Two weeks ago, I watched the first episode of GG. I was hooked in by the mystery and the love triangle between S/N/B, however after 3 episodes I started to lose my interest and decided to quit. Then the scene just moved onto a party in which Carter pissed Chuck off by luring Cuck's best friend Nate into SOME SORT OF REAL WORLD, and Chuck made his famous speech--this party is about excess, not exposition, so stop talking, start partying. That's the moment I fell for Ed/Chuck
Other than the awesome lines that really made Chuck the character outstanding in GG, I sensed a great confidence in his acting too. His eyes, his grinning teeth, his body language and the way he delivers his lines, all these together just amazed me. Then I totally remembered his acting in the first two episodes Pilot and the Wild Brunch, which was also vivid, fresh and spectacular. I got addicted, inevitably, so I kept watching GG for Ed/Chuck.
Westwick's multilayered performance, which Savage calls "very cinematic, very 'movie star,' " forced the writers to reconsider. Slowly but surely, Chuck morphed into something far more interesting than a standard TV bad guy.--Sarah Kuhn
That's exactly what I thought when I was watching GG. With the story moving on, his role just grew bigger and bigger, and I believed it was all because of Ed's excellent acting
Have to thank the writers and Leighton for co-operating with Ed so well and they together made Chuck Bass so interesting and delicious.
Such a long confession~
OH there's one thing very wrong tho. Ed you really should wear as many layers as you did in S1 cause that style suits you better~ (only my opinion~Ed fans please don't hit me hard for that~;P)
Upper two show the very first moment I was impressed by his acting. He portrayed his role with such a confidence which made my heart seriously skip a beat.
I love his flamboyant Chuck Bass-ish look in S1 to death.
The very moment I fell in love with this Chuck Basstard when he's making his famous speech.
Chace Crowfort really has a beautiful face but his acting is seriously a bore.
I love stills. He looks so cute in his boy-ish outfit and his signature scarf.
with angel Eric
In S1, Chuck&Blair stole the whole show. They became the most popular couple in GG.
Such a cute couple.
some nice pics
In S2, Ed changed his look in order to give his role some depth, which turned out to be very good. His profile reminds me a lot of Marlon Brando.
so yummy
He can totally pull off Heathcliff if well-directed.
Both Ed and Leighton were nominated by Emmy awarding by their acting in GG
some nice pics
Chuck&Blair became an epic couple in current tv dramas
I don't have a big expectation of S3 but I'll keep watching for Ed/Chuck
