on "Will & Grace" (1998).
After relocating with his mother to Los Angeles, Badgley secured several recurring roles on "The Young and the Restless" (1973),
"The Brothers Garcia" (2000), and "Daddio" (2000).

At the age of 14, Penn completed his California High School Proficiency Exam and began attending Santa Monica City College.
Also musically gifted, he enjoys singing, writing, and playing the guitar. In his spare time, Badgley likes to go surfing, skiing and snowboarding.

~ How We Feel About Dan/Penn ~

I've been intrigued by Penn since I caught him on Bedford Diaries, and actually went into GG for him alone. I don't think GG has always used him to his full potential but I'm definitely loving Dan again this year. So glad that Penn is enjoying himself again, it shines through. -Amy(Diagnal Zipper)

How does one describe a perfect male specimen? A man that not only looks like a god but is kind, funny and all around cool. A man that's intelligent, articulate, well read and successful. A man that knows how to straddle the line between a good boy and a bad boy. A man that can swear like a trucker but sing like a sweetheart. A man that explores the jungle, skis, snowboards, surfs. A man that plays piano, guitar, bass. What do you call this man? Some would say a Renaissance man, I say... Penn Dayton Badgley.

Penn is such a talented actor not to mention witty, smart, and hot. He's so laid back and dedicated to his work that each role is special to him.
He makes Dan such a great character to watch and root for. -Dana(upchitzcreek)



I will admit something: I was not always a Penn Badgley fan. I know, I know, what is wrong with me? Sadly, I had been blind to the wonder that he is until the Bullet magazine photo shoot video came out. All of a sudden it was, "Helloooooooooo, Penn!" I suddenly wanted to see anything that ever had Penn in it! I was immediately overwhelmed by his easy charm and quiet sensuality. He is all things understated sexy, and his talent is endearing. His acting carries a relatability that makes him so easy to watch and enjoy. I may not always have been, but I am now a Penn fan for life.
~TotalDenial (Lisa)



The everyman is a hard, hard character to play, and yet Penn continually makes it both interesting and fun to watch. Everyone knows he nails the comedy, but he also can make the most of the quieter moments, and bring the sex appeal with a lazy grin. Dan's consistently underwritten but I always love to see him light up when he sees Serena or snark with Blair or quietly appraise those around him, even if I have a problem connecting to his larger storyline. What more could you ever ask of an actor?. -CJJ

~ Memorable Quotes ~

I don't read Gossip Girl. That's for chicks.

Jenny: Come on, Dan, Serena said hi to you at a ninth grade birthday party and you've never forgotten it.
Dan: How could I? She was the only person who spoke to me.


Dan [On 100 dollar bills: Do you know how hard it is to break one of those things? I don't know why they even make them.

Dan [On Serena's summer of culture]: So much for eat pray love - well I guess she got the love part right.


Chuck: This isn't over.
Dan: Any time. That one black eye looks a little lonely.


Dan: Right because uh, the world of Greenwich Village Intelligentsia is Dan Humphrey's natural habitat.

Dan: Harboring an Ivy League fugitive? I'm your man

Dan: Remember, we don't have any servants here so if you see anybody else besides me in the loft call the police. It's not the chef.

Dan [To Blair]: I'd like to think that if I needed it, someone would do the same for me, although let's be honest, we both know it wouldn't be you. Oh, no headbands in college.


Gossip Girl: This just in - we hear there's a cold war brewing between Lonely Boy and a certain blue blood.
We never thought we'd say this ourselves...
Serena: There you are. What's going on?
Dan: I'll tell you what's going on. I just became your escort to the ball.
Gossip Girl: ... But our money's on Brooklyn for the win!


Dan: Do they act like this the rest of the movie? Look at the way she's looking at him. That's love. And lust. And... gratitude. And-
Nate: Dude. That's an orgasm.


Dan (to Vanessa): Well, if you wanted to get the perfect shot of me feeling like an outsider, I'm ready for my close-up.

Rufus: You used to cry when I didn't walk you to school.
Jenny: That wasn't me, that was Dan.
Dan: I was six. It was a very emotional time for me, post-tee ball.


{222}Dan (about georgina): Get that Crazy girl outta here!

Jenny: It was like I didn't even exist!
Dan: Mmm. Welcome to my world. It's not so bad when you get used to birds flying at your head and automatic doors never opening.

Dan: Google revenge and you get BlairWaldorf.com.
Dan: You should put a bell on.
Chuck: Kinky. I'll think about it.

Welcome Im Laura

Finally, although Penn Badgley spent part of the evening hanging with "Gossip Girl" co-star Amanda Setton, we spotted him leaving Le Bain's roof around 1:30 a.m. with Zoe Kravitz, who was wearing a long skirt. Before exiting, he gave the actress' rear end a playful slap. Oh, behave!
