17 Faces Penn Badgley Makes in Netflix's You That Prove His Acting Skills Are Incredible

Penn Badgley [1] may not have many spoken lines on Netflix's You (it's all in the narration! [2]), but he knows what's up when it comes to making the most of his screen time with one key acting skill: his facial expressions. In an instant, Badgley is able to switch around his expressions to mask or unmask Joe's thoughts with a level of precision that makes his character even more unsettling. Does anyone else remember the time he totally flipped out on Beck [3] during season one for locking him in his own glass cage? Yeah, that was not a pretty sight.

During an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert [4], Badgley admitted that the unique acting skill comes to him naturally. "It is shockingly simple," Badgley admitted. "It does not mean it's easy — although, sometimes it is."
