An emerging young British actor trained at
The National Youth Theatre in London,
Westwick was recently seen in two high
profile features. He played the role of Alex
in Alfonso Cuaron's "Children of Men,"
opposite Clive Owen and Julianne Moore.
Westwick was also seen playing the role of
Zoran in Anthony Mighella's "Breaking and
Entering," opposite Jude Law, Juliette
Binoche and Robin Wright Penn.
Ed Westwick currently stars as Chuck Bass,
an overly confident and sexy bad boy, in The
CW's new drama "Gossip Girl," from the
creator of "The O.C." Josh Schwartz. The
show is loosely based on the tremendously
popular book series about privileged
teenagers who attend an elite private school
in New York City.
Westwick will next be seen in the film "100
Feet," a supernatural thriller written by
directed by Eric Red. Starring alongside
Famke Janssen and Bobby Cannavale, Westwick
plays Joey, a handsome Brooklyn delivery boy
who delivers groceries to Janssen's
character, who is under house arrest. It is
not long before they begin a heated affair.
He will also be seen in "Son of Rambow," an
independent film directed by Garth Jennings.
Westwick plays Lawrence, a bully and
surrogate father figure to his devoted
younger brother. "Son of Rambow," which
premiered at this year's Sundance Film
Festival, caused quite a buzz at the
festival, selling to Paramount Vantage for
the highest amount at the festival.
Additional credits include guest leads in
"Afterlife" for ITV1, "Casualty" for the
BBC, "Doctors" for the BBC and "Dream Team"
for Sky One. When not filming |
