Spoiler threads from the former Ed Westwick board: 1, 2
Words people say about him...
"Extremely polite, well-prepared, mind-blowingly talented. I’m always staggered by how he can assume the American accent at will. A great guy. Completely different from his character" - Norman Buckley
"This guy is an unbelievable actor. What a great presence, and what a unique actor that you don't normally see on TV or in teen dramas." - Josh Schwartz
“Ed is exremely charismatic and comfortable in his own skin. But he’s also very vulnerable, which translates into his work and makes an otherwise obnoxious character like Chuck so accessible to audiences.” - Leighton Meester
"There are a few different Ed Westwicks. He’s hilariously entertaining and has an undeniable spark about him. To say he’s sensitive sounds cheesy, but there’s a definite artistic sensitivity that makes him and his character so complex.” - Chace Crawford
“Ed Westwick is, to me, a bit of a modern Marlon Brando. He has the appeal of a great Fifties actor but is very modern at the same time." - Tom Ford
“Ed is just completely unique. He inhabits his character fearlessly and totally commits.”
“Once we saw him read for Chuck, there was no one else." - Stephanie Savage
