Benjamin "Ben" Thomas Barnes is an English actor and singer. He stars in Netflix's television series Shadow and Bone as the Darkling. Ben also co-narrated the audiobook for The Lives of Saints with Lauren Fortgang, and co-narrated the audiobook for the graphic novel Demon in the Wood.[1]
Ben was among many popular fancasting choices for the Darkling before he was cast for the role in 2019.[2] Since early 2012, Leigh Bardugo would occasionally post fancasts of the Darkling on her Twitter page and Ben Barnes was a reoccurring readers' choice.[3][4][5]
