I hope he does get abducted................by a gay sparkly vampire.

This cat is getting all kinds of monies and offers thrown his way mostly because he got in excellent shape and now looks good shirtless, good for him. See, the pendulum swings both ways, it's usually girls getting roles for their looks. Now he just needs to prove that he can carry a movie

I haven't seen the 2nd Twilight movie, but I saw (and read online) a lot of the behind the scenes stuff. This kid was told he probably wasn't going to be brought back after the 1st film because they didn't think he could get in shape to do it (skinny-scrawny in the first flick). He busted his ass to earn that part, and, as Wiseguy said, good for him to take advantage. He's not getting it handed to him, he worked to get it.

 Hopefully there is a ton of action in the movie ala Taken!

so what...this is the third movie he's been up for in recent days?

he's got the role of Stretch Armstrong (why are they making that?

he's got some other movie Jarrod mentioned, and now this...and whatever happens for Breaking Dawn

good for him...maybe he can be an actor instead of teenaged man candy, sort of like what became of DiCaprio

Does anyone in Hollywood not have their own production company?

Hmmmm, sounds like a lifetime movie.

I saw him when he hosted SNL last year (yes, I'm one of the few that still watch it).  He's not a great actor, but there's something about the kid that I kinda like.  He seems tons more personable then that guy who plays the vampire in Twilight.
