Chase Crawford’s character inThe Boysis like a well-groomed lion in a room full of alley cats. He playsThe Deep, a hero with the looks of a Greek god and the ego to match. But underneath that shiny exterior, he’s about as deep as a kid’s pool. Think of him as the poster boy for good looks and bad decisions.
In a recent interview, the actor delved further into his character, making readers realize that he’s no better than Antony Starr’s iconic Homelander.
Chace Crawford’s The Deep is No Better Than Antony Starr’s Homelander
Originally spoofing Aquaman,Chace Crawford‘s The Deep amps up fish jokes and throws in some white male privilege. In Season 3 ofThe Boys,his twisted humor remains, and the way he just changes colors like a chameleon is just brilliant.

But with a darker turn as he murders a senator for Homelander, solidifying his loyalty to The Seven. It’s a stark change for a character once seen as a hero in Sandusky, Ohio, then joining the Church of the Collective before returning to The Seven under Homelander’s control. Chace Crawford, in an interview withDiscussing Film, revealed how complex yet foolish his character has been. He said,
From the outset, he represents this male privilege a–hole who’s kind of a baby. The origins of The Deep, we don’t know yet. We might need to do an origin story on The Deep. The way I see his back story, he grew up as this good-looking guy who was privileged but was also bullied for the gills.
That’s the source of his insecurity. He felt like a freak and there was like an X-Men feeling there of being an outcast. His only real friends were the marine life or the lobsters down by the pier, so I always thought that was funny but that’s also where that insecurity is coming from.
He further explained,
He’s a sycophant to Homelander, he sucks up to him and there are probably some parallels in politics that people can draw from. Somehow, the writers have dovetailed a lot of huge topics, like they write this way before and actually shooting the show makes it take longer to come out. Yet, they’ve been clairvoyant on certain aspects of things that are happening in the real world and Kripke always says “What’s bad for the world is good for our show.” So it’s really unfortunate that certain things are happening, but he pulls from it and ties it to the story because it’s such a great lens to show these things through. It’s not a surface-level superhero show, it’s a subversive satire and that’s why it’s brilliant.
No matter what decisions or actions his character might take, he’s undoubtedly an ingredient that makesThe Boysshow better.
