British actor Skandar Keynes entered the limelight as a teenager, when tapped by producers to play Edmund Pevensie in Walden Media's big-budget 2005 installment of C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The success and critical acclaim afforded by that assignment (which did not constitute Keynes' debut role, but followed two low-key appearances on English television) led to successive film appearances as Edmund in additional installments of the Narnia series, beginning with 2005's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
