our next guest is the psychopathic serial killer but not in real life he's that exclusively on the widely celebrated show you season three of you is on Netflix now please welcome Penn Badgley [Music] I have to tell you something Penn Badgley is a very strong name I mean you could be anything from a senator to a real estate agent with a name like that that's a wide spectrum yeah yeah is that a pen is that a family name because there aren't many there's no Gillette and that's kind of it right yeah I mean there's um well there's William Penn uh well there's a lot there's Sean Penn a lot of sure sure last name pen sure no it really comes from a tennis ball that's actually the the extent of the story I was I was I think about the size of a tennis ball that's what my mom said to my father bouncing a tennis ball and that was how it happened wow yeah good thing it wasn't a wiffle ball you would have a very dumb name or Dunlop that's the joke Dunlop yeah Dunlop or Wilson I guess or uh uh slazinger could have been your name you probably got the best of all the choices yeah I think so so your show also by the way is uh well not that your name is confusing it isn't the show name being you must be yes it's a pronoun problematic obstacle like people must say to you I love you on you I just get I just get you [Laughter] you're obviously the lead character on the show but then you're doing the the internal dial of the voiceover yeah the narration is it proper to call it narration it's narration it's I think it's it's a lot of narration it's more than that it's like it's I would say 80 of my lines if not more are are actually voice over so most days I go to work and I I actually don't have any lines often I'm just I'm just looking and then sometimes because the camera's so close to my my face while I'm having all these thoughts they can't even get a person in front of the camera so I'm just looking at x's on the map box of the camera and then and then my stand-in Danny is reading all the thoughts and an entire scene and sometimes it's like a four page scene and the people the other actors in the scene are like you know they've got pages of um whatever they're saying but sometimes it just actually just you know it's just a drone in the background while I'm thinking so it's a very it's like a it's very technical and um that's strange it it is it's straight it's I have grown to like it it's also it can be a bit isolating but it's also again the the highly technical dance with the with with the crew is actually something you don't get to do a lot as an actor and I really like that you have to time it all right very much go back and fit in the spaces well no actually I do the voiceover before Oh you do and it just works out magically we haven't messed with the formula it just works and it's a very different process yeah it's I heard you started on a children's radio station and in Seattle yeah actually my first shop was on a radio station in Seattle yeah it was not for children it was for um older men okay yeah like we played Sweet Home Alabama a lot okay yeah yeah but um What station was that well it was called Kid star I don't know that there was like maybe a thousand people who've heard of this and so it was like four kids all kids DJs I I mean DJs no so there were like I think behind the behind the veil it was it was all adults to be honest oh really no I mean it was like you know adults writing stuff in kid lingo well and then like the I think kids had a lot of input from what I recall I would do um I would do like a like a like a fake newscaster thing and and there was like storytelling and but there were no kid DJs it was how old were you at this time I mean I was 9 10 something like that I didn't even learn to read till I was 12.
