Who could resist Dan Humphrey and his voice of reason? Just like we did, Hollywood fell in love with Penn Badgley. Soon after the show's end, he was cast in leading roles in projects like "Parts per Billion," "Cymbeline," and "The Paper Store" (via IMDb). In 2014, his band MOTHXR started to hit the ground running as some of their songs went viral on multiple platforms (via VICE). Less than year after, they released their only studio album to date, "Centerfold" (via Concord).
Badgley's most popular role to date has been playing the sociopathic killer, Joe Goldberg, in the hit Netflix series, "You," which is currently filming its third season (via Deadline). Fans have been falling for his character, Joe, for years now, despite Badgley telling them to stop in multiple tweets, considering the character's tendency for, well, murder. He said of the isolating nature of playing Joe, "Yeah, at times it's exhausting and isolating, just inherently. Because I spend a lot of time — even when I'm in scenes with other people — I'm alone" (via Indie Wire).
As for his personal life, Badgley has been married to fellow singer, Domino Kirke, since 2017 and in August 2020, they gave birth to their first child (via PEOPLE).
