In the very relevant new drama film Lions for Lambs, cute 24-year-old Brit actor Andrew Garfield plays a bright, promising American student who is just at college to party with his frat. Seeing that he's wasting his amazing potential, his professor, played by the iconic Robert Redford, tries to turn him around. This is a film about getting involved in your own life and the world around you, taking a stand and, when we met with Andrew recently off Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, he told us that the movie was a wake-up call for him and should be for all of us.

Here's the info on Andrew; lots of curly brown/blonde hair, big brown eyes and that killer Brit accent. For our interview, he was casual in jeans and blue, long-sleeved shirt topped by a sweater. The guy looks so much like Harry Potter's Emma Watson that he could be her older brother!

TeenHollywood: Okay, you are a Brit playing an American college student. How did they pick you for this movie? [he's very good BTW]

Andrew: I was the last person to be cast I think. Bob [Redford] is like crazy. I was like 'why are you even considering me?' I had read the script and thought 'this is so of our times'. I was really inspired by it. It quite honestly and directly, reflects how a lot of our society is behaving at the moment. It made me feel guilty and it made me feel just ashamed of my lack of action, my lack of responsibility for things outside my very immediate circle. I thought, 'if I can be involved in this in any way, I'd love to'. I thought it was a wonderful story.
