Ben Barnes burst onto the movie scene back in 2008 and since then he has building up his career with a wide range of different roles.
He tackles the romantic comedy this week as he is part of the all star cast of The Big Wedding, which is directed by Justin Zackham.
While Barnes did have some early TV roles - not to mention a bit of a music career - it was in theatre where he really kicked off his career and enjoyed some early success.
The role of Dakin in The History Boys was to be the stage role that really got him noticed as the show was a hit in the West End in the mid noughties.
He made his big screen in 2007 with a small role in Matthew Vaughn's fantasy film Stardust, however he would have to wait another twelve months to gain his big break.
That break came courtesy of director Andrew Adamson who cast the fresh faced Barnes in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
Barnes was to take in the role of Prince Caspian in that movie alongside William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley, who were reprising the roles of Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie.
The adaptation of the C.S. Lewis classic was a hit at the box office as it went on to gross in excess of $419 million worldwide.
Barnes himself was nominated for Breakout Male gongs at the likes of the Teen Choice Awards and the MTV Movie Awards and his film career was up and running.
But the British actor didn't just stay with blockbuster roles as he went onto period drama with Easy Virtue, an adaptation of the Noel Coward play, and the thriller Dorian Gray.
However he would return to the role of Caspian for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
This was the third Narnia movie to hit the big screen and it enjoyed similar box office success to its predecessor.
While Barnes was having this big screen success he didn't turn his back on the theatre as he returned in 2010 for a production of Birdsong.
The play is based on the novel of the same name by Sebastian Faulks and saw Barnes take on the central role of Stephen Wraysford, a soldier during the First World War.
But this week he is back as he teams up with Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon and Amanda Seyfried for the new comedy The Big Wedding.
The movie follows a charmingly modern family trying to survive a weekend wedding celebration that has the potential to become a full blown family fiasco.
The Big Wedding is the first of two movies that we will be seeing Barnes in this year - and we are really looking forward to The Seventh Son.
The movie is a big screen adaptation of the first instalment of Joseph Delaney's dark fantasy novel series The Wardstone Chronicles titled The Spook's Apprentice.
Barnes will take on the role of Tom Ward, the seventh son of the seventh son, who is the new apprentice of Master Gregory - played by Jeff Bridges.
Bridges and Barnes are joined on the cast list by Julianne Moore, Olivia Williams, Alicia Vikander and Djimon Hounsou while Sergei Bodrov is in the director's chair.
And Barnes is also working on crime drama God Only Knows, which sees him team up with Leighton Meester, Harvey Keitel and Toby Jones.
The Big Wedding is out now.
