Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson was born May 13, 1986, 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.

In 2003 Robert landed the coveted role of Cedric Diggory in the fourth installment of the Harry Potter movies, The Goblet Of Fire. Robert met the director, Mike Newell in late 2003 and was the first person seen for the role of Cedric, making the call back and getting the part only a week later.

By 2008, Pattinson landed his big break when he secured the role of vampire Edward Cullen in the movie "Twilight", based on Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novel of the same name.
