Sam Tunney on The Mountain

Seventeen-year-old Penn Badgley returns to The WB as Sam Tunney, the best friend to Shelly Carver (Tara Thompson) in The Mountain. Badgley previously starred in The WB's comedy Do Over.
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 during this experience that Badgley discovered his love of acting. This passion brought him to Hollywood one summer, where he landed an agent and his first big break guest-starring on Will and Grace.

After relocating with his mother to Los Angeles, Badgley secured several recurring roles on The Young and the Restless, The Brothers Garcia and Daddio. He recently guest-starred on The WB's What I Like About You, as well as The Twilight Zone. Film work includes the acclaimed provocative independent The Fluffer.

Badgley was recently accepted to the University of Southern Calfornia, having already completed his California High School Proficiency Exam. He will defer his admission until his work schedule allows him to return to school. Also musically gifted, he enjoys singing, writing and playing the guitar. In his spare time, Badgley likes to go surfing, skiing and snowboarding.
