Biography |
Robert "Rob" Pattinson (born 13 May 1986) is an English
actor and former model, best known for playing Cedric
Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
He became involved in amateur theatre through the Barnes
Theatre Club. After some backstage experience there, he took
on acting roles. He caught the attention of an acting agent
in a production of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, and began
looking for professional roles.
Since then he has performed in an amateur version of Macbeth
at the Old Sorting Office Arts Centre (also in West London),
as well as trying his hand at modelling, for which he was
sometimes credited as Robert Thomas-Pattinson.
He had supporting roles in the made for television film Ring
of the Nibelungs (2004), and in director Mira Nair’s 2004
Vanity Fair, although his scenes in the latter were deleted,
and only appear on the DVD version.
He was slated to appear in a stage production of The Woman
Before in May 2005, but was fired shortly before the opening
night. He was replaced by Tom Riley.
In late 2005, Pattinson appeared as the character Cedric
Diggory in the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Consequently, he was named that year's British Star of
Tomorrow by Times Online and has more than once been touted
as the next Jude Law, and was considered for the 2007
membership list for The Coterie as an honorary member. He
names Jack Nicholson as his acting inspiration.
He has a role in the as-yet unreleased short film The Summer
House and will next work on the vampire film After Dark. |
