Xavier Samuel: Twilight’s new vampire from Aussie

Australian actor Xavier Samuel has just landed himself a role in Eclipse — the third flick of the ever-popular Twilight franchise.

The 25-year-old will play Riley, a good-looking college student who joins the plot of villain Victoria to murder protagonist Bella (Kristen Stewart) according to THR. Riley is corrupted by Victoria, for whom he has an inexplicable weakness.
Samuel is at the forefront of the Twilight Saga: Eclipse’s newborn vampire army. Generally speaking, those newborn vampires are stronger, hungrier, and wetter (at least in the photo) than older vampires such as those found in the Cullen Family.
