am i the only one that thinks he looks ...umm..... mentally not there?
laugh//.....//L.

NO OFFENCE THOUGH!!^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lyra at heart age 13: on 02/10/2007
Yeah.. not my Roger and I agree with L!BBY on this one, he looks a bit simple here, but hey it's his acting skills that count right?
Emily: on 02/11/2007
All I can think at the mo is when they do the next film - PLEEEEEASE for the love of God, get Will right . . .
: on 02/14/2007
he looks adorable, he?Ǭ¥s not how i pictured him, but im not dissapointed at all.
...: on 02/15/2007
he does look a little young and simple for his age.... but there is nothing wrong with that...
i dont want it to become a growing trend though where they make all the performers look younger than they should be... if will looks like a teenager and lyra still looks so young there will be problems...
hb: on 02/16/2007
5000 times better than the other picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maegan: on 02/17/2007
I always imagined Roger a bit older... oh well
Jack: on 02/17/2007
I imagined him black :S
dont know why
but thats probably because thats what he looked like in the theatre version
Reedie_Belacqua: on 02/17/2007
well, that's really wrong because lyra's blond xD
Reedie_Belacqua: on 02/17/2007
you were talking about Lord Asriel, rght?
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 02/17/2007
No, I think Jack is talking about Roger....
As Lyra would put it: I dunno.
Reedie_Belacqua: on 02/18/2007
Oh,, well
i made the comment thinking that he was talking about lord asrel.
If he was talking about rger, lyra has nothing to do with his skin color xD
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 02/18/2007
Yeah, Roger could have any skin color and Lyra could look NOTHING alike.
But if it's Asriel then Lyra would have a mixed skin color and it doesn't happen in the book.
Reedie_Belacqua: on 02/18/2007
exactly
and well, i think roger hasn't dark skin anyways
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 02/18/2007
Yes. I imagined Roger a bit older and again, like Dakota, sruffier.
Gosh, I stink at spelling....
Reedie_Belacqua: on 02/19/2007
oh, well... this roger is really close to how i picture him!
i'm really glad
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 02/19/2007
Mmmm.... I didn't think this was how I thought he would look...
I'm just me: on 02/22/2007
I think it's pretty good!
Suppose he's laughing at something Lyra says or does
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 02/23/2007
Yeah!! She's probably pretending to walk along the side of the roof or something to make him laugh.
sntXrrr: on 02/24/2007
i'm very happy to see a shot on top of a roof. This means it is likely we will be seeing Lyra running on rooftops doing mischief!

plaidskirtedheros: on 02/25/2007
okay, he looks like a mouse, but he's awesome. Ditto, emily. i will never watch another movie in protest if they screw up will. please, director dude, where ever you are, do Will right.
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 03/05/2007
I know. Please do Will right!
Witch_Queen: on 03/10/2007
I agree with L!BBY, he looks a few sandwiches short of a picnic. (no offence to actor or anything!) Nope, they screwed Roger up.
khila: on 03/13/2007
He looks like he's six years old. Seriously.
Seal: on 03/15/2007
I second/third emily & plaidskirtedheros, if they mess up will, im not going to bother watching the last movie (well, i will but you know what i mean, kinda...) ;-
Fox: on 03/17/2007
Whee! ROOFS! That?Ǭ¥s good. Running and jumping and climbing (and sitting) in the heights! Well done!
Thor: on 03/19/2007
If they screw up will- i'll be damn narked. especially if he looks about 10
northern lights fan: on 03/26/2007
he's ok i guess
MCH: on 03/31/2007
GIVE THE GUUY A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whether he's your ideal Roger or not, it doesn't mean you've all got the right to have a go at what he looks like - he can't help that. All that counts is that he acts his best and that he fits well into the feel of the film as a whole - you can't tell if he's going to do that from one picture. Remember, a film is a different medium entirely to a book. And nobody can change that. if you want something identical to the book, go ahead and reread it. This is the director's and the actors' interpretations we'll see on screen, not yours. So learn to live with it.
northern lights fan: on 04/12/2007
calm down MCH!!!! we are meant to comment and give our OPINIONS on these photos and if we all learn to live with it this page would be full of comments like 'he's perfect' dont know what u think but that is not INTERESTING
Anna (moomin): on 04/13/2007
I agree with northan lihgts fan, we are entitled to our own opinions that's why they set the sight up in the first place. If we give thoughts on the next book (film) then maybe, just maybe they will incorperate thoughs ideas into the next film.Like for incedence they will get Will perfect (because they should).
Veniaros: on 04/18/2007
He is scruffy enough to be Roger, but he seems a wee bit young to me, an its fair to offer opinions as he is an important character for the first movie after all!
Will NEEDS to be perfect, correct look and age etc, has to be the kind of actor who you look into his eyes and see that fierceness, just how Will is described in the books :P
Lyra at heart age 13: on 04/20/2007
I always imagined Roger older than Lyra by atleast a year. This guy looks about 6.
Witch_Queen: on 04/21/2007
My Roger had longish hair and was at least a year maybe two years older than Lyra.
spiky: on 04/23/2007
he should be older nevertheless.at lest he captured the look.but plz have Will older plz plz plz!!!!
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 04/25/2007
I hope they get Will right. *crosses fingers* But Roger looks 7. He's not my Roger and Dakota's not my Lyra.
Katie: on 04/25/2007
If Roger's a kitchen boy, he'd probably be well-scrubbed, actually. These stills makes me want to bring up archaic values. Dx Umm. Kitchen boys would have to look presentable, if they needed to be sent on errands to a moment's notice, and cleanliness seems to be something stressed upon at Jordan in the books.
Talamis: on 04/27/2007
I don't know... I think he looks pretty good. I always imagined Roger as being a little younger than Lyra, mostly by the way he sort of follows her around and does what she wants. As for Lyra and Will... I do believe they are only about 11 or 12 at the beginning, but I could be wrong. Though, I would agree that they seem much more mature.
ellie: on 05/01/2007
he looks like my little bro =] but aww hes cute
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 05/03/2007
I don't really know how I imagined him... I just know that this isn't Roger.
Maria: on 05/05/2007
Yeah u have a point Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle
azza: on 05/07/2007
i agree with you pan_kirjava_isabelle he looks to... childish to me
Par: on 05/23/2007
This boy is SO not Roger. I imagined him as an alien of diminutive stature with bluish purple skin and wearing a toga.
Rei: on 05/23/2007
I pictured him older than this... And he looks like a gremlin! (No offense, though... ^_^")
Ama: on 05/28/2007
He's not quite how I pictured (I'm so original >
Lyra&Pan: on 06/04/2007
Umm, he looks like a five year old...They should hire an older actor.
Lyra&Pan: on 06/18/2007
Aha....
Fallen Authority: on 06/20/2007
The children all look right in the age I expected them to be young.
h: on 06/22/2007
Roger looks younger than I expected though. I imagined him just to look a few years older.
megan: on 06/30/2007
awwwh he looks adorable! But he dies =[
Nessa: on 07/03/2007
I it was imagining a few years older than Lyra ...
He looks so baby, no?
I think that they chose it according to personality and not with the description of the book.
HDM fan: on 08/31/2007
he looks a bit like a rat, doesn't he?
Witch_Queen: on 09/15/2007
Maybe a gremlin...no offence to the actor or anything...
Hope: on 10/28/2007
Guys & Girls, he might just look younger than he really is and lucky him if he is, I say him in sweeney Todd with Ray winstone and he was brilliant. Why have we not seen more of him as I agree with Veniaros he is an important Character and is what the books are all about.

Dang...I imagine Roger to look more charming then a....Simple smiling boy...i wonder how they will act in that "Hell" Scene and that
"Lyra's Dreaming" Scene..=.=||
Well no offence tho,,
Witch_Queen: on 11/07/2007
You mean the land of the dead, I would call it 'hell'.
SuperSpence: on 11/07/2007
Hey... is it just me, or does he look like the kid who played Colin Creevey (sp) from the Harry Potter movies? I'm thinking the Chamber of secrets...?
Annais: on 11/08/2007
Hmm, maybe a little bit, but I don't think it's him
Claire xx: on 11/27/2007
Ben is soo sweet! I Love him he makes a fab Roger, he is only young but I he plays Roger perfectly! When I met him he looked quite diffrent, I guess they edit it a bit. Well done, Enjoy the movie. Lol
:)

ellie: on 12/02/2007
roger's not supposed to be too smart though is he? he's just a servant. i think the actor is really sweet and a good roger. can't wait till will comes in the 2nd movie
lyra belacqua: on 01/09/2008
where did you met him?
Hope: on 07/04/2008
What is happening with the sequals then, I recently saw Ben on torchwood and he was good. Does anyone else know what he is up to these days.
Llama...: on 02/07/2009
