Twilight's Newest Hottie Speaks!
We mentioned some exciting casting news last week for all you Twilighters. The role of Riley, Victoria's vampire accomplice in the third Twilght installment, Eclipse, has been given to Australian newcomer Xavier Samuel.
According to reports, Xavier beat out some pretty big names for the role, including the delicious newlywed Channing Tatum and Harry Potter alum Tom Felton. He admits that it was pretty shocking when he heard the news:
"I was up against some truly great actors who I'm privileged to be considered among," he says. "It's a fantastic opportunity.”
It sure is. Just look what it did to the careers of Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Much like the rest of the hunkie vampire flick, Xavier is pretty unknown, having a rather small following down-under in his home of Australia, but this will mark his Hollywood debut.
When asked about his role, Xavier reveals he plays a student: "seduced by the villain Victoria, who manipulates him in order to seek her revenge. That's as much as I know really!”
Good enough for us! We like this Aussie!
What do U think?
I think he is cute but RPattz is always going to be #1 for me
)
gay just like the rest of the twilight boys
team edward
he gets killed anyways…. LOL…… hes only in like a few pages of the book..
ALL aussies are the shiz
REPRESENT
UHH!
he's so hot! they shouldnt put hot people in a movie so bad. oh well, kristen stewart is sure to X out every last bit of hottness in those movies.
they shouldnt put hot people in twilight. its such a bad movie/ book.
He's cute…damn whoever casts these twilight movies really know how to pick em'….but channing or tom felton woulda been kinda cool too…
I think that this guy is pretty cute =)
nooo! ugh. channing tatum would have been GORGEOUS in this movie, but tom felton would have played this role PERFECTLY. well damn. hopefully this guy can rock it out.
He's cuteee
EWW WTF….HOW CAN THIS BETCH BEAT OUT CHANNING TATUM!
Twilight's boys career's are mediocre. The only reason you are saying that is because you masturbate to them you disgusting pig.
YAY another Aussie becoming famous
wow a lot of Aussie's are becoming famous…. I hope I am next hahaha 
and he is super cute 
All he is going to do is get ripped up in little pieces by RPatz at the end.. Not a big part..
He's not that cute. Kind of looks like Hillary Swank's character from "boys don't cry".
teammm jacob.
hes cute though!
This guy looks way to young to be considered a hottie.
…Tom Felton tried out for a Twilight role?
wtf tom, wtf. I am deeply ashamed.
He's cute,
but Tom Felton is waaaaaaay hotter (and probably waaaaaay more talented)!
♥ ^_^ ♥
WHY NO MASCULINE GUYS????????????
Get a new hobby Perez. U ain't gettin nothin that is in hollywood.
he has a lazy eye, that's not hot
Riley is suposed to be blond…
Damn skippy! Australians are the NICEST people (besides Africans from Kenya) I have ever met in my life. Party people. Easy going - just really laid back, great folk. Congratulations to this newcomer!
Anyway…Channing Tatum?!?! Oh my goodness!!!Why didn't they choose him…he would have been GREAT! But this guy's pretty cute…can't wait!!!
QUESTION:How did this guy win over Channing?
And why does someone care about who will play other characters besides Bella, Edward and Jacob. All the other characters are as irrelevant as is the lame story of behind the 4 books ( if there's one)
Tom Felton is not hot. Pale, pimply and feminine looking - oh and homely. Sorry #20. And you British have such fey standards in men. I mean, my god - look at your royalty. Balding and gross. Give me a rugged American man any day.
mmmm…. yummy … sammie likes… what a shame that he's only going to be in the movie for only one scene and then dies…
I think Riley is suppose to be kinda wimpy….. so he should do
I boned an aussie once.. not bad.. aussies are fun to party with that is for sure.. They are hard to understand when they talk.
I hate it how ppl r so mean 2 him. i think he's cute!
He's only in the book/movie to be ripped apart by Seth the wolf, unless they're beefing up the role.
He looks like Hilary Swank in Big Boys Don't Cry.
I personally think they should've picked Tom Felton. He has amazing acting skills.. and I just see him fit the role of Riley way better than this guy.. I've never even heard of this guy. They really need to start picking the RIGHT people for the parts. They're just giving Twilight a bad name..
Tom Felton would be much better. He's great at playing @$$holes. Who is this guy?
Augh! Why do I care…I don't even like the movie :s
Well, maybe Xavier will keep his head and not go prancing around Hollywood like God's gift to women….
Hey check out our music!

Rock!
I think he seems genuinely nice
and cute
Meh….I love the Books of Twilight…the movie is just really gay and everyone of them is gonna suck and does suck….i dont give a flying rats ass what anyone says….But he is cute
There's something about his face that's off…get a better picture!
Nailed it, #16. He does resemble Hillary Swank.
he's hot…but is it just me or does he kind look a little like hilary swank?
Re: palabras –
Yeah, he is. He may have looked a little NOT in the movie, but see him in other photos and stuff, and he's very attractive.
They just made him look like that in the movie.
Seriously, though, shut your fucking mouth, as you really didn't need to bring Royalty and stereotypes into this discussion.
Rugged guys are fug, by the way.
***SPOILER ALERT***
This guy's going to be on screen long enough to get used as a werewolf chew toy. The End. Also, Dumbledore dies. And Bruce Willis is dead the whole time.
he is barely in it.
he comes in at the end then he dies.
who caresssss, i love taylor!
SOOO not hot. And I'm so sick of this Twilight shit I could puke.
AWE DAMMIT! i loved tom felton
pro active litte one. pro active hahahahahpro active litte one. pro active hahahahahpro active litte one. pro active hahahahahpro active litte one. pro active hahahahahpro active litte one. pro active hahahahahpro active litte one. pro active hahahahahpro active litte one. pro active hahahahah
I like that they pick unknowns,whats the point of having someone famous in it? They just get more cocky and more famous,give someone else a turn
He is NOT hot…neither are any of the others.
i hope the authorities are keeping track of your twisted fetishes with young boys. just another example of how you further stereotypes about the gay community that aren't true. most of us are attracted to everyday guys our OWN age (or within a few years give or take). however, i suspect you've never had a real relationship, so you have to fantasize about guys that are a.) straight and b) inappropriately young. you are a sad, silly man.
yayyyy! he's from my city of adelaide!! go the south aussies. good luck!!
he looks like 13 years old though
This dude looks like he's 12 years old.
I'VE NOTICED A TREND WITH BOOMBOOM POW HERE.
HE SEEMS TO LIKE THE PRE-PUBESCENT LOOKING BOYS……..
I love me some Tom Felton though. Although I'm considering putting him on my "dislike" list now for trying out.
As people who already read the books will know, Riley will probably be in a grand total of 10 minutes in the film…if they stick to his part like how it is in the book. He comes in, gets his ass kicked by Edward and Seth, and then dies.
I do have to say he is cute! But Robert is hot & cutter : )
& only bcuz he's going to be on Eclipse doesn't mean his career is going to boost
If you look really close at his eyes, he looks like he has down syndrome.
he looks like he has down syndrome. not hot at all!!
um dude, its really such a minor role in the book, so this big fuss is kinda weird and well, hopefully they don't ruin the movie too much trying to fit this guy in!
I just heard that Pamela Long Wiggins just sucked the left ball off of this loser.
He's a cutie! I'm liking him a lot. Taylor is my guy though.
OMG, *barf* he is SO ewwwy! I can't believe even 15-year olds would think he's hot!
Is he really in Eclipse? I don't even remember reading about him..
LMAO @ #34
He looks like David Arculeta LOL!
Sorry if spelling is incorrect!
Archuleta! Is that it?
Who gives a fuck…twilight sucks.
Yay go aussies
He`s hotter than that fugly shit smelling robert…xD
A friend auditioned for the role also - another Australian - but unfortuneatly even though he is younger then this guy he wasn't vulnerable enough! So annoyed
what! Tom Felton should of gotten that shit.
it's ovbs they wanted a nobody to play this role.
why else would they have turned down tom felton?
he would have had a better responding to fans, and he's already well loved.
Hmmm I'm Aussie and I have no clue who is…then again he is probably on some teen-type soap opera here and not into those. We are taking over the world…slowly LOL!
Ummmm, the kid looks like he is 10. If you think he is hot you are a pedophile, plain and simple
pre much what i pictured but suuuper blonde
He looks just like Van Hansis!!!
Dearest Pretzel,
this kid looks like he's about 12. you are 31. quit being a pedophile.
pfff Tom Felton is way too big for this role.. Xavier is very appropriate though.
Riley is only mentioned a few times.. not even few, maybe more like two.. when he steals bella's clothes and during the 'big fight'.
Robert will always stay number one twilight hottie though!
Australia Represent!
i prefer tom felton
Not hot!
i think T Lautner is SOOOO much hotter than him
THey probably didn't pick the other two (Tom and Channing) because: 1) They've got BIGGER and BETTER things to do. 2) They would overshadow every other actor in that pathetic movie.
He looks like a normal boy, nothing special about him.
HAHAHAHAHAHA what tom felton tired of hp already he needs to stay in his area lol
channing tatum sudve been in in the movie!
haha i love eclipse the book! i can't wait until the movie comes out! and new moon!
MY FAVORITE VAMPIRE IS JASPER!!!!!!!
I met him in Cambodia! He's a really nice guy, and I'm so happy for him that he got the part! He's also extremely handsome. Congratulations X-Factor!
he seems pretty cool . dunno if he d be as good as channing tatum but we ll see… i thought the twilight movie was a bit of a let down , hopefully new moon will be better//
gotta love an AUSSIE
AUSTRALIAN REPRESENT!
WOAH YEAH!
(L)
Thats all he knows about his role??? lame. I'm really annoyed at his lack of sex appeal.
do these like actors even read thee book because they all seem like they know NOTHING about their roles.
Here is my cute list!
1:Taylor Laughtner
2:Robert Pattinson and Shia LaBoef
3:Drake
He dies, Seth the werewolf kills him.
Channing wouldn't do this crap…what a lie!!…
It's a pretty reasonable formula, beautiful androgonous vampire boys should have universal erotic/homoerotic appeal. And for some wierd reason that uneven stare seals the deal for me. Can you say Andy Roddick?
Can somone tell me why this is a big deal? Riley is in like 4 pages of the book, its not like he's going to be some big character in this.
