Kingsley is getting around games, isn’t he. He’ll also star in a game movie, this month’sPrince of Persiafilm.

“It’s very energising and good for us actors to realise that [acting] is so diverse now,” the actor tellsCVG. “[Games] are as big a jump now as I suppose when cinema was invented, when people went from the stage to the cinema thinking: It’s not really acting, is it? Now, it’s video games – and itisacting. It’s very demanding.”
