He's still young at 24, but Cox has been in seven films and a couple of television series in his native England.

On the phone, talking from Los Angeles during the media blitz promoting Stardust, Cox sounds self-possessed and rather more mature than his character in the film. Perhaps it's his English accent: Americans always seem to think it makes a person sound more intelligent.

At any rate, Cox, despite being run through the publicity wringer, gives thoughtful, considered answers.

Question: How many interviews have you done today?

Answer: Hundreds of thousands. It feels like a lot, but I'm getting used to it. This film has been a massive part of my life for over a year. I have another day doing PR here, and then a junket in London in October, and then Berlin, Australia and Tokyo.

Q: Why did you get into this business in the first place?

A: I always wanted to act. My parents never wanted me to be a lawyer or anything, they've been entirely supportive and encouraging. There was a time when I was going to try to be a photographer, and I did work as an assistant to one for about eight months, but, really, from the age of 15, when you start thinking about what you want to do as an adult, it was acting for me. I didn't have a Plan B.

Q: Why "Charlie?" Isn't that a little casual for a British actor?

A: There are lots of Charlies in England, and, besides, it's my name: I was christened Charlie, not Charles.

Q: You've been in a lot of period pieces and science-fiction or fantasy stories. Is it that accent that brings those parts?

A: It's a contributing factor. I haven't gone out of my way to find those parts, but it just happened along the way. I had long hair for a while, and that helped, too.

Q: Do you want to make a contemporary drama?

A: I'm ready to do something modern. I'm midway through shooting a Scottish heist film right now, called Stone of Destiny with (director) Charles Martin Smith. It's set in the 1950s, but that's more contemporary than I've done before.

Q: You've done stage and film. How are you at memorizing your lines?

A: Learning lines is the least difficult part of my job. . . . When you do a play, you have to know the entire script, but in film, you learn your scenes each day, but I'm lucky - learning lines is easy. Touch wood.

Q: What's the hardest part of your job?

A: Finding a way of playing a scene that is real. Sounds obvious, but it's really tricky. That's what we as actors endeavor to do and what I find most interesting: Understanding to the best of my ability the human condition and why we act and react as we do and bring that to the character.

Q: Sienna Miller or Claire Danes?

A: Can't answer that question and wouldn't know where to begin. It's entirely unfair to answer that question. Sienna sometimes gets a hard time from critics, but she's a great actress, really. I'm fond of the movie and it's close to my heart now, and I'm proud of all of us. I'm only too happy to sit and talk about it.
