Most of the Twilight stars were not major actors. Sometimes this works in their favor. The important question to ask is: who is the best actor--can he be believable in the role and not just look good?
I think Ian Somerhalder would be a good choice, but I also think that it might be better for an unknown actor to play Ian. I don't think any actor could fill the shoes of the Ian in my head though. I learned that with Jacob/Taylor, who just didn't live up to my vision, not looks as much as embodying the character-but the height or lack of was also an issue for me. Whoever they choose I'm just glad I have my Ian locked in my head, along with my Jacob :)
Moni I understand what you mean but I mean it couldn't be helped unless they used a different person for New Moon on and as they said as a reason for keeping Taylor that Native ppl just typicly arn't that tall plus he just keeps growing every book and you just can't have that unless you have a different Jacob in each movie. I'm not convinced that Ian Somerhalder is big enough to me Ian and Kyle were significantly bigger then Jared I'm leaning more towards a Kellen Lutz type
hes too old!!! come on people i dont get it with ian somerhaulder!! hes a good actor yes, but apart from that what is it that makes him ian? blue eyes? contacts do that!! i juat cant see it.
also dont forget they'v got to cast kyle, and they do want the 2 actors to look like brothers, do you really think they could do that with ian somerhaulder playing ian? hes got such a unique face theres no way they could find an older brother, unless he has an older brother!!LOL.
