  • Georgie Henley - Lucy Pevensie
  • Skandar Keynes - Edmund Pevensie
  • William Moseley - Peter Pevensie
  • Anna Popplewell - Susan Pevensie
  • Tilda Swinton - White Witch
  • Liam Neeson - Aslan (voice)
  • Ray Winstone - Mr. Beaver (voice)
  • Dawn French - Mrs. Beaver (voice)

Batman Begins

   Posted by: Fence   in Moving Pictures

  • Christian Bale …. Bruce Wayne/Batman
  • Michael Caine …. Alfred
  • Liam Neeson …. Ducard
  • Katie Holmes …. Rachel Dawes
  • Gary Oldman …. Jim Gordon
  • Cillian Murphy …. Dr. Jonathan Crane
