Thanks to flame-eternal for the heads up about this new interview with Ben from ComingSoon.net!

ComingSoon.net: I think you might have already had this role lined up when we first met on the set of “Prince Caspian,” is that right?
Ben Barnes: Not on the set I didn’t. I got this after I finished, I went to L.A., and I got this while I was there. I just got an Email from Steph, “I saw you in ‘Stardust,’ you have to do this film, that’s it.” And then he wanted me to send a tape of one of the scenes, which I then did in L.A. and I sent to him and he then gave me the part. He said (puts on Aussie accent) “I never give actors parts without actually meeting them,” and I was like, “Well, you just did.”

CS: Were you familiar with Noel Coward’s work? You went to drama school so you must have known some of it.
Barnes: I actually went to university. I did English and drama at university, which is more academic. It’s more critical analysis, but I got to read a lot of plays and write essays about them, read a lot of books and poetry, and I think that’s very helpful when you’re reading and analyzing scripts that you’re going to be involved with.

CS: And was Noel Coward one of the playwrights you read or liked?
Barnes: Not particularly. He wasn’t my biggest influence, but I had seen a couple of his plays and read a few and liked them very much. “Blithe Spirit” is a tremendous premise, which has been used over and over again. Read more.
