In a recent interview with the “Good Guys” podcast, Chace Crawford opened up about how he was typecast in similar roles to that of Nate Archibald on the CW’s hit show, Gossip Girl.
“I felt like I was in the wilderness for years after ‘Gossip Girl,’ because as big of a show as it was, coming off of it as a still young guy, [I felt like], ‘Oh, that’s not cool anymore,’” said Crawford. “I’m in this jail of the CW pretty boy who has no range.”
“It was not lost on me, how difficult after those four years of some false starts on some TV shows, it could be difficult to find another thing. I was really, really appreciative when this happened … after being on something like ‘Gossip Girl.’ [It’s] not that I took it for granted, it was so fresh and I was so young, that by the end of it, you inevitably have taken some of it for granted.”
