He might never have been Dan Humphrey.
Gossip Girlalmost had a different lonely boy.
There was one in particular that stood out, though.
One I got close on wasBreaking Bad.
It was between me and Aaron Paul, we tested, he explained.
Actually, that was the best television script Id read at that point.
That was the one that got away.
(He also reprised the role inNetflixsEl Caminomovie in 2019.)
I tested against three other guys.
I knew it was really between me and this other guy.
Penn Badgley was one of the guys that was testing, Paul recounted.
It was so long ago that Im blanking on the two other guys.
I did not recognize them at the time.
But this other guy just really…
In a good way!
He was justinthe role.
I was like, This guy is going to steal it from me.
Even so, the actor recently admitted toVarietythat he didnt want to be in television at the time.
I was biding time a lot with Dan I was not invested, he explained.
And Im not saying its a good thing!
Im saying its just what it was.
Had Badgley played Jesse Pinkman first, though, he mightve added a b*tch to the end.
