Robert Thomas-Pattinson was born on May 13th, 1986 in London, England. He began modeling when he was 12, but after 4 years, when modeling jobs became scarce, turned to acting. He is remembered by many fans for playing the roll of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), however it was his role as Edward Cullen in Twilight (2008), based on the bestseller by Stephenie Meyer, that really catapulted him into stardom. He will appear once again as Edward in the film's upcoming sequel, New Moon.
