British actor
Born: January 28, 1993
Will Poulter is an English actor, recognized for his performances as Lee Carter in Son of Rambow (2007), Eustace Scrubb in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010), and Kenny Rossmore in We’re the Millers (2013). Will was born in Hammersmith, London, the son of Caroline (Barrah), a nurse, and Neil Poulter, a professor of cardiology. His mother was raised in an Anglo family in Kenya, where her own father was a prominent game warden at the Maasai Mara wildlife sanctuary.
Poulter was educated at the Harrodian School, where he participated in drama. He said in an interview that his drama teacher (Laura Lawson) encouraged his audition for the Hammer and Tongs film, Son of Rambow (2007), by knocking on his English class window and mouthing “auditions” while pointing at a flier. He was later cast as the spiky-haired delinquent “Lee Carter.” Laura Lawson was also responsible for the E4 comedy sketch show, School of Comedy (2009), in which Poulter appears portraying various roles, such as “Mr. Mills” and a South African security guard.
Will Poulter’s 5 most popular quotes
- It’s difficult to tell whether people are looking at you because they recognize you from your work, or whether it’s just because you’re six foot three and have the eyebrows of Satan.
- I wasn’t really happy in school and didn’t really have anything else going for me; I wasn’t really good at anything. Drama was at least something I loved and was really passionate about.
- I love the process of auditioning and having the chance to play a million different characters in one week – it’s great.
- Kissing scenes are never romantic or sexy, they’re actually super technical, like, “Move your head, you’re blocking her light,” or, “Stop looking like an idiot when you kiss her.” You do it again and again because of the camera angles and takes and whatnot. So by the end of it, it’s not even kissing. All the anything is totally drained out of it.
- I barely read. I’m not a good reader at all. Rather than reading, I used to sit in front of the TV and watch black-and-white cowboy movies. I’m a painfully slow reader. It’s really bad as an actor, because you have to read a lot of scripts. It takes me like an average of three hours to read a script, which is pretty poor.
