A role can make or break an actor, and the fan-following of actors like Robert Downey jr (Iron Man), Johnny Deep (Captain Jack Sparrow), Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) and many more are proof. While some gradually gained fame and became global stars, Robert was pretty much an overnight sensation.
While Pattinson appeared in films Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory and Art in How to Be, his portrayal of the vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga films made him a household name. Robert played the character in all five films of the franchise – Twilight (2008), New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010), Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) & Part 2 (2012).
