(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Ben Barnes says he wants to make films involving guns.

The 29-year-old actor is best known for his role as Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia films Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Ben doesn't want to be typecast in fantasy roles involving period sword fights for the rest of his film career and is keen to get to grips with a new challenge.

"I still get lots of offers to play royalty and [for] films with swords in them. The industry loves to pigeonhole you, and most actors do everything they can to not have that happen, so I say, No, I want to do something with a gun ...'" he said in an interview with Wonderland magazine.

Ben sees his movie career as an opportunity to be "cool". The British star, who most recently appeared in Killing Bono, says he looks forward to receiving various film scripts as a way of bringing variety into his life.

"I rely on this job to give me spontaneity. I'm not an adventurer. I rely on this job to make me cool..." he added. (C) Cover Media
