Other Information |
He is the eldest son of Peter Moseley, a cinematographer,
and Julie Fleming.
He has a younger sister Daisy (b. 1989) and a younger
brother Ben (b. 1992).
As a 7-year-old, he used to listen to the Chronicles of
Narnia audio tapes. He read the books eight years later in
preparation for his role as Peter Pevensie in the film
adaptation The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe (2005).
He had to repeat Year 12 because he had taken so much time
off school while filming The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion,
the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005).
Casting director Pippa Hall was responsible for casting
William as an extra when she was filling roles for Cider
with Rosie (1998) (TV) back in 1998. Seven years later, when
casting for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch
and the Wardrobe (2005), she remembered him and recommended
him for the role of Peter.
From the first day of auditioning for the role of Peter
Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch
and the Wardrobe (2005), it took a further eighteen months
before he officially won the role and was cast.
He attended Sheepscombe Primary School between September
1991 to July 1998.
He auditioned, unsuccessfully, for the role of Harry Potter.
Because of his major growth spurt, he had to have his armor
modified weekly during the filming of The Chronicles of
Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005).
Grew three inches during the filming of The Chronicles of
Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005). |
