Before Twilight, Cam Gigandet has mostly appeared in recurring roles on TV and on some small-budgeted movies. But that all changed when he was cast in last year’s Twilight, where he played the bad vamp James opposite Robert Pattinson. According to the actor, Twilight has opened new doors for him in Hollywood.

I imagine since being part of Twilight you’ve been able to make a lot আরো choices in terms of the roles আপনি take.
Yeah, that’s opened up so many doors, and I’m so grateful for what that movie’s done. It was really kind of a special little slice of life that brought me where I am today. Thankfully I got to do other things.

Do আপনি feel somewhat grateful that আপনি were there for the first one only? Robert Pattinson’s life is never going to be the same. আপনি don’t have to be chased down the রাস্তা দ্বারা screaming girls অথবা anything.
Yeah, exactly. We talked about this before we even started the movie, and that was one of the big selling points. Me, myself, I wasn’t interested in doing that for the rest of my life. It was kind of the perfect balance for that movie.

Cam is currently starring with Dannis Quaid in the thriller, Pandorum.
