Today’s The Independent on Sunday newspaper has a lengthy feature about the modern child star in film and television. It makes reference to the pressures on Dakota Blue Richards, who is rumoured to be earning 100,000 GBP for The Golden Compass movie. However, much of the article’s focus is on actor Ben Walker, who plays Roger in the film. Speaking to journalist Hermione Eyre (herself a former child star) he discusses amongst other things how to cry on set. There is also featured a summary of the child acting career of Freddie Highmore, voice actor for Pantalaimon. You can read the article in full here.

Out of all the ‘child stars’ in TGC, I must say that the best actor was definitely the boy who played Billy Costa. He was superb.
Annabel, he did play his part well but he only had a minor role and did`nt have much to do. I think that Lyra and Roger are fantastic and they have something really sweet and special on screen. Did you the the article in the Sunday Independent on Roger, he looks so small on screen but he is really cool and sweet!!
