The Cast

BEN BARNES' (Prince Caspian) first Hollywood motion-

picture starring role is the title character of C.S. Lewis' second

adventure in the land of Narnia.

Barnes is a veteran of the British stage. The 26-year-old U.K.

native studied drama at Kingston University and was a member of

the National Youth Music Theatre, where he debuted in "The Ballad

of Salomon Pavey" at the age of 15. His other credits with NYMT

include "The Ragged Child," "Bugsy Malone" at the Queen's

Theatre, "The Dreaming" and "Andrew Lloyd Webber's 50th

Birthday" at the Royal Albert Hall.

Most recently, Barnes triumphed onstage again, winning rave reviews for his role of the charming, manipulative predator, Dakin, in Alan Bennett's award-winning play, "The History Boys," which had its West End premiere at London's Wyndham's Theatre.

Other British stagings include "Sex, Chips & Rock n' Roll" at the Royal Exchange in Manchester, "Loving Ophelia" at the Pleasance Theatre, "Judi Dench & Friends" gala at the Kingston Rose Theatre, as well as the workshop productions of "Blag" and "Talking to Mr. Warner" at the Chocolate Factory.

His recent film roles include the lead character of Cobbakka, a Russian delinquent who runs riot in London, in the independent feature "Bigga than Ben," and a featured role in Matthew Vaughn's ("Layer Cake") recent big-screen fantasy, "Stardust." He also co-starred for director Simon West ("Lara Croft: Tomb Raider") in his recent CW network telefilm, "Split Decision" and just completed a co-starring role opposite Jessica Biel and Colin Firth in Stephan Elliott's romantic comedy, "Easy Virtue."

WILLIAM MOSELEY (Peter) reprises his role as Narnia's High King, who returns to the enchanted land with his three siblings, not to replace Caspian but to help the young prince save Narnia from tyranny under the reign of the evil Miraz. Prince Caspian represents Peter's final appearance in the series.

Moseley (now 21 years old) had his first motion-picture starring role in the first "Narnia" film, for which he earned nominations for the Saturn and Young Artists Awards.

The son of English cinematographer Peter Moseley, Moseley is

a native of Gloucestershire in the Cotswolds area of England. He was first spotted by casting director Pippa Hall almost a decade ago (while in primary school) when she was casting the 1998 English TV movie "Cider with Rosie," based on Laurie Lee's memoirs about his childhood in the Cotswold Valley (coincidentally, the village next to the young actor's own). Hall kept her eye on the budding talent over the ensuing years, which led to his first audition for "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" 18 months before filming commenced in June 2004. Hall's casting partner, Gail Stevens, cast him in the 2002 SMG telefilm "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," his first professional role.

ANNA POPPLEWELL (Susan) returns to the land of Narnia as older sister Susan, this time showing a softer, more emotional side (unlike her pragmatic persona in the previous adventure). In the midst of the forming battle, she finds herself falling for the young, handsome Prince Caspian. The film represents the teenage Susan's final appearance in the series.

Popplewell made her professional acting debut in the 1998 television adaptation of du Maurier's novel, "Frenchman's Creek." She has appeared in such other feature films as "The Little Vampire," "Me Without You" and "Mansfield Park." Her television

roles include "Dirty Tricks" and the BBC costume dramas "Love in a Cold Climate" and "Daniel Deronda." Prior to her role in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," the 19-yearold beauty appeared as Vermeer's eldest daughter in Peter Webber's globally acclaimed drama, "Girl with a Pearl Earring."

Born and raised in London (the daughter of a barrister father and doctor mother), she is the eldest of three siblings, all of whom have attended Allsorts, a children's drama class. Her sister Lulu appeared in Richard Curtis' "Love, Actually," and her brother Freddie was Michael Darling in P.J. Hogan's 2003 film, "Peter Pan." Following her work on PRINCE CASPIAN, Popplewell began her studies in English Literature at Magdalen College, Oxford, where author Lewis spent much of his academic career.

SKANDAR KEYNES returns in the role of Edmund Pevensie, the younger brother who, after betraying his siblings for his own selfish gain during the Pevensie's first journey through Narnia, redeems himself by fighting on the side of good against evil. Though still a boy, he has gained in wisdom and his courage has strengthened as the four Pevensies embark on this new adventure to assist the young Prince Caspian in overthrowing his evil uncle, Miraz, who has usurped his throne.

Keynes is a 16-year-old actor who first appeared at the age of

nine in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of "Macbeth" for TV. He immediately followed with another TV part as a Victorian waif in Jonathan Meade's docudrama for BB2, "The Victorians."

In 2001, Keynes played the world-famous Italian racing driver Enzo Ferrari as a child in Duemila Productions'biopic "Ferrari." It was in 2004, shortly before the start of filming, that Keynes was cast as Edmund Pevensie in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."

GEORGIE HENLEY (Lucy) returns as the youngest of the Pevensie siblings. With her memory of Aslan resonating strongly with her, Lucy remains a child at heart in the second story. It is her gift for insight, understanding and relentless faith that helps her family and companions overcome Miraz's reign and restore Narnia to its former glory.

Henley made her professional acting debut in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." The 12-year-old from Ilkley, W. Yorkshire, in the north of England, was already a member of a local drama club called Upstagers, where she was discovered by casting director

Pippa Hall in a countrywide casting call for the film launched in June 2003. Henley won the role over 2,000 other hopefuls.

For her work in the first film, Henley collected numerous awards and nominations from organizations around the world. She won the Phoenix Film Critics Award (Best Performance by a Youth in a Support or Lead Role, Female), the Michael Eliot Trust Award (Child Star of the Year), the Total Film Award (the Dakota Fanning prize for Best Child Actor) and theYoung Artists Award (Best Performance/Feature Film-ages ten and under).

Additionally, Henley earned nominations as Best Young Actress from the Broadcast Film Critics Association, Most Promising Newcomer for the United Kingdom's Empire Awards, Best Breakthrough Performance from the Online Film Critics Society and Best Newcomer from the Chicago Film Critics Circle.

Since her debut in the first "Narnia" film, Henley played the young Jane Eyre in last year's BBC production of "Jane Eyre."

PETER DINKLAGE (Trumpkin the Red Dwarf) is well known to movie audiences as Finbar McBride, the despondent loner who moves into an abandoned train depot after the unexpected death of a friend, in Thomas McCarthy's acclaimed comedy-drama, "The Station Agent." For his performance in the endearing film, Dinklage was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award (as Best Actor and as part of the film's Best Ensemble Cast) and the Online Film Critics Association Award.

Dinklage, a New Jersey native, studied his craft at Vermont's Bennington College before furthering his studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and the Welsh School of Music and Drama in Wales.

He made his film debut in Tom DiCillo's 1995 independent comedy, "Living in Oblivion." He followed with appearances in John Hamberg's "Safe Men" (opposite Sam Rockwell, Steve Zahn and Paul Giamatti), Michel Gondry's "Human Nature" (written by future Oscar® winner Charlie Kaufman), Alexandre Rockwell's "13 Moons" (reuniting with co-star Steve Buscemi) and the romantic comedies "Never Again" and "Just a Kiss" before triumphing in "The Station Agent," which won acclaim at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival.

Since that auspicious big-screen starring debut, Dinklage has worked on over two dozen projects, most notably in Jon Favreau's popular holiday classic, "Elf "; Sidney Lumet's courtroom drama, "Find Me Guilty"; the acclaimed FX series, "Nip/Tuck"; "Lassie" opposite Peter O'Toole; "Tiptoes" with Gary Oldman; "The Baxter"; and the recently completed features "Penelope" (with Reese Witherspoon), "Death at a Funeral" (directed by Frank Oz), "3/5 of a Man" and "Underdog."

On the small screen, he guest-starred on "Third Watch," "I'm with Her," "Life as We Know It" and co-starred opposite Brent Spiner on the CBS series "Threshold."

Dinklage's stage work includes the title role in The Public Theatre's production of "Richard III," "I Wanna Be Adored," "Hollywood," "Imperfect Love" and Charles Sturridge's production of Beckett's "Endgame" at the Gate Theatre in Dublin and The Barbican Theatre in London. Following his work on the film, he returned to the stage at the Acorn Theatre's "Things We Want," which marked the Off-Broadway directorial debut of actor Ethan Hawke.

WARWICK DAVIS' (Nikabrik the Black Dwarf) roles have taken the veteran actor from his roots in Surrey, England, to galaxies far, far away, to the magical world of J.K. Rowling's Hogwarts, and to C.S. Lewis' fantastical land of Narnia in a career spanning over two decades.

Davis began his career purely by chance as a boy in 1981. His grandmother heard a radio announcement calling for people under four feet tall to appear in the new "Star Wars" film, "Return of the Jedi." Originally cast as a background player, Davis' gestures were so characteristic of George Lucas' vision of an Ewok that he was

recast as Wicket, who became one of the film's lead creature characters. After the huge success of the third "Star Wars" epic, Lucas made two Ewok movies for ABC television, "The Ewok Adventure" and "Ewoks: Battle for Endor," with Davis reprising his role as Wicket in both projects.

Two years later, the 3'6" talent was called to Elstree Studios in London for a meeting with producer George Lucas and director Ron Howard about a new project called "Willow," with the title role written specifically with the actor in mind. The project, in which he co-starred alongside Val Kilmer, allowed Davis to showcase his acting talent beyond the portrayal of strange creatures hidden behind special makeup, earning him a Saturn Award nomination from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror.

Following that big-screen success, the teenage Davis was immediately back in front of the camera, this time for the small screen, in yet another fantasy epic. He was cast in two series for the BBC-playing the swashbuckling mouse, Reepicheep, in the Narnian adventure "Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader," then returning to C.S. Lewis' wondrous world as Glimfeather the Owl in "The Silver Chair." He next followed with his first villainous role in the cult horror classic, "Leprechaun," whose success spawned no less than five sequels over the years, with Davis returning to the title role in each.

In 1997, he returned to filmmaker Lucas' famous galaxy far, far away in "Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace," in which he essayed three roles in the film. In addition to the characters of Wald and Weazel, he also played the famous Jedi Master, Yoda, for scenes where the character was required to walk.

In 2001, the literary phenomenon Harry Potter became a cinematic one, with Davis playing two characters (Professor Flitwick and the Goblin Bank Teller) in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" for director Chris Columbus. He reprised the role of Flitwick in the next four sequels, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (again for Columbus), "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and the sixth in the series, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince."

The career next launched him back into space, this time hitching a ride as Marvin the Paranoid Android in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," the big-screen adaptation of Douglas Adams' beloved novel. He also recently played the supporting role of Oberon, the jazz club MC who introduces singer Ray Charles to the performing world in Taylor Hackford's Oscar®-winning "Ray."

His other credits over the years include "Labyrinth" (alongside David Bowie), the NBC telefilm "Gulliver's Travels (co-starring opposite Ted Danson), "Prince Valiant," "A Very Unlucky Leprechaun," "The New Adventures of Pinocchio," "The White Pony," the groundbreaking NBC miniseries "The 10th Kingdom," the BBC sitcom "The Fitz," the ABC telefilm "Snow White," the gangster caper "Al's Lads" and two BBC productions, "Dr. Terrible's House of Horrible" and "Murder Rooms: The Kingdom of Bones." He recently completed a role in "Small Town Folk," played himself in an episode of Ricky Gervais' wicked industry satire, "Extras," and will next write, produce and star in the action film "Agent One-Half."

As well as the many roles on the big and small screen, Davis has trodden the boards of theaters throughout the United Kingdom. In addition to numerous appearances in "Snow White," he has appeared as Smee in "Peter Pan" and as the Genie in "Aladdin."

Davis also maintains his own website-www.warwickdavis.co.uk.

SERGIO CASTELLITTO (King Miraz) has been called "one

of the most popular Italian actors for international audiences since

the heady days of Mastroianni and Gassman." In addition to his

lengthy acting career encompassing work in films, in television and

on the Italian stage, Castellitto is also a noted writer-director, with

his most recent directorial achievement, "Don't Move," in which he

starred opposite Penelope Cruz, triumphing as one of Italy's biggest

critical and commercial successes of 2004.

Castellitto and Cruz won Italy's David di Donatello honors for

their respective leading performances, with the film (based on the Strega-winning and bestselling novel by his wife, the acclaimed Italian writer Margaret Mazzantini) earning nine other nominations, including Best Film and writing and director nods for Castellitto. The film was also showcased in 2004 as part of a retrospective of the actor-director's work by the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

Born in Rome, Castellitto graduated from the Silvio D'Amico National Academy of Dramatic Art in 1978. He began his theatrical career in Italian public theater with Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" at the Teatro di Roma and with roles in other plays such as "La Madre" by Brecht, "Merchant of Venice" and "Candelaio" by Giordano Bruno. He next starred at the Teatro di Genova in the roles of Tuzenbach in Chekhov's "Three Sisters" and Jean in Strindberg's "Miss Julie," both under the direction of Otomar Krejka. Over the ensuing years, he also starred in such theatrical productions as "L'Infelicita Senza Desideri" and "Piccoli Equivoci" at the Festival Dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, as well as "Barefoot in the Park" by Neil Simon and "Zorro," a monologue written for him by his wife, Margaret.

He continued working in Italian cinema with some of the industry's finest young auteur directors, such as Marco Colli ("Giovanni Senzapensieri") and Felice Farina ("Sembra Morto Ma E' Solo Svenutoi"), for which Castellitto also served as the subject and screenwriter. In 1986, he co-starred with Vittorio Gassman and Fanny Ardant in Ettore Scola's epic saga, "La Famiglia" ("The Family"), which earned an Oscar® nomination as Best Foreign Film and won five David di Donatello awards, including Best Film.

He next reunited with actress Fanny Ardant in Margarethe von Trotta's "Paura e amore" ("Love and Fear"), then co-starred alongside Jean Reno and Rosanna Arquette in Luc Besson's acclaimed drama "Le Grand Bleu" ("The Big Blue"), which earned a Cesar nomination as Best Film. He won his very first David di Donatello prize (as Best Supporting Actor) for his role alongside Gian Maria Volonte in "Tre colonne in cronaca."

As the 1990s grew to a close, the actor turned his talents to directing his first feature, "Libero Burro," also co-writing the screenplay with his wife, Margaret Mazzantini, his co-star in the film. The production earned Best Film honors from the Los Angeles Italian Film Awards.

In 2001, he reteamed with director Ettore Scola in his acclaimed drama, "Concorrenza sleale" ("Unfair Competition"), then gained international acclaim as Ugo, the artistic director of an Italian theater troupe visiting Paris, in Jacques Rivette's "Va savoir." He next starred as the temperamental chef in the acclaimed international comedy "Bella Martha" ("Mostly Martha," Best Actor-European Film Award), then triumphed again in the bittersweet Italian comedy "Caterina va in città" ("Caterina in the Big City"), winning his second Nastro d'Argento Critics Award. He earned another Donatello nomination (his third) for Marco Bellocchio's award-winning drama "L'Ora di religione" ("My Mother's Smile").

LIAM NEESON (voice of Aslan the Lion) has become one of the leading international motion-picture actors today. Whether it is his Academy Award®-nominated role of Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg's highly acclaimed "Schindler's List" (1993), his award-winning portrayal of legendary Irish Republican hero in "Michael Collins" (1996) or his role as controversial sex therapist Alfred Kinsey in the critically acclaimed "Kinsey" (2004), Neeson continues to display an acting range matched by few.

In 2007, Neeson completed production on Pierre Morel's "Taken," which is due out in the

U.S. later this year. Neeson stars as an ex-soldier trying to track down the Albanian slave masters who have kidnapped his daughter. Currently, Neeson is filming Richard Eyre's "The Other Man" opposite Laura Linney, and he recently completed production on THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN, where he reprised his role as the voice of the lion, Aslan, in the sequel to the 2005 box-office success "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."

In 2006, Neeson graced the screen in the classic revenge drama "Seraphim Falls" opposite Pierce Brosnan. In 2005, he appeared in Ridley Scott's crusades epic "Kingdom of Heaven." He also co-starred that year in "Batman Begins," directed by Christopher Nolan.

Neeson's portrayal of Alfred Kinsey in Bill Condon's "Kinsey," co-starring Laura Linney, garnered him a Best Actor award from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Prior to that, Neeson co-starred with Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley in the Working Title film "Love Actually" (2003), written and directed by Richard Curtis.

Neeson returned to Broadway in 2002, co-starring with his friend Laura Linney in Arthur Miller's classic "The Crucible." Mr. Neeson's performance as John Proctor earned both him and Linney a Tony® award nomination.

In 2001, he starred opposite Harrison Ford in the true story of Russia's nuclear submarine tragedy entitled "K-19: The Widowmaker" and starred opposite Sandra Bullock in the black comedy "Gun Shy" (2000).

Neeson starred in the box-office phenomenon "Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace" (1999) in the role of Qui-Gon Jinn, the Master Jedi Knight who bestows his Forceful wisdom upon Obi-Wan Kenobi and the young Anakin Skywalker. In the same year, he starred opposite Catherine Zeta-Jones in Jan De Bont's "The Haunting" (1999).

In addition, he starred in the screen adaptation of Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables" in the role of Jean Valjean, co-starring Geoffrey Rush, Uma Thurman and Claire Danes. Also that year, Neeson played Oscar Wilde in David Hare's new play, "The Judas Kiss," which opened in London's West End and subsequently on Broadway.

Neeson starred in the title role in Neil Jordan's "Michael Collins" (1996) for which he received Best Actor honors at the Venice Film Festival, a Golden Globe® Best Actor nomination and London's prestigious Evening Standard Award for Best Actor. The film also received the highest honor in Venice-The Golden Lion Award.

It was in 1993 when Neeson received worldwide attention for his starring role in the Academy Award®-winning film "Schindler's List." In addition to winning an Academy Award® nomination for Best Actor, he was nominated for a Golden Globe® and BAFTA Award.

The Irish-born actor had originally sought a career as a teacher after attending Queens University, Belfast, and majoring in physics, computer science and math. Neeson set teaching aside and, in 1976, joined the prestigious Lyric Players Theatre in Belfast ("The best training any actor could have"), making his professional acting debut in Joseph Plunkett's "The Risen People." After two years with the Lyric Players, he joined the famed National Theatre of Ireland, the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. Neeson appeared in the Abbey Theatre Festival's production of Brian Friel's "Translations" and a production of Sean O'Casey's "The Plough and the Stars" for the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, England, where he received a Best Actor Award.

KEN STOTT (voice of Trufflehunter) is a triple threat in the English performance world, an Olivier Award-winning veteran of the British stage, television and films.

Born in Edinburgh in 1955, Stott was educated at George Heriot's School, where his father was Dean of the English Department. He next trained at Mountview Theatre School and began his acting career at the age of 18 at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast, Ireland.

He spent the next ten years doing repertory (in places like Belfast, Ipswich, Manchester and Plymouth) before landing his first lead role in "Through the Leaves" at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. When the play transferred to London, the 30-year-old actor began attracting notice and, a year later, was performing at the Royal National Theatre. Over the next few years, the Scot established his reputation as one of Britain's finest performers, garnering numerous nominations and awards, including an Olivier Award as Best Supporting Actor for "Broken Glass" in 1994. He earned a second nomination for "The Recruiting Officer" at the National Theatre.

His early stage work includes The Royal Shakespeare Company productions of "Henry V," "Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2" and "The Merry Wives of Windsor," before winning larger roles in Tennessee Williams' "The Rose Tattoo," Moliere's "The Misanthrope" and Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," in which he starred as Willy Loman opposite Jude Law as his son, Happy.

But it was his part in the initial cast of the West End hit "Art" (earning his third Olivier nomination) with Albert Finney and Tom Courtenay at Wyndham's that really brought him into the limelight. With his stage career on hold while winning acclaim on British television in the late 1990s, he returned to the West End boards in 2001 in Brian Friel's "Faith Healer" at the Almeida Theatre in King's Cross. More recently, he starred opposite Richard Griffiths and John Hurt in the drama "Heroes," returning to the Wyndham's in London's West End in 2006.

While working to establish his name in the repertory theater world, Stott debuted on English TV with a role in "The Secret Army" in 1977. Although small roles ensued over the next two decades in a variety of programs like "Your Cheatin' Heart" and Dennis Potter's "The Singing Detective" on the BBC, he won acclaim as the alcoholic hospital deejay in the BBC black-comedy miniseries "Taking Over the Asylum," which won the BAFTA award as Best Drama Series.

He became a familiar face on the BBC in such series and programs as "Mug's Game," "Rhodes," "Stone, Scissors, Paper," "Messiah," "Vicious Circle" and a mainstay on ITV in the five seasons of "The Vice," starring as Det. Inspector Pat Chappel (BAFTA-nominated for his work in 1999). That show, one of the U.K.'s most popular series, drew an estimated 10 million viewers weekly. He most recently won praise over two seasons in the title role as Scotland's favorite anti-hero cop in another ITV series, "Rebus."

While establishing his profile on the stage and television, Stott also found his way into motion pictures, making a dramatic debut in a brief (30-second) appearance as a 16th-century Spaniard in 1983's "Being Human." He later had supporting roles in a wide variety of films, from the Oscar®-winning short film "Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life" (with Richard E. Grant) to the musical spectacle "A Beggar's Opera."

He won his first major film role as the alcoholic coach Ike Weir in Jim Sheridan's "The Boxer" (after co-star Daniel Day-Lewis saw his performance onstage in "Art" and suggested him for the part) and, two years later, starred in his first lead role opposite Billy Connolly in the dark thriller "The Debt Collector," a part written expressly for him. He played the sadistic Chance in Jake Scott's "Plunkett & Macleane" (alongside Liv Tyler, Robert Carlyle and Jonny Lee Miller) and also co-starred in such motion pictures as Danny Boyle's "Shallow Grave," Antoine Fuqua's "King Arthur," Lasse Hallstrom's "Casanova," Mike Hodges' "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" and Bill Forsyth's "Being Human."

Stott's most recent screen work includes his role as Zvi Rafiah in Mike Nichol's film "Charlie Wilson's War," and he is currently starring in Yazmina Reza's new play "God of Carnage" at the Gielgud Theatre, with Ralph Fiennes, Tamsin Greig and Janet McTeer.
