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?
Does he have down syndrome?
too bad hes doesnt have a very big role but who knows im sure hollywood will work their magic and give him a bigger part then he had in the book
grrrr i wanted tom felton to play him but now i dont cause hes goin to die in the movie so fewwww
i would of prefered Channing Tatum but i dont see why ppl are slating the guy above, u can do that after he's been in the film, if he is crap that is
daaammnnnn
he's so cutee, i cant waitt
CROSS EYED FREAK!
Perfect.
Just perfect.
ew. He looks like Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry lol
Yeah, Taylor & Robert had legitimate roles in the story. Riley says one word and screams a bunch. That's it. He'd have to do some hella great acting to make a Pattinson-sized career out of that.
im auditoning for the part of "Bree" in eclipse =)
it doesn't really matter does it? all of the twilight movies will suck because of kstew… and the fact that they are barely like the books which ROCKED! every character should be way hotter than they are in the movie…
