Performers

Alex Rice

Born in Quebec, Canada, Alex Rice moved to Brooklyn, New York as a youngster where she first embarked on an acting career. The Mohawk Native American made her debut in Chasing Indigo (2000) and has gone on to star in a number of TV shows, such as the Sopranos, Spin City and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She's most famous for her ongoing role as Janet Pete in the PBS Mystery! series of TV movies, including Skinwalkers (2002), Coyote Waits (2003) and A Thief of Time (2004). In these, she co-starred with Graham Greene, who plays Harry Clearwater, her onscreen husband in The Twilight Saga.

Catalina Sandino Moreno

With her very first onscreen performance, Catalina Sandino Moreno was nominated for an Academy Award - not bad going. Nominated in the Best Actress category in the 2005 awards (she lost to Hilary Swank for Million Dollar Baby), she became the first Colombian and the third Hispanic actress to achieve such a career high and the first in a Spanish speaking movie for her mesmerising turn as the titular María Álvarez in Maria Full of Grace (2004). She beat 900 other hopefuls to the role, having moved to New York City from Bogota in her native Colombia, where she previously studied advertising at university. She has since gone on to star in a number of acclaimed films such as Fast Food Nation (2006), Love in the Time of Cholera (2007) and Steven Soderbergh's Che: Part One and Part Two and is set to appear as another Maria, this time a bloodsucking vampire from the past of Jasper Hale in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Jack Huston

Part of the great Huston Hollywood dynasty which boasts among its numbers three generations of Oscar winners (actor Walter, Jack's great grandfather; director, John his grandfather and Angelica, his aunt), Jack Huston is following a family tradition by making his way in Tinseltown. Born in London, England, he made his debut in a TV version of Spartacus (2004) and has gone on to work on both the small screen; Miss Austen Regrets (2008) and the short-lived Eastwick (2009) and the big; Factory Girl (2006), Shrooms (2007) and Outlander (2008). He is set to have audiences booing and hissing when he appears as Royce King II in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Jodelle Ferland

Like her Eclipse co-star BooBoo Stewart, young Jodelle Ferland has amassed a body of work that would sound impressive were she coming to the end of her career rather than still in her teens. She made her TV debut in 1999's Cold Squad, but her first feature role came as Desi in TV movie, Mermaid (2000) when she was just four-years-old (yes four!) This remarkable start earned her a Young Artist Award and a Daytime Emmy Award nomination – the youngest ever to achieve such a feat. The Canadian starlet has barely stopped working since, appearing in a number of top TV shows and films, such as Terry Gilliam's Tideland (2005) for which she picked up a Genie Award nom for best actress, however she's most recognisable to cinema audiences for 2006 horror Silent Hill. She'll soon be seen in a starring role opposite Renée Zellweger in Case 39 and as Bree in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Kirsten Prout

Making her debut at the age of just 10-years-old in TV movie, The Linda McCartney Story, Kirsten Prout has come a long way in the past decade. Her biggest moment came when she starred opposite Hollywood A-lister, Jennifer Garner in superhero spin-off, Elektra (2005), though has also achieved widespread popularity as Amanda Bloom in sci-fi teen drama, Kyle XY (2006 to 2009). Born in Vancouver, she's bilingual, happy in both English and French, though as the vampire Lucy in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, she'lll be giving her Gallic gift a rest.

Robert Pattinson

Not content with starring as one literary fantasy pin-up, London-born actor Robert Pattinson has played two. The first of such roles, that of Huffelpuff prefect Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) launched his career, though it would take a further few years until transformed into vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight (2008) for him to become a household name. He will continue to star as the blood-sucking immortal for the remaining three adaptations of the Stephenie Meyer series and all the while squeezing in other projects such as Remember Me co-starring Pierce Brosnan and Unbound Captives also featuring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.

Kristen Stewart

Making the move from child star to adult marquee name is famously fraught with problems, but Kristen Stewart has negotiated the movie minefield with modest ease. The Los Angeles native broke through as Jodie Foster's daughter in 2002's Panic Room and went on to build a strong CV with a combination of supporting roles in mainstream films like Zathura (2005) and Into the Wild (2007) and more substantial oneS in smaller indies such as Speak (2004) and The Cake Eaters (2007), but it was as clumsy high school student Bella Swan in Twilight (2008) that she achieved A-Lister status. She reprises her role in the fantasy romance follow-up The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) and goes punk as real-life rocker Joan Jett in musical biopic The Runaways (expected 2010).

Taylor Lautner

Michigan-born Taylor Lautner first strayed into showbiz when at the age of nine he starred in made-for-TV movie Shadow Fury. He continued in television through his early teens in children's programmes and made the step up to film in 2005 when he snagged the titular part of Shark Boy in director Robert Rodriguez's The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D. Three years later he was cast as Native American Jacob Black in Twilight and despite media speculation that he would be replaced for the remaining films in the franchise, he will return as werewolf Jacob in The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, having put on 32-pounds in muscle for the role.

Peter Facinelli

Italian-American Peter Facinelli grew up in Queens, New York and when bitten by the acting bug studied his craft at the Atlantic Theater Company Acting School under such teachers as Hollywood stars William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman. He made his film debut in 1995's Angela and went on to work solidly in TV and films with big screen highlights including Riding in Cars with Boys (2001) and The Scorpion King (2002). He nabbed the main part in short-lived Fox crime drama Fastlane (2002/03) and continued to be cast in strong supporting roles in acclaimed shows such as Six Feet Under and Damages before securing the role of Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight movies. He can also be seen in dark comedy Nurse Jackie.

Jackson Rathbone

Born in Singapore, Jackson Rathbone spent his early years moving around a lot before his family settled in Midland, Texas. Here he started acting in local theatre productions and attended a private school for the arts in Michigan, majoring in acting. Plans for further study fell by the wayside when he headed to the bright lights of L.A. where he earned guest spots in shows such as The O.C. and then hit the Hollywood jackpot with the role of Jasper Hale, the latest vampire vegetarian to join the Cullen family in 2008's Twilight. Away from the Twilight movies, other upcoming roles include Sokka in M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender and Russ in Girlfriend, both 2010.

Nikki Reed

Not many young actresses find fame starring in a film they co-wrote, but that's Nikki Reed's story. With Catherine Hardwicke, the director of Twilight, the young teen penned the screenplay for the semi-autobiographical drama Thirteen and when casting agents found it difficult to cast the part of tearaway Evie, Nikki stepped up. The film, which co-starred Evan Rachel Wood became a critical success and helped Nikki to score a number of impressive industry award nominations. She followed this up by playing other bad girls in The O.C. and 2005's Lords of Dogtown before being cast as vampire beauty, Rosalie in The Twilight Series. She'll reunite with her Twilight co-star, Kristen Stewart for drama K-11 due out in 2010.

Kellan Lutz

Like his Twilight co-star, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz's showbiz career began with modelling before moving into acting. He started earning a crust in front of the camera in his early teens and despite time spent at Chapman University studying chemical engineering he had been bitten by the acting bug and gave up his academic studies for an acting career. He starred in a number of TV shows and teen movies and hosted Bravo's Blow Out, however 2008 was the year that put him on the map. He starred in HBO's critically acclaimed mini-series Generation Kill and nabbed the part of Emmett Cullen, the brawny beefcake brother of Edward in Twilight. Kellan will return as Emmett in the subsequent three Twilight films and is playing a high school jock in the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Ashley Greene

For Ashley Greene the dream of being a catwalk model went out the window when she was told that at 5-foot 4-inches she wasn't tall enough. This led the Florida native to move into commercials and so she signed up for acting classes and soon realised that her future lay with acting. She featured in guest roles in a number of US shows including Crossing Jordan before securing the role that would make her an international star, that of perky vampire, Alice Cullen in the Twilight films. For Alice she won the 2009 Teen Choice Award for Fresh Face Female (beating Twilight co-star Nikki Reed) and has been cast as the lead in upcoming horror, The Apparition.

Edi Gathegi

Born in Kenya, but raised in California, Edi Gathegi was bitten by the acting bug when studying at the University of California. He followed this up by completing the graduate school acting program at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University before moving into theatrical work. His time spent treading the boards took in a number of Shakespeare classics such as Othello until 2006 saw him make his screen debut in mad-cap actioner Crank (2006). He followed this up with supporting roles in other high-profile projects like Gone Baby Gone and TV's House and in 2008 was cast as dreadlocked Nomad vampire, Laurent in Twilight. Edi reprises the role in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and will be continuing his medical acting as seen in House with new TV drama, Operating Instructions.

Elizabeth Reaser

Before landing the part of Esme, the caring matriarch of the Cullen family in the Twilight movies, Elizabeth Reaser was best known for playing the unidentified Jane Doe (aka Ava aka Rebecca Pope) in medical drama series, Grey's Anatomy and scored an Emmy nomination for the part in 2007. A graduate of the prestigious Julliard School of Drama, the Michigan-born actress also starred as Susannah, one of the four siblings in 2005 Christmas drama The Family Stone and in the same year was the lead in period romance Sweet Land for which she won the Jury Best Actress Award at the Newport Beach Film Festival. She has also worked in TV and on the stage.

Rachelle Lefevre

For Canadian actress Rachelle Lefevre her most high profile media moment came when news broke during summer 2009 that she had been replaced in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Having played the part of flame-haired Nomad vampire Victoria in Twilight and its sequel, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, her Twilight experience came to an abrupt end. Good job that the bilingual actress has plenty of other exciting roles on the horizon including Casino Jack with Kevin Spacey and Barney's Version with Paul Giamatti, all very far from her TV debut in Canadian TV show Big Wolf on Campus in 1999.

Billy Burke

Born in Washington it was with dreams of a music career that Billy Burke said goodbye to his home state and made the move to Los Angeles, California. After disappointments with record labels, he channeled his efforts in acting, having already starred in two indie films back in Washington, and soon began landing small TV roles. He went on to build a solid CV including supporting roles in TV (24) and films (Ladder 49, Fracture, Untraceable) and now is best known for his moustachioed turn as Police Chief and father to Bella, Charlie Swan in the Twilight films.

Cam Gigandet

There must be a naughty twinkle in the eye of Washington-born Cam Gigandet as he often gets cast as the villain of the piece. Since making his debut in season four of C.S.I. Crime Scene Investigation in 2003, he's routinely played the bag guy; most famously James, the Nomad vampire leader in 2008's Twilight, but also Ryan in action drama Never Back Down (also 2008) and Kevin in The O.C. (2005-06). He has many projects in the pipeline due for release in 2010 and 2011, including Burlesque the big screen debut of pop star Christina Aguilera, so maybe he'll get the chance to play the hero sometime soon...

Justin Chon

Not only did Justin Chon inherit the ability to speak Korean from his father, but also the acting gene (his father was an actor in South Korea). Having started his career in 2005 with shows such as Jack and Bobby, and Taki and Luci, Chon got his first taste of fame when he played Peter Wu in the Disney Channel film Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior (2006). Since then, the Californian-born actor has continued to star in television and film productions, most notably playing Yong Kim in Crossing Over (2009) and Eric Yorkie the geeky, incredibly helpful and very studious Forks High School student in Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse.

Michael Welch

Onscreen since the wee small age of 10-years-old, Los Angeles native Michael Welch has already enjoyed a pretty impressive career and he's still only in his early 20s. Along with the part of Forks High School student Mike Newton, Michael is best known for playing Luke Girardi on TV show, Joan of Arcadia (2003 – 2005). For this role, he won the Young Artist Award, his second time winning such an honour after scooping it back in the late 90s for playing Artim in Star Trek: Insurrection. He's also enjoyed guest spots in such hit programmes as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, The X-Files and Frasier. A veteran at only 22, he also finds time to plays drums in a band and is hoping to finish his planned one-man show – one day when he's free.

Anna Kendrick

The Maine native was only 10-years-old when the acting bug bit and soon her time was spent commuting to New York for auditions. This commitment soon paid off when Anna nabbed the part of Dinah in the Broadway musical High Society, making such an instant impression on the Great White way that she was nominated for a prestigious Tony award (the third youngest ever at just 12) and won others. Since then, Anna has continued to tread the boards with aplomb and in 2003 made her big screen debut in musical comedy Camp. She is better known to Twifans as Bella's bitchy high school friend, Jessica and is stepping out of the Twilight shadow, earning critical acclaim and more awards and nominations with a memorable turn as Natalie Keener in 2009 comedy/ drama Up in the Air, co-starring George Clooney.

Gregory Tyree Boyce

American actor Gregory Tyree Boyce grew up in southern California and made his first known appearance in one of Twilight's most dramatic scenes when his character, Forks High School student, Tyler Crowley almost kills Bella when he loses control of the truck he’s driving.

Gil Birmingham

Having entered and won a number of bodybuilding competitions in his younger days, it was his beefcake-tastic physique that led Gil Birmingham to experience his first acting role opposite Diana Ross in her 1982 music video "Muscles". Possessing both brain and brawn, the descendant of the Native American Comanche graduated cum laude from the University of Southern California with a degree in Administration and embarked on a career in petrochemical engineering before following the path into acting. Since the Texan actor’s television debut in Riptide (1986), he has starred in over 40 film, television and theatre productions including his most pivotal role of Manny Deadmarsh in The Doe Boy (2001) which won the Sundance International Filmmaker's Award in 2001. Also competing for space on his crowded CV are appearances in Gentle Ben (2002), Gentle Ben 2: Danger on the Mountain (2003), Dreamkeeper (2003), for which he won the award for Outstanding Supporting Role at the 2005 American Indian LA Film and Television Awards, Night at the Museum (2006) and Nip/Tuck (2009). Birmingham plays Billy Black, an elder of the Quileute tribe in Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse.

Bronson Pelletier

Canadian actor Bronson Pelletier is best known for his role as Jack Sinclair in teen drama television series renegadepress.com (2007) and most recently for playing Jared, the shape-shifting wolf in Eclipse and New Moon. He previously starred as Kit Whitefeather in children’s television programme, Dinosapien (2005).

Alex Meraz

Born and bred in Arizona, Alex Meraz has more talent than you can shake a stick at. The multi-faceted performer is a graduate of the New School for the Arts and has himself taught all aspects of art, from mask-making to breakdancing in schools and community centres throughout the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Having studied mixed martial arts for 12 years, he's won numerous karate and capoeira tournaments and trained as a stuntman with the award-winning Andy Cheng. Dancing under the name of Nomak with the indigenous contemporary dance organisation, Dancing Earth (of which he is a founder member), the Native Mexican Indian of the Purepecha (Tarasco) Nation is internationally sought after as a breakdancer and creative urban street dancer – he’s even represented the US in a performance for the Royal Jordanian family in Amman, Jordan. And it doesn’t stop there; acting-wise Meraz has starred in The New World (2005) with Colin Farrell and Christian Bale, Two Spirits, One Journey (2007) and New Moon and Eclipse playing hot tempered werewolf, Paul. Blimey – there’s no flies on him!

Tyson Houseman

Tyson Houseman plays the role of shape-shifting wolf pack member Quil Ateara in New Moon and Eclipse. Previous to starring in the Twilight films, the Native American actor was involved in a number of theatre productions and when he’s not acting likes to snowboard, skateboard and play his guitar.

Chaske Spencer

Oklahoma-born Chaske Spencer is of Sioux, Nez Perce, Cherokee, Creek, French, and Dutch descent (phew!) and during his childhood lived in Montana, Kooskia, Idaho, Lapwai and Lewiston Idaho (phew again!). In pursuit of an acting career, he quit college and moved to New York City where, between bar tending and waiting tables, he took acting lessons from coaches like David Gideon and Ed Kovens. There he trod the boards in many New York theatre pieces, including playing the title role in Dracula - which may come as a surprise to some Twilight fans since he plays wolf pack leader Sam Uley in New Moon and Eclipse. Other films Spencer has starred in include Skins (2002) and Dreamkeeper (2003).

Noot Seear

They say, “if you’ve got it, flaunt it“ and Noot Seear definitely has and does. The Canadian fashion model and actress (real name Renata Seear) lived out many a teenage girl’s dream when she was spotted by a talent scout in a Vancouver shopping mall at the age of 13. After having modelled in her hometown, she soon moved to New York where she made her catwalk debut in September 1998 at New York Fashion Week walking for Calvin Klein, Daryl K and Ralph Lauren. The fashion figure has appeared in a number of advertising campaigns for a range of designer brands including Chanel, Giorgio Armani and Yves St. Laurent, has been the face of fragrances ck one and Vera Wang and graced the cover of fashion magazines Elle Germany, Amica (Italy), D (Italy) and Vogue Nippon. Acting-wise Seear is known for her roles in television series Kaya (2007), film Head Over Heals ( 2001) and for playing veritable vampire beauty, Heidi, in New Moon.

Daniel Cudmore

An inch taller than New Moon co-star Christopher Heyerdahl (Marcus), Daniel Cudmore is one tall actor at 6' 5" (193 m) - which is fitting for his best known role, that of the mutant Colossus in the X-Men movies, X2: X-Men United (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), the latter alongside Twilight co-star Cameron Bright. He's also starred as a Basketball Player in the film Are We There Yet? (2005) and Agent Barr in the film Alone in the Dark (2005). As well as acting, Cudmore is a keen sportsman having been awarded a football scholarship to Gannon University and in his spare time works hard in the gym as well as ski racing and snowboarding (appearing in ski and snowboard videos). Staying true to his beefy buff physique, the Canadian actor plays the bulkiest of the Volturi guards in New Moon and Eclipse.

Charlie Bewley

Brought up on a semi-disused farm in middle England and coming from what he describes as a wonderfully dysfunctional family detached from the norm, English actor Charlie Bewley now lives in Canada and is best know for his role as Demetri, an associate of the Volturi Coven in New Moon and Eclipse.

Cameron Bright

It was 2004 when Cameron Bright burst onto the movie scene with roles in three thriller movies: The Butterfly Effect, Godsend and Birth - the latter sparking a media frenzy due to the scenes in which his role, that of a ten-year-old boy, shares a kiss and bath with a woman played by Nicole Kidman. Since making it clear that nude suits were worn in that bath scene and that both the actor and actress were filmed in the bath separately, Bright has starred in a range of high profile movie roles such as Jimmy the Leach in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), Joey Naylor in Thank You For Smoking (2005), an RPG nerd in Juno (2007) and Oleg in Running Scared (2006). Bright’s role in New Moon and Eclipse sees him far from running scared as he plays Alec, a cruel and calculating Volturi guard with strong fighting skills and an equally dangerous twin sister, Jane.

Dakota Fanning

Having started her acting career at the tender age of five, Dakota Fanning is the youngest person ever to have been nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award. Having won this accolade for her breakthrough performance as Lucy Dawson opposite Sean Penn in I am Sam (2001), child star Fanning proceeded to appear in high-profile films such as Man on Fire (2004), War of the Worlds (2005) and Charlotte's Web (2006). When adulthood inevitably appeared on the horizon, the Georgia-born actress began to take more mature roles such as Hounddog (2007) and The Secret Life of Bees (2008). Fanning plays dangerous Volturi guard Jane in New Moon and will appear in the following Twilight Saga film, Eclipse due in 2010.

Christopher Heyerdahl

Born in the mountains of British Columbia, Canadian actor Christopher Heyerdahl has played a list of roles that is as long as he is tall – which is pretty tall at 6' 4" (1.93 m). Among these many prominent television shows and movies, he's known for his roles as Leonid in the Are You Afraid of the Dark? episode "The Thirteenth Floor" (1993) and as Nosferatu in the episode "Midnight Madness" (1993), as well as Frankie Lacoy in Affliction (1997) and Rocker in Catwoman (2004). With such a busy portfolio Heyerdahl clearly doesn’t share the quiet and apathetic characteristics of Marcus the Volturi leader whom he plays in New Moon.

Jamie Campbell Bower

London-raised Jamie Campbell Bower has rather a number of strings to his bow: he acts, he sings and he models. Acting-wise he is best known for the role that sparked his career on the big screen; Anthony Hope in Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007). He also starred in RocknRolla (2008) and Winter in Wartime (2008) and is set to appear as the younger version of Gellert Grindelwald in the 2010 and 2011 adaptations of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. He plays the palest and cruelest of the Volturi leaders, Caius, in New Moon.

Michael Sheen

With a part-time professional Jack Nicholson look-alike for a father, it’s no wonder that Michael Sheen (OBE) turned down a trial at Arsenal FC in his early years and pursued his interest in theatre. After leaving school, Sheen studied acting at the National Youth Theatre of Wales and went on to train at the internationally renowned Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He soon established himself as one of the most promising talents on the theatrical scene racking up an impressive list of roles including Mozart in Peter Shaffer's play Amadeus (1999). With an equally impressive list of television and film roles to date and a few awards under his belt, Sheen has more recently become best known for his portrayals of well-known public figures: Tony Blair in The Deal (2003) and The Queen (2006), David Frost in both the stage production and film version of Frost/Nixon (2006 & 2008), and football manager Brian Clough in The Damned United (2009) - turns out football didn’t totally fall to the wayside. The welsh actor plays the vampire Aro in the second instalment of the Twilight film series, New Moon (2009).

Kiowa Gordon

It seems fated that Kiowa Gordon landed a part in The Twilight Saga. He was plucked from obscurity when the book series' author, Stephenie Meyer spotted him at her church congregation (they both attend Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) and suggested he audition to be part of the wolf pack. One open casting call later and Kiowa is now better known to Twifans as Embry Call, Jacob Black's close friend and fellow Native American Indian. Like Twilight heroine, Bella Swan, he was also raised in California and Arizona, though unlike the fictional only child, Kiowa is the second youngest of eight siblings.

Christian Serratos

It's not surprising that in 2009 Christian Serratos (real name Christian Marie Bernardi) was ranked as one of People magazine's most beautiful people as she's been making waves in the modelling world since she was 7-years-old. This love of the limelight saw her make the move to acting in commercials a year later when she nabbed the part of Suzie Crabgrass in teen sitcom, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. Now concealing her looks and poise under the modest demeanour of quiet Forks High School student, Angela in The Twilight Saga, she somehow finds the time to continue modelling and has posed nude twice in support of animal charity PETA.

BooBoo Stewart

It's incredible to think that BooBoo Stewart is only 15-years-old, having achieved so much and mastered so many skills in such a short time he must surely be some kind of child prodigy. Not content with just being an actor, he's also a two-time Martial Arts World Champion (for which he's been inducted into the Martial Arts Junior Hall of Fame), has hosted a TV show, 2006's Blue Dolphin Kids, performed TV and film stunt work and somehow found time to fit in a musical career, formerly part of hip-hop group T-Squad and having toured with Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. Sure to be one of Twilight's chief rising stars, he plays Seth Clearwater in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

Julia Jones

Having studied at The Boston Ballet School as a youngster, Boston-born Julia Jones has a poise and elegance that's served her well in her subsequent modelling career. Having appeared in campaigns for GAP, Levi's, L'Oreal and Espirit, she's also branched out into the world of acting albeit, her first role as a modelling wannabe in 2003 film, The Look. Since then, she starred as Dr Kaya Montoya in four episodes of top medical drama, ER and will play Leah Clearwater in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

Bryce Dallas Howard

We all know that Bryce Dallas Howard's father is Happy Days actor and Oscar-winning director Ron Howard, but did you know that The Fonz himself (aka Henry Winkler) is her godfather? You could say that Hollywood glory was destined for her, and yet Bryce grew up away from the spotlight albeit always with a penchant for performing, treading the boards in numerous school productions. Her love of acting saw her study at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and in 2004 she left behind the New York stage when she appeared in 2004 film, Book of Love. Her breakout role, that of Ivy Walker in M. Night Shyamalan's The Village (2004) soon followed and she went on to earn other high profile roles in Lady in the Water (2006), Spider-Man 3 (2007) and Terminator Salvation (2009). She replaces Rachelle Lefevre as Nomad vampire Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Xavier Samuel

Australian actor Xavier Samuel first stepped onto the stage while at secondary school in Adelaide, before progressing to Flinders University Drama Centre where he trod the boards as Shakespeare's Hamlet during his graduate production. He balanced study with appearances in TV shows such as McLeod's Daughters (2003), films like Newcastle (2008) and plays like 2 Weeks with the Queen (2006) and also found time to perform with his band, Hyatus. He plays the vampire Riley in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Tinsel Korey

Celebrated as both a singer and an actress, Vancouver-based Tinsel Korey scored her first acting role in 2004 when she turned up as a bridesmaid in Tru Calling. Since then, she's starred in the award-winning indie, Unnatural & Accidental and a number of TV movies and mini-series's. In The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Eclipse, she stars as Emily Young, the scarred yet beautiful fiancée of wolf pack leader, Sam Uley.

Graham Greene

After graduating from The Centre for Indigenous Theatre's Native Theatre School program in 1974, Graham Greene trod the boards in both Toronto and London before debuting on television and film in The Great Detective (1979) and Running Brave (1983) respectively. It was in 1990 that the Oneida Indian, born in Ohsweken on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, shot to fame for his role as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves alongside Kevin Costner bagging him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Since then, he's starred in a lengthy list of television programmes and films including Northern Exposure (1992), The Red Green Show (1994), The Green Mile (1999) and Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995), as well as presenting, narrating and returning to the theatre. Twilight fans will know Greene for his role as Harry Clearwater in New Moon in which he plays the tribal elder of the Quileute tribe and father of Seth and Leah.

Sarah Clarke

The acting bug first bit Sarah Clarke during her senior year abroad in Bologna, Italy whilst studying Fine Arts and Italian. After returning to the US and taking further studies in architectural photography, she swapped her photography skills for free acting lessons and she hasn’t looked back since. Her break came in the form of an award-winning commercial for Volkswagen (1999) followed by a series of minor television and film roles – her best known role being Nina Myers in hit television series 24 (2001 – 04) where she clocked up an impressive 36 episodes. Since starring as Bella Swan’s mother, Renée Dwyer in the 2008 film Twilight, Clarke has played the leading role as Erin McGuire on T.V. show, Trust Me (2009) and will once again star as the mother of the clumsy, vampire-loving teenager in Eclipse (2010), the third movie in the Twilight series.
