Lautner Taylor is a fairly well-known young actor, whose wide popularity brought a role in the saga of the four films "Twilight". He conquered many girls with his smile, figure, attractive facial features. But the role of Jacob is not the only one played by the actor throughout his career, and many of his fans would like to know the full list of paintings with his participation. After reviewing several works, you can clearly see how the boy turns into a young man, how he grows, develops both physically and in the development of acting skills.
Elements of the biography of the artist
Taylor Daniel Lautner (this is the full name of the actor) was born
on February 11, 1992 in the United States,
Michigan, the city of Grand Rapids. His parents are Daniel and Deborah Lautner. The actor has such a memorable and unusual appearance, because he has roots from different nationalities: German, French, Dutch and Native American. From early childhood he became interested in martial arts, from the age of 6 he began to practice karate. At 7 years old he became the winner of the tournament, at 8 he was invited to training by seven-time champion Mike Chat. At the request of the coach, Taylor represented his country at the competitions of the International Karate Association, where he became the champion in the fight against weapons, won 3 gold medals. Sporting achievements didn’t end there, at the age of 11, Lautner won first place in NASKA world competitions in 4 categories, and a year later became the world champion among karate juniors. It was this occupation, or rather the conviction of the coach, that led Taylor to the cinema.
How did the actor's career begin?
Lautner Taylor, whose filmography is quite wide today, did not immediately get to the shooting of the movie. For the first time, he went to auditions to advertise a chain of fast food restaurants in Los Angeles. The experiment ended in failure, but did not upset the boy at all, on the contrary, showed him his capabilities and served as an impetus for development in this direction. Soon the family only managed to travel from Michigan to Florida so that young talent could participate in trials and auditions.
Taylor began to get roles in films from the age of 9, he played in full-length films, in series, and voiced cartoons. In 2002, the family decided to move to Los Angeles so that the boy could work freely and devote his free time to the actor’s art. Significant film roles appeared in 2001, and a new star, Lautner Taylor, lit up on American television.

Here in these pictures played Lautner Taylor. The filmography is already quite long, and there’s another picture in the work - “The Chronicles of the Butcher’s House”, and it’s unlikely that the acting career of a popular young man will end there.
The first picture that brought popularity
For 4 years, the actor played in many films and series, but by that time he was seen only on American television. This often happens with very young actors - they are cute, good, kind, but remembered only if they played an important role in a memorable film or grew up, transformed into attractive guys and girls.
So it happened with Taylor, to whom the first success came with the picture "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava." In it, he showed not only his acting talents, but also his remarkable physical preparation, which was facilitated by regular karate classes.
About the Twilight Saga
The world-famous media franchise made Lautner an idol of youth, a symbol of attractiveness and vibrant energy. Many viewers and fans of all parts of the film recognize Taylor as the most enjoyable character in the saga. Especially in order to conform to the image of Jacob, Lautner had to increase physical activity: he worked hard on exercise machines, swam and adhered to a diet. As a result, he increased muscle mass and acquired 8 abs cubes. As the actor himself says in an interview, he was interested in acting in each of the parts of Twilight, because the films were directed by different directors. Because of this, the approach to the next film was different from the previous one, you could correct the shortcomings of your hero, learn to demonstrate previously unknown feelings. He is sad to part with Jacob, but time does not stand still, life goes on, new hobbies and, most importantly, roles in films appear.
A bit about personal life
Lautner Taylor, whose roles in the movie are different, and the characters are not always like the actor himself, continues to practice karate, football and baseball in his spare time. He also took part in performances by jazz and hip hop groups. After filming the film "Valentine's Day" for some time I met with a colleague in the workshop Taylor Swift, who dedicated one of her songs to him after the breakup. Now the enviable groom Taylor Lautner (whose height is 179 centimeters) is dating actress Maria Ageropoulos. They are a very beautiful couple, but we cannot afford to look into the future of their relationship.
