When i initially saw him i thought Oh no, he's too young. But i can imagine him acting well and portraying a great Roger, age aside. I think he's perfect xD
I have read your coments and seen the picture of Roger, this is an old picture of him, watch this space. : 🙂
anyone know how old he is now?
Anyone know who will be playing Billy Costa??
Once again, people are over-reacting and hissy-fitting because an actor doesn't fit THEIR idea of what the character should look like. Only Mr Pullman himself really knows what the characters should look like and EVEN HE is flexible. HE WANTED SAMUEL L. JACKSON FOR LEE SCORESBY FOR GOODNESS SAKES. So I wish everyone would reserve harsh judgements until AFTER they see the end product.
JV – YOU ROCK!!!
I think that with just a little work – different hair, some dirt on his face 😀 – he can be a perfect Roger.
my brother could be roger compared to that guy !! :angry:
It was a nice surprise to see Ben as Roger on film as I used to teach him Music (where he was top of the class). Great boy but was often absent due to filming commitments.
What do you think now you’ve seen the film?
