William Moseley

William Moseley is an English actor, best known for his portrayal as Peter Pevensie in the 2005-2010 The Chronicles of Narnia (film series).


Personal life and career[]

Moseley was born on April 27, 1987 in Sheepscombe, Gloucestershire, England in the Cotswolds, the son of Julie and Peter Moseley. He has two younger siblings: Daisy and Benjamin.

Moseley attended Sheepscombe Primary School from September 1991 to July 1998, and then continued his education at Marling Grammar School, Stroud. As a 7-year-old, he used to listen to the Chronicles of Narnia audio tapes. He read the books eight years later in preparation for his role as Peter Pevensie.

Casting director Pippa Hall was responsible for casting William as an extra when she was filling roles for Cider with Rosie (TV) back in 1998. Seven years later, when casting for the film, she remembered him and recommended him for the role of Peter. From the first day of auditioning for the role of Peter Pevensie it took a further eighteen months before he officially won the role and was cast. He beat more than 3,000 other boys to the role of Peter. He had to repeat Upper Sixth because he had taken so much time off school while filming The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

He is close friends with Narnia co-stars Anna Popplewell, Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes and Ben Barnes.
