5 Chace Crawford movies and shows to catch if you like him as The Deep in The Boys 

Chace Crawford’s role in Amazon Prime’s The Boys has undoubtedly helped further his career, but it was already on the up. Crawford plays the role of the Deep, in some ways, a weakened version of DC’s Aquaman.

The Deep can talk to aquatic beings, has gills on his body, and is also considered sexually attracted to fish and octopi, a species whose intellectual capacity he often defends. At the same time, the Deep is not the smartest human being around and spends much of his time on The Boys being manipulated by arguably the series’ major villain, Homelander.

However, here we look at five other roles of the actor in which he has excelled.
