    Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black hide show

    I am a true, die-heart fan of Taylors' ever since his role as Sharkboy and when I found out that he was going to be staring as Jacob Black, the HAWT werewolf with rock-hard abs, I went bazark!! In the first movie, Twilight, he did pretty well with his short appearance, but, I wasn't quite impressed with the movie. It seemed kind of slow and dreary, but in the 2nd establishment, New Moon, Edward says goodbye to Bella. GoOd RiDeNcE!! Taylor had a much, much bigger part in this movie where he becomes the shoulder to cry on, therefore, squeezing his 107 degree swimmers body into the Bella love triangle. Edward is not impressive to me at all. I mean, who wants a cold vampire with a 50/50 chance of killing you. Therefore, I am Team Jacob even though I know that Edward wins... (((sigh))) PS: He Is VeRy HaWt!!

    Really has a future ahead of him! hide show

    Think that Taylor is more than just Jacob Black and that he has an acting future ahead of him. Knowing that the guy can act. He isn't in the business for his martial arts and good looks. He is in there for the long run as the guy is smart enough and hopefully can choose the right roles for him. Saw him a little bit in Sharkboy and Lava Girl. He can play with happiness and angst at the same time. That is what makes him good. And that is why he is in the business and will be in it for the long run.
