Until you hit A-list status you can't say no to a job as an actor, you just can't. Even if he DOESN'T like this movie or this book or the script, he gets given a role/auditions for a role and goes with it.

Would you go into work after being there for 6 mons and tell your boss that you want a better position? No. You work your way up. It's the same in acting. You have to be at the top before you can get picky.

plus twilight is such a big popular franchise and he could get a lot people to notice him from being apart of it

I agree. Even though Twilight was a total piece of crap...Kristen Stewart does such a bad acting job it ruins the whole film.
But Jamie is actually a good actor, at least in the few films I've seen him in. Most people don't know who he is, unless they've seen Sweeney Todd. New Moon will be viewed by so many people that it will greatly widen his fan base.
His character will also be back in Breaking Dawn, which guarantees him another film, and another pay check. Only about 2% of actors can call themselves "working actors". He has to do something to make a name for himself so he can get more roles.

Well said!
I hate Twilight but when I found out he was in the new one, I didn't go, "OH GOD. WHAT A LOSER"

I didn't even say anything... jsut good on him for making his name well known. He's in Vogue this month, working his way up.

I totally agree!!! I mean, since he took the part, Caius has become my second favorite character after Edward.

I can see where the people are coming- they probably don't want girls to gawk and scream over him without even taking his work seriously (ahem paging robert pattinson)- but that's still NO reason to trash him to for taking one little role.

he was hardly in the film, my friend said he had one line in the film.

If you rejected a role in Twilight, you would be he stupidest dickhead ever. It's the biggest film franchise recently. Why on earth would you knock that back.
