The young cast of Twilight is the "hit-cast" of the moment, specially between the teen audiences, but will all the actors of the movie saga keep shinning as bright as today? Of couse not, the majority of them will be forgotten and people will say something like "I know this face from another movie, but I don't know which one". But there are some members of the cast that are already working for keeping their star shinning and some of them will continue to appear in the silver screen.
This is a TOP 5 of the Twilight actors/actresses that will easily keep working in Hollywood and that won't be easily forgotten.
This is a TOP 5 of the Twilight actors/actresses that will easily keep working in Hollywood and that won't be easily forgotten.
1) Anna Kendrick - I would say that Miss Kendrick is TOO GOOD for Twilight saga. In fact, Kendrick was a Tony nominee actress before being part of the first installement of the movies (and the youngest actress ever to receive a Tony nod) and, became the only Oscar nominee member of the cast due to her performance in Up In the Air (2009). The Twilight movies only gave her three high-grossing productions to her body of work and a little bit of fame, but it's her work outside them that will use her true talent and that make her a serious actress, giving her place between the best in the competitive cinema industry.
2) Kristen Stewart - Stewart is one of the members of the cast who most gained in being part of the movie saga. Playing the leading role in Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and the upcoming Breaking Down: Part 1 and Breaking Down: Part 2 gave her a status of almost "global superstar" between young people. From the three leads (herself, Pattinson and Lautner), I think that she will be the one who will be seen as the actress and not the Twilight character easily, because she's not a bad actress at all and she picks some interesting movie productions sometimes (Into the Wild; Panic Room; The Runaways) and she has a status that make her a good actress for both small and big projects. The only problem with Stewart is that she's more of the same she always is (she seems to be only good in annoying, nuanced and unreadable roles), but it seems that The Runaways and Welcome to the Rileys were different (I must see these ones!).
3) Dakota Fanning - I see Fanning's effort in Twilight movies as a failled way to keep in the spotlight in the way that, in spite of keeping being seen in the silver screen by million people, Fanning work isn't as good as it would be if she picked other projects that could use her acting skills in order to make her shine and not to make her a supporting character. She didn't need Twilight movies, she already had the status that many actresses would die for, so, I would see it as a (little) step back in her career. But there aren't no reasons to worry about Fanning's future: she got all the critics love this year with an highly praised performance in The Runaways and she's respect in the cinema industry (she was amazing in I Am Sam, War of Worlds and The Secret Life of Bees). It's good to see that, she isn't doing stupid teen comedies, because she is too good for them and she's above average if we compare her to the rest of the Twilight cast (definetly)!
4) Robert Pattinson - Pattison may be named the actor who most gained with Twilight, because it is true! He may not be a great actor, I may not like him, but I must to admit that all the media attentions showed is huge "star quality". In fact, his sucess is due to his vampire named Edward, but it's also his biggest problem: the audience is so focused in him because of Twilight that go to the movies to see Edward "The Vampire" instead of Robert Pattison, the Actor. I can see him in some decent movies in the next years, but then I only can see him as a musician or a "super-commercial-movies-with-low-quality", but I think that, if he does some right career options in the next two/three years he can be in some decent projects because of his fame and because he tries to improve, in spite of his lack of good acting chops.
5) Taylor Lautner - I don't like Lautner too, to be completly honest and, in my opinion, he will be the one who will be reminded as the "Twilight guy" until the last day of his life alongside Pattinson. In my opinion, his acting is bad - I mean, he doesn't act, he simply say some lines and appear on screen with no shirt! - and I only can see him in romantic comedies or action movies. He certainly will shine as one of the worst actors of his generation and as a Razzie Award nominee/winner actor - it's the only way I can see a robot like him shinning!
