Chace Crawford felt he was in 'pretty boy jail'
Chace Crawford felt he was in "pretty boy jail" after Gossip Girl ended. The 39-year-old actor shot to fame playing Nate Archibald in the CW drama from 2007 to 2012 but he spent time in the "wilderness" after the show ended and admitted he feared it would be a struggle to find another role. He told Josh Peck and Ben Soffer on their Good Guys podcast: 'First of all, [people] think actors make a ton more money and have way more agency than we actually do, depending on where you are [in your career]. I felt like I was in the wilderness for years after Gossip Girl. "As big of a show as it was, coming off [it] as a still young guy, it's like, 'That's not cool anymore,' and I'm in this box. I'm in this jail of the CW pretty boy who has no range. I felt that, and I was probably harder on myself than I needed to be.' Following Gossip Girl, Chace appeared in Blood + Oil, but the ABC drama was axed in 2015 after just one season, and he also had a small role in Hulu comedy Casual. He noted: 'It was not lost on me how difficult after those four years of false starts on some TV shows … like, it could be difficult to find another thing." Fortunately, the actor's career has revived thanks to his role as The Deep in The Boys, which premiered in 2019 and is due to end with its fifth season in 2016. And Chace was "really, really appreciative" when the project came his way. He said: "I just remember that audition hitting my inbox and reading the synopsis, I was like, 'That sounds wild!' And then reading the pilot, I was like, 'Oh, this is great. This is so out-there and original and weird. "And the specific role of The Deep, I'm like, 'I know that guy. I know a hundred of those guys.' I instantly felt confident and excited about my take on the character. 'I was really, really appreciative when this happened." Chace previously admitted he "almost had a panic attack" before filming a sex scene with an octopus, who was voiced by Tilda Swinton, for The Boys. He told Rolling Stone magazine: "It's so funny and brilliant now, but when that came up, I was like, 'Oh God, how's this going to work?' "[I was] in total denial about it ... And then it got 24 hours out from the first day I had to shoot it and I almost had a panic attack." Chase decided to talk it over with showrunner Eric Kripke and they managed to put together a plan to make the scene less worrying for the actor. He added: "I called Eric Kripke - he's so great. He's got a million things going on but his door's always open. So I was worried about the scene. "I'm like, 'How are we gonna do this? What are the angles gonna be? How naked do I have to be?' He changed one shot for me. And it was great."

Chace Crawford Was in 'CW Pretty Boy" Jail Post-Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl basically built the careers of stars Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, and Chace Crawford, but contrary to popular belief, starring in a hit teen TV show isn't always a blessing—especially when it comes to finding your next gig. In a recent interview, Chace opened up about his post-Gossip Girl career, saying he felt like he was stuck in a 'CW pretty boy' jail. During an appearance on Josh Peck and Ben Soffer's Good Guys podcast, Chace spoke about the misconceptions people had about him when he finished Gossip Girl's six season run.'I felt like I was in the wilderness for years after Gossip Girl,' he said, per Us Weekly. 'As big of a show as it was, coming off [it] as a still young guy, it's like, 'That's not cool anymore,' and I'm in this box. I'm in this jail of the CW pretty boy who has no range.' The 'CW pretty boy' jail might sound like a dream vacation spot—book me a cell right next to Chad Michael Murray and Scott Speedman, stat!—but for Chace, it was limiting. Looking at his IMDB page, it's not hard to see what the actor is talking about. Though he has consistently been working since Gossip Girl ended in 2012, it took almost seven years before he booked his next big gig, playing The Deep in The Boys. 'I just remember that audition hitting my inbox and reading the synopsis, I was like, 'That sounds wild!' And then reading the pilot, I was like, 'Oh, this is great. This is so out-there and original and weird,'' he recounted of The Boys. The role of The Deep, an earnest, but extremely shallow superhero who can breathe underwater and communicate with sea creatures, immediately stood out. 'I'm like, 'I know that guy. I know a hundred of those guys.' I instantly felt confident and excited about my take on the character.' As for all those years spent in 'CW pretty boy' jail, they made him all the more grateful for his current gig. 'I was really, really appreciative when this happened,' he said. And, don't worry, guys, he's still pretty. He's just a Prime Video pretty boy now.

Man facing abduction charge in Austintown
AUSTINTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – An Austintown man is facing abduction and domestic violence charges following an incident with a woman last week. The woman told police that Austin Chace, 32, grabbed her by the hair and then forced her into a vehicle after she tried to break up with him on May 12. She said Chace told her that he was going to kill her and that the only way she was leaving was in a body bag, according to a police report. The report states that a person in the neighborhood witnessed the incident and that Chace begged the person not to call police before leaving in a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Police did receive a call two days later, but said officers were unable to locate the vehicle or suspect at that time, the report stated. The alleged victim of the assault went to the police station on May 14 to report that it was the first time that she was able to get away from Chace. She showed police videos of Chace threatening to kill her, as well as photographs of damage she said Chace caused to her vehicle, according to the report. Officers arrested Chace at a location on Idaho Road on Sunday. He faces a felony abduction charge, as well as misdemeanor charges of domestic violence and criminal damaging. He was scheduled to appear in court for his arraignment on Monday afternoon. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Phillies pitching prospect Moises Chace rockets up rankings since joining organization
Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Moisés Chace described starting in the Spring Breakout Game as a "beautiful experience." Just a year ago, Chace was a 20-year-old middling prospect in the Baltimore Orioles system. A lot has changed in a year, as Chace has risen up the prospect rankings since getting traded to the Phillies -- and is certainly on the radar as a potential part of this team's major league rotation in the future. The Spring Breakout Game was Chace's opportunity to back up what the Phillies have seen in him. "It's a new experience for sure," Chace said through a translator at BayCare BallPark Friday. "I'm just staying true to myself and embracing my surroundings. I enjoyed being around the best of the best." Chace showed why the Phillies believe in his upside, pitching a 1-2-3 first inning in starting the Spring Breakout Game Friday as the Phillies won 5-3 over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He threw two strikeouts in one inning of work, in large part due to a cutter that has favored him well since arriving in the Phillies organization. He used the cutter on one of those two first-inning strikeouts. "I like the speed and deceptiveness of the pitch," Chace said. "They've really been emphasizing the fastballs high in the zone, the sliders, the velocity of that pitch, and the other pitches I'm mixing in as well." Chace's career certainly turned for the better since being traded to the Phillies as part of the Gregory Soto deal last July. In Baltimore's minor league system, he started nine of 17 games pitched for High-A Aberdeen, throwing 53 innings while holding opposing hitters to a .201 batting average. Chace struck out 76 and walked 30 while having a 3.46 ERA. The Phillies started Chace in High-A Jersey Shore, but it only took him two starts to get called up to Double-A Reading. Chase went 2-1 with a 3.66 ERA in his four starts, holding opponents to a .200 average while striking out 35 and walking seven. He's elevated to the No. 5 overall prospect in the Phillies system (per and the No. 2 pitching prospect behind Andrew Painter. The change of scenery has benefitted Chace, as 2025 will be a huge year for his development. A good start in Double-A Reading and Chace could be on the fast track to the major leagues as soon as next year. The Phillies are banking on that being the case. "I really enjoy the way they manage the pitchers, the way they manage the workload," Chace said. "I've enjoyed their approach to managing my workload...I'm feeling great and working on building (my game) up."
