Biography |
Taylor Lautner is an American actor and martial artist who
is perhaps best known for his 2005 family film performances
in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D with
Taylor Dooley and Cheaper by the Dozen 2 with Steve Martin
and Alyson Stoner. He also appeared on the UPN/CW TV series
Love Inc. He will portray Jacob Black in the upcoming film
Twilight.
Taylor was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan to mom, Deborah,
and dad, Dan. He is of French, Dutch, and German descent.
When asked about playing Native American character Jacob
Black in the 2008 film, Twilight, he revealed that he has
some Native American ancestry, specifically Ottawa and
Potawatomi.
Lautner began studying karate at the age of six, training at
Fabiano's Karate School in Holland, Michigan. By the
following year, he began winning tournaments. He was soon
invited to train with seven-time world karate champion Mike
Chat and, when he was eight, he was asked to represent his
country in the twelve years and under division in the World
Karate Association where he proved himself by becoming the
Junior World Forms and Weapons champion, winning three gold
medals.
Lautner began his acting career after his martial arts
instructor persuaded him to audition for a part in a Burger
King advertisement in Los Angeles. Although he was
unsuccessful, he enjoyed the experience so much that decided
to pursue a career in acting. Soon, he and his family were
traveling back-and-forth from their home in Michigan to
California so that Taylor could audition for acting roles on
a regular basis. When Lautner was ten, his family relocated
to Los Angeles to allow him to pursue acting full-time.
He continued to flourish in the martial arts circuit; in
2003, at only eleven years old, he was ranked number one in
the world for NASKA's Black Belt Open Forms, Musical
Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms and, by
the age of twelve, he won Junior World Championships.
Taylor has a younger sister named Makena. He will be a
junior at Valencia High School (Santa Clarita, California)
for the 2008-09 school year. In his spare time, Taylor loves
playing football and baseball, and he is a fan of the Texas
Longhorns and Michigan Wolverines. He is a part of the Hart
Baseball Program in the Los Angeles area, where he plays
center field and second base. He also participates in the
"LA Hip Kids", a hip-hop dance group, and "Hot Shots", a
performing jazz dance group. |
