Biography
Ben Barnes was born in London, England to Tricia Barnes and Thomas Barnes. He has a younger brother, Jack.

Ben Barnes was a singer in the boyband Hyrise, which was in the running to represent the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004. Barnes began working in television in 2006. He later starred in Suzie Halewood's Bigga Than Ben, which was released in October 2008 in the United Kingdom.

In February 2007, it was announced Barnes would play the role of Caspian in the film adaption of Prince Caspian. Adamson said "Caspian is a coming of age and, to some degree, a loss of innocence story, with Caspian starting out quite naïve, then craving revenge and finally letting go of the vengeance." While many readers interpret Caspian as a child, a passage in the novel mentions his age to be near that of Peter's, so an older actor was sought to match William Moseley.

In January 2010, Barnes began filming Killing Bono which is directed by Nick Hamm. Filming started at the beginning of January in the City of Lisburn.
