It was sometime last week (or month, maybe—I view time like a vampire) that @AustinMamaDrama tweeted me to say Bryce Dallas Howard was the new face of the kate spade spring 2011 campaign. Interesting. I hadn't put much thought into what all the actors were doing who clearly wouldn't make it to the Breaking Dawn set.
Huh. I would have pegged the undead for a winter, but she can rock the spring colors.
Damn. The Third Wife gets no love. Can this poor woman land a role with an actual character name, please?
What about the rest of that wacky crew who can boast to their grandchildren that they were briefly in a movie with THE Robert Pattinson? What kind of street cred to you get from putting Twilight on your resumé? I think it's safe to say... almost none.

Cam Gigandet aka James

I've actually heard of a few of these shows. That's saying something since I have no clue what plays on the talking box.
Edi Gathegi aka Laurent
Cam Gigandet aka James
He gets a pass on all the rubbish on this screen because he was in Easy A. I loved that movie.
Jack Huston aka Royce King
Jodelle Ferland aka Bree Tanner
Two words: Ice Quake?
Ok, most of these actors are actually working and not wishing they'd finished their accounting degree like their parents begged them to do. Some of the actors have not been as lucky.

The saddest story belongs to Twilight's first victim... Sadly, she has been unable to find work in the more traditional cinematic films and has been forced into a more... adult genre.
Equal parts awesome and depressing. I can't wait for 20 years from now when I see one of these dead characters on Law & Order Paralegals or CSI Fargo and say "OMG, It's that guy!!" and it takes me a minute or 3 to remember where I saw them. Poor kids. In these economic times, it's hard to find shitty television work.
ReplyDelete"A Few Best Men? I don't think I can handle the truth of this script." BWAHAHAHAHA!!! I hope I'm not the only one to appreciate the wit you put into your captions...
@lindsay rae - oh you're not the only one bb... : )
ReplyDeleteSo are you saying that Robward didn't really kill that deer in the opening shot of Twilight? But I thought Cathy Hardwicke said– Shit, now I'm concerned about other possible scams in the series. I hope the Hunger Games isn't plagued with this kind of deceit. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLMAO! That last pic is priceless.
ReplyDeleteWe saw BDH at the Eclipse Convention & she was awesome. So beautiful in person & soooo sweet. Loved her......but not as Victoria. She tried though. Gotta give the girl credit.
xo J
I saw Laurent (what's his real name again) in Atlas Shrugged. Poor guy can't catch a break on playing the black guy who wasn't really black in the book. He was good though.
ReplyDeleteLOL at the deer one! You forgot the most important kill-off of all: that kid vampire Jasper beheads back in the civil war, who may or may not be McLovin.
ReplyDeleteSome of the movies they've done sound porn-like. TWYLIGHT ZONES?????

ReplyDeleteSee...it happened again....coffee all over the laptop! That last photo is hilarious. Ya know as I watched Eclipse I was sad when I realized that we'd have no more Riley....he was pretty easy on the eyes... A Few Best Men....really. Let`s hope Mr. Pattinson fares better.
ReplyDeleteYour captions always make me laugh until I fart. And that last picture fucking slayed me.
ReplyDelete@Papercut Definiley sad to not see Xavier in another movie.
ReplyDeleteHopefully all the main people from these movies will have good careers after this. If not I hope they know how to make their millions last. I think Rob will be sticking around for a long time to come.
I have followed Cam (even watching The Unborn twice just to see him) but none of the others, so the post was extremely useful for we random losers who can't get enough of any of it, EVER. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of those killed off, what about deaths on the set?? Didn't Catherine Hardwicke say on the Twilight commentary that the deer we see grazing in the little glen actually dropped dead and had to be replaced with another deer for the chase/catch part?
And then there are the actors who didn't get killed off so much as fucked over--by which I mean the divine Rachelle (who along, with Cam's James, was the only actually scary thing in the whole series so far). Too bad Off the Map sucks/sucked...but it was primetime so she got good exposure (those Lifetime movies don't really count)
I would gladly take a one entry title under my name on IMDB if it meant I was in Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn 1 or Breaking Dawn 2 ;)
ReplyDeleteThe deer part had me almost getting in trouble with my boss for laughing. Darn you *shakes fist* soooo funny
@fezfactiry- Yes! I totally saw Mike Newton the murderer and my ensuing surprised shriek was enough to make the cranky old woman in the apartment next door bang on the wall... I had a hard time believing him in the role because of my twi-obsession though.
ReplyDeleteIf I never worked again I might still be happy to have once been in the presence of Him.
ReplyDeletethe deer, oh my! Hardcore laughing my ass off over here!
ReplyDeleteOkay, seriously dying over here. That deer picture/caption... I'm laughing so hard I had to explain to the hubs what the hell I was laughing at. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, TK!
