Penn Badgley
Badgley went through vocal and guitar lessons to portray Jeff Buckley, the folk singer following in his father’s Tim Buckley footsteps. The singer drowned in 1997 at 30 as his career was blossoming. Badgley told Soundcheck, “I’d grown up singing, I’d grown up loving and playing music. As much as I loved it it’s kind of strange that I never pursued it, and I think it’s because I started acting at such a young age…” And it worked as his performance was praised for his talented voice.
