Biography:

Versatile film and television actor Ed Westwick established his footing on the small screen with roles in Doctors and Casualty before making an impressive leap to the big screen with a small role in director Alfonso Cuarón's critically acclaimed sci-fi feature Children of Men in 2006.

Immediately thereafter, the rising star worked with Oscar-nominated director Anthony Minghella on the romantic drama Breaking and Entering, followed by a part in the television series Afterlife. It was on American television, however, that Westwick found his breakthrough role, playing filthy-rich bad boy Chuck Bass on the hit CW teen drama series Gossip Girl, which premiered in 2007.

He continued to act in films as well, appearing in a supporting part in director Garth Jennings' acclaimed coming-of-age drama Son of Rambow -- a low-budget indie that sparked a heated bidding war in 2007 at the {~Sundance Film Festival}. He also found time to front the U.K. rock band the Filthy Youth.
