Twenty-six year old Ben Barnes only started his professional acting career in 2006, in an episode of the TV series Doctors, but he’s already getting credited for several movies. (Though he did appear as a performer, under the moniker Hyrise, on Making Up Your Mind and Liquid News, both in 2004.)

His first movie was Stardust, but he’s getting recognized for his appearance as Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. It’s the second movie in the series, based on the third book in the classic fantasy novel series by C.S. Lewis. It opens May 16th. Barnes will also be in the followup, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in 2010, as well as Bigga Than Ben (2008) and Easy Virtue (2009).
