Biography |
Chace Crawford was born to Chris and Dana Crawford, on July
18, 1985 in Lubbock, Texas. Chace is an American actor best
known for his portrayal as wealthy kid, Nate Archibald on CW
Network's hit series, Gossip Girl.
Chace grew up in Plano, Texas. His father is a dermatologist
and his mother is a teacher. Chace also has a younger
sister, Candice, who is studying broadcast journalism at the
University of Missouri-Columbia. Candice is also involved in
pageants, winning the Miss Missouri USA title in 2008.
Crawford played football and golf in high school. He
graduated from Trinity Christian Academy in 2003. After high
school, he moved to Malibu, California to attend Pepperdine
University where he was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity.
While studying in Pepperdine, Chace considered to be doctor
like his father.
Many did not know this but the 6' star grew up struggling to
identify a career path between advertising, business and
communications majors. In the midst of his second year in
school, Chace's mother, Dana Crawford, encouraged him to
pursue acting. Until today, he credits her for making him
take this step. In fact, his mother states that "it was a
practical move", based on a career aptitude test he had
taken in high school which revealed that he was best suited
for a career in the performing arts.
Right after looking for a proper management, he got signed
to an acting agency and then gave full priority to acting.
In 2006, Chace appeared in Lifetime's television movie Long
Lost Son, where he plays the son of Gabrielle Anwar's
character. That same year, he starred alongside Steven
Strait, Taylor Kitsch, Sebastian Stan and Toby Hemingway in
the horror/thriller movie, The Covenant.
The year 2007 was a big break for Chace. He became one of
the leads in CW's drama Gossip Girl. Among his cast members
on the show are Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester & Ed
Westwick. In the year 2008, Chace was seen in the movie
Loaded, opposite Jesse Metcalfe. He also got involved in the
independent movie, The Haunting of Molly Hartley with Haley
Bennett. His other guest appearance includes a stint on
Family Guy in the episode titled "The Former Life of Brian".
Other than being involved in more acting projects, the year
2008 proved to be an even better year for Chace as he won
the Choice TV Breakout Star Male at the Teen Choice Award.
Recently, Chace was seen hanging out with his Gossip Girl
co-star, Leighton Meester at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
in New York City as well as the Stand Up To Cancer event.
As of recent time, Chace is said to be extremely focused on
acting. He hopes to be more involved in bigger acting
projects in the future. With dreams as big as this even
after he is being this well-known, there's definitely more
to expect from Chace himself. |
