Father's Day With One of TV's Sexiest Dads: "Gossip Girl" Star Matthew Settle

With an IMDB page longer than the NYC phone book, Gossip Girl star, Matthew Settle (aka Rufus Humphrey) has certifiably played them all.

From his memorable Captain Ronald Speirs role in “Band of Brothers” to his guest starring performances on some of TV’s hottest shows including “Brothers and Sisters”, “CSI”. “Law & Order”, “The Practice” and “ER”, the prolific actor not only has a full plate but as well, and most certainly, loads of talent.

Playing rocker dad Rufus, father of Dan and Jenny on the internationally popular television series Gossip Girl since 2007, the forty-something years old North Carolina native-turned-New Yorker is spectacularly living up to the challenge of successfully juggling fatherhood, singlehood and Hollywood and loving every minute of it. 

And what’s not to like? Hailed as TV Sexiest Dad, Settle, is enjoying a long run on one of TV’s hottest drama-filled series with a role that is getting meatier season after season. His alter ego Rufus now finds himself in a much talked about love triangle with his wife Lily ( Kelly Rutherford ) and her ex ( William Baldwin ), who happens to be the estranged dad Serena ( Blake Lively ) has been looking for all season.

While there’s never a shortage of drama, when it comes to Gossip Girl

While Settle successfully took on a multitude of unforgettable roles, his ultimate“role of a lifetime” came to him in his “real” non-fictional life in the form of fatherhood as he is continuously polishing his craft as a single dad to daughter Aven , after surviving the ups-and-downs of his divorce to ex-wife, Israeli actress-model, Naama Nativ.

As the devastatingly handsome actor is readying for the worldwide theatrical release of his upcoming motion picture comedy “So Undercover” playing professor Talloway opposite his co-star, international teen sensation, Miley Cyrus, Matthew Settle was gracious enough to take the time out of his busy schedule to ‘settle’ down (pun intended) for a minute and give us the latest gossip on his life, Gossip Girl, and his upcoming projects.

 

How did the role of “Rufus” on the CW show “Gossip Girl” come to you?

It was during pilot season and I was auditioning for a series of shows. I had gotten the script and read it. Having watched a lot of the CW shows, I understood how the network worked and they were filling a specific niche targeting teenagers. I knew that If they got the right cast it would be a hit. Turns out it was!

Is it LIVE with 'Mark & Kelly' or 'Andy & Kelly ... - Real TV Critics

First there’s Mark Consuelos who just happens to fill in the seat next to Kelly when Regis is out but also wakes up next to her every day taking the role of her husband and baby daddy.  The former soap star is one of the names being bantered back and forth as Regis Philbin’s replacement.  Upside, they get along.  Downside, what if they don’t get along.  And what happens for vacations, you know together?  Tough choice.

Andy Cohen from Bravo is also on the list of names.  With Bravo, owned by NBC and every network slicing at the talent pool at that newly Comcast merged network, this could be a good for for LIVE is not talking.  So we wait.  Though plenty of time for a decision.  Expect a name by September.
