Skandar Amin Casper Keynes (born 5 September 1991) is an English actor. He is best known for starring as Edmund Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia film series. He has appeared in the first two installments, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, and will star in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, due in 2010.
Keynes was born in London, the son of Zelfa Cecil Hourani and author Randal Keynes.
His maternal grandfather, the Lebanese Cecil Fadlo Hourani, is a former advisor to the late Tunisian president Habib Bourguiba, as well as a famous cook; Cecil Hourani is also the brother of Albert Hourani, a major historian of the Middle East. The Hourani family were immigrants to England from Southern Lebanon (Deir Mimas, Lebanon.)
On his father's side, Keynes is the great-great-great grandson of biologist Charles Darwin, through whose paternal grandmother Mary Howard he is descended from Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk (uncle to both Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard) therefore making him distantly related to Queen Elizabeth I, and King Edward I. Keynes is the great-great nephew of the economist John Maynard Keynes and the nephew of the historian and Cambridge professor
