ROBERT PATTINSON
Name: Robert Pattinson
Born: 13 May 1986 London, England
Robert "Rob" Pattinson (born 13 May 1986 in London, England) is an English actor
and model, best known for playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet
of Fire. He has been cast as Edward Cullen in the highly anticipated film
adaptation of Twilight, a novel by Stephenie Meyer.
Pattinson names Jack Nicholson as his acting inspiration. He is sometimes
credited as Robert Thomas-Pattinson.
He became involved in amateur theatre through the Barnes Theatre Company. After
some backstage experience there, he took on acting roles. He caught the
attention of an acting agent in a production of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, and
began looking for professional roles.
Since then he has performed in an amateur version of Macbeth at the Old Sorting
Office Arts Centre (also in West London), as well as trying his hand at
modelling, for which he was sometimes credited as Robert Thomas-Pattinson.
He had supporting roles in the made for television film Ring of the Nibelungs (2004),
and in director Mira Nair's 2004 Vanity Fair, although his scenes in the latter
were deleted, and only appear on the DVD version.
He was slated to appear in a the UK premiere of The Woman Before in May 2005,
but was fired shortly before the opening night. He was replaced by Tom Riley.
In late 2005, Pattinson appeared as the character Cedric Diggory in the film
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Consequently, he was named that year's
British Star of Tomorrow by Times Online and has more than once been touted as
the next Jude Law. He was considered for the 2007 membership list for The
Coterie as an honorary member.
Pattinson appeared in the advertising campaign for Hackett's Autumn 2007
collection. He has a role in the as-yet unreleased short The Summer House, and
the film Little Ashes (in which he plays Salvador Dali).
On December 11th, 2007, Summit Entertainment announced that Pattinson will play
Edward Cullen in the upcoming movie Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer's
bestselling vampire/romance novel of the same name.
