Robert Pattinson

Robert PattinsonRobert Pattinson (born May 13, 1986) is an English actor, model and musician, known for playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. Since he was cast as Edward Cullen in the highly anticipated film adaptation of Twilight, a novel by Stephenie Meyer, Pattinson’s fame has skyrocketed.

Pattinson was born in London, England. 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. In May 2005 he was slated to appear in a the UK premiere of The Woman Before at the Royal Court Theatre, but was fired shortly before the opening night. He was replaced by Tom Riley.

Later that year he played 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.

Pattinson appeared in the advertising campaign for Hackett’s Autumn 2007 collection.

He has a role in the as-yet unreleased short The Summerhouse, the film Little Ashes (in which he plays Salvador Dali) and the lead role in How To Be, an independent film currently touring the festival circuit. On December 11th, 2007, Summit Entertainment announced that Pattinson would play Edward Cullen in the movie Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novel of the same name.

After Twilight’s incredible success around the globe, Pattinson will be reprising his role of Edward Cullen in the second film in the Twilight Saga ‘New Moon,’ adapated from the book of the same name also by author Stephenie Meyer. Pattinson was meant to be in another independent film with actor Dennis Hopper called ‘Parts Per Billion’ but had to withdraw due to the filming dates of New Moon.
