Penn Badgley

He has a prominent role on "Gossip Girl" if you are into Teen drama shows.

Really? I'd never see him before either but personally thought he was very average in this. Doubt he's ever done more than teen horror type movies.

Agreed ... I was especially impressed by the one moment when he starts tearing up at his father letting him down yet again.

At that moment, he truly shows us Michael's not wooden and unemotional; he just acts that way to protect himself from the unreliable adults in his life.
