CHACE CRAWFORD
as NATE ARCHIBALD

Chace Crawford stars as Nate Archibald in The CW's hit drama "Gossip Girl," from Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage ("The OC"), based on the tremendously popular book series about privileged teenagers in New York City.
Crawford is currently in production on Lionsgate's ensemble romantic comedy "What To Expect When You're Expecting." Kirk Jones ("Waking Ned Devine," "Nanny McPhee") is directing the film based on the book by Heidi Murkoff. The film is a modern look at love through the eyes of four interconnected couples experiencing the thrills and surprises of having a baby, and ultimately coming to understand the universal truth that no matter what you plan for, life doesn't always deliver what's expected. The movie will be released on May 11, 2012.

He recently wrapped production on Bruce Beresford's film, "Peace, Love and Misunderstanding," in which he will star opposite Catherine Keener and Jane Fonda. The movie follows a Gotham lawyer (Keener) who retreats to the farmhouse owned by her hippie mother (Fonda) after her husband asks for a divorce. Crawford will play an anti-war butcher who captures the romantic interest of the daughter of Keener's character.

Crawford will next star opposite Katie Holmes in a romantic comedy called "Responsible Adults." He is also attached to play the role of an accused South African murderer in "The House of Gun," an independent film adaptation of an acclaimed novel from Nobel Prize-winner Nadine Gordimer. Pierce Brosnan is attached to play Crawford's father.

In 2010, Crawford starred in Joel Schumacher's "Twelve," based on the novel by Nick McDowell. He portrays White Mike, a young drug dealer whose high-rolling life is dismantled in the wake of his cousin's murder when his best friend is arrested for the crime. The film co-stars Emma Roberts, 50 Cent and Ellen Barkin.

Crawford grew up in Plano, Texas. He moved to Los Angeles to attend Pepperdine University. His first big break came when he landed the role of Tyler Simms in the film "The Covenant."

Currently, Crawford splits his time between Los Angeles and New York City.
