14 years have passed since the lion fell in love with the sheep. The story of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, protagonists of the saga Twilight, fell in love with millions of people around the world. For obvious reasons, fans of the movie pentalogy are able to recognize every dialogue, scene, song, and character in the saga; but for those spectators who never saw the saga, or flatly hated it, today we present a selection with those actors from Twilight that you probably don’t remember anymore. Because yes, believe it or not, there were big names involved in this vampire romance.
Anna Kendrick – Jessica Stanley
The first film in the saga introduced us to Bella’s human friends. Among them stood out the irreverent Jessica Stanley, who gave life to Anna Kendrick. Although now it might seem a little small to us, the truth is that in 2008 (when it was released Twilight), few were the actors with a great career in the saga. Curiously, the Oscar nominee for nonstop love he forgot his participation in the saga. In 2018, ten years after the premiere, Kendrick posted a hilarious tweet:
“Shit. I just remembered I was in Twilight.”
Christian Serratos – Angela Weber
the protagonist of Selena: the series also debuted with the first installment. But if Kendrick’s participation was little memorable, Serratos’s is even more reduced. Despite appearing until the fourth film, Angela Weber contributed very little (at least in the films) to the story of Bella and Edward.
Dakota Fanning – Jane
For the second movie, New Moon, the production had the luxury of looking for slightly better-known actors for supporting roles. In the case of Jane, a member of the Volturi clan, Dakota Fanning was the chosen one. Fans of the series were delighted by her understated, yet intense turn as the evil bloodsucker capable of inflicting pain with just a look.
Michael Sheen – Hoop
This enigmatic and charming villain couldn’t have fallen into better hands. Although the character was not particularly well written, Michael Sheen understood his work very well and did not take his involvement in the saga very seriously. Thanks to this, Aro became one of the funniest characters in the five films. He has recently appeared in films like Passengers and nocturnal animals.
Jamie Campbell Bower-Caius
The interpreter of the iconic Vecna of stranger things also had a part in Twilight. He appeared in three of the five movies and was part of the Volturi clan. Unfortunately, his appearances are reduced to no more than fifteen speeches in all of history. Ironically, he starred in Shadowhunters, a film that sought to take the place of the vampire saga once it ended. This movie failed miserably.
Bryce Dallas Howard – Victory
The villain of the first three films faced a recast during the production of Eclipse. Due to time constraints, Rachelle Lefevre had to drop out of the role, and Bryce Dallas Howard took her place. Fortunately, the redhead made her debut in the film where Victoria was a central part of the plot. Currently, the actress recently starred in the trilogy jurassicworldone of the most successful in recent years.
Rami Malek – Benjamin
Yes, the Oscar winner for Bohemian Rhapsody was one of the actors who joined Twilight in his last movie. The then unknown actor played one of the most powerful characters: Benjamin, who could control the four elements. Thanks to his power, he starred in one of the most memorable sequences of the last installment.
Lee Pace–Garrett
Before joining the MCU as Ronan the Accuser, this American-born actor gave life to Garrett, a vampire who joined the Cullen family to face the final battle against the Volturi in Dawn Part 2. Although he lacked powers, this brazen bloodsucker provided some of the best gags in said film. Later we could see it in the trilogy The Hobbit.
Angela Sarafyan – Aunt
If you don’t remember Sarafyan’s participation in Dawn Part 2It’s because his character didn’t have a single dialogue for almost two hours. Fortunately, the actress had her chance to shine in Westworld; To his bad luck, the series was just cancelled.
Noel Fisher-Vladimir
The remembered Mickey Milkovich of shameless he was also a vampire. His character, a bloodsucker of Romanian origin, had a particular hatred for the Volturi clan. Unfortunately, he is one of the most wasted actors in the entire saga. Twilight.
