In the movie "Twilight", many actors performed their roles almost perfectly, as the picture deserved world success. New characters appeared in different parts, and the composition of the working group was replenished. The main people who played central roles in the film are discussed in the article. Here you can see the characters and actors who played them.
Main love line
In the movie "Twilight" the actors were well matched for the main roles. The play of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart only confirms this. The man got the role of the eccentric vampire Edward, who fell in love with the girl, only hearing her smell. Before that, he could be seen in theatrical productions, and the first major role was participation in the Harry Potter epic, where he introduced a character named Cedric Diggory.
Before the picture âTwilightâ, the main role of Kristen Stewart was considered the daughter of the main character in the work âRoom of Fearâ. The showing of the timid and clumsy girl Bella attracted the attention of the public, and therefore since 2008 she can be seen in a variety of works.
Family heads
In the film "Twilight" the actors are far from all known to the general public. For example, Peter Facinelli got a secondary role and before that appeared only in some little-known works. He was on screen in the image of Carlisle Cullen - a vampire who was the first to give up human blood and founded his own family from different people. Participation in the film helped the actor in his future career. He got used to the role of a doctor, and therefore he had no difficulties with the execution of the same image in the series âJackie's Sisterâ.
Among the Twilight actors, Elizabeth Racer can be considered the least successful. For each participant in this saga, new horizons in her career were opened, but the woman has not been able to achieve much since 2008. She appeared in the second season of the famous series "True Detective", but the role was episodic. It can also be seen in the final part of the series âMad Menâ. In the movie Twilight, she got the character Esme Cullen, who is Carlisle's wife.
Father and close friend
In the saga "Twilight", some actors have been since the appearance of the first part on the screens. This can be considered Taylor Lautner, who played a close friend for the main character Bella. The guy was a werewolf and lived with his tribe on the reservation. They are the main enemies of vampires, plus his love for the girl created a solid foundation for the confrontation with Edward Cullen. The young actor became the highest paid teenager, but after that did not stop working. It can be seen in the works of Odnoklassniki 2, Tracers, Ride the Wave, and several others.
Billy Burke was also seen among the actors in the Twilight saga. The man played the kind and loving father of the main character named Charlie. The role brought him considerable success, since the actor liked the director of all parts. He was invited to the image of the character of the father of the main character in the film "Little Red Riding Hood." After Burke took part in the series âRevolutionâ and a television project called âMenagerieâ.
First couple in the family
The actors of the movie âTwilightâ managed to perfectly convey the mood of their characters, and the vampires from the Cullen family managed it especially well. Carlisle realized that he would be able to form a family only if each person who arrived didnât have a couple. One of the first he turned Emmett Cullen, and Rosalie Hale made him a love company . The role of a man went to Kellan Lutz, who at the time of the first part did not manage to become famous for his participation in high-profile paintings. After the film adaptation of the books, he appeared in the works âThe Burning Islandâ and âThe War of the Gods: Immortalsâ, where he composed the company of Mickey Rourke. Later he had the opportunity to play a major role in the film "Hercules: The Beginning of a Legend."
Rosalie was played by Nikki Reed, who was seen due to the role of the popular girl in the film "Thirteen." Career growth after this subsided and the actress can only be seen in secondary roles in the films "Sleepy Hollow", "Highway" and several others.
The second couple in the family
Among the actors in Twilight was also a woman named Ashley Greene. She got the role of the good young girl Ellis Cullen, who was turned one of the last. At that time, she did not have high-profile achievements, and even participation in the vampire saga did not give a powerful impetus to her career development. Nevertheless, she continued to act in films of various kinds. Among the most noteworthy are âMotivationâ, âMy Girlfriend is a Zombieâ and âChristieâ. Ellis's voice can also be heard in the popular game âBatman: Arkham Knightâ.
A couple in the film she was made by Jackson Rathbone, who played Jasper Hale. It was turned recently, and it is difficult for him to restrain himself from thirst for blood. The man worked as a journalist before participating in this role on Disney 411. Jackson is now chairman of the organization that is involved in the musical education of children in dysfunctional families. He did not give up acting and appeared in the movie Dead Men and some others.
Some of the antagonists
In the movie âTwilight. Dawn âactors from among the above-mentioned personalities continued to appear on the screens, but the main antagonist of the first part was not among them. Vampire James fought with Edward Cullen in the final, and the outcome is known to all fans of the picture. This man was hunting Bella and wanted to taste her blood.
The role went to a newcomer to the industry Cam Gigandet. Participation in the film opened up new horizons for him in his career. Now he has already managed to remind himself of himself in the works âThe Magnificent Seven,â âBroken Vowsâ and âExcellent Student of Easy Conductâ. His girlfriend Victoria was played by Rachelle Lefebvre. The actress did a good job with a character who, from childhood, was pursued by a difficult fate. She played in the first two films, but the third sequel Rachelle quit due to participating in the filming of the independent film "According to Barney." Replaced by another actress named Bryce Dallas Howard. Among the most famous of the following works can be noted the series "Under the Dome."
Minor Characters
In the subsequent parts of the Twilight saga, the actors changed slightly, but a character named Jessica continued to be himself. This girl became a close friend of Bella immediately after arrival. She also wanted to be in the center of attention of the whole school with a new student. Her main passions are shopping and gossip. Edward always says that at heart she envies his beloved for many reasons. The role was played by actress Anna Kendrick, who, thanks to hard work, became quite famous. After the vampire saga, she appeared on various roles in the films âI would like to go to heavenâ, âPerfect voiceâ, âThe farther into the forestâ and others.
Another student named Angela was Christian Serratos. The role of Bellaâs girlfriend did not bring the girl success, but subsequent participation in the series The Walking Dead corrected the situation. She appeared before the fans as the character of Rosita and perfectly coped with the image.
Clan Volturi, part 1
In the saga âTwilight. Dawn âactors have emerged from among new personalities. This happened thanks to the introduction of a storyline with the Volturi clan - the oldest vampires from Italy. One of the heads of this family is Aro, who, through physical contact with any living creature, can read all the thoughts that have ever arisen in his head. The role was played by Michael Sheen, known for other popular films, including âTron: Legacy,â âPassengers,â âAnother World,â and many others.
The second leader of the clan is a man named Kai, known for his bloodthirstiness. His role went to Jamie Bauer, who starred in two parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as well as the recently released Will. The oldest of the entire clan and its third leader is Mark. His image was embodied on the screen by a little-known actor Christopher Heyerdahl.
The remaining clan members in the film
Actors of the saga âTwilight. Dawn. Part 1 â, which got the role of members of the Volturi clan, embodied the roles of uncompromising vampires, which themselves set the laws. Aro's assistant named Jane demonstrates this perfectly. Her ability is the ability to penetrate the human mind and cause unbearable pain. The character was played by an actress named Dakota Fanning. Jane has a twin brother named Alec, who also obeys Aro. His strength lies in depriving all the senses of a living being. Cameron Bright spoke on the screen in this image .
Daniel Cadmore, in turn, played the role of the physically powerful and hardy vampire Felix. It is worth noting that these are not all the actors who appeared on the screens in five parts of the epic, but only the main ones. A huge number of characters flashed only in some episodes, but this material will be enough to get acquainted with the central staff.
