Robert Pattinson became a movie heartthrob after appearing as the ill-fated Cedric in two Harry Potter movies.  Pattinson was born in London and began acting in his teens, performing with the historic Barnes Theater Company in London.  He won a small part in a German TV production of Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelungs (2004) and was darkly handsome in a brief appearance opposite Reese Witherspoon in the 2004 film Vanity Fair.  That led to his biggest break: he was chosen to play the young wizard Cedric Diggory in the films Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007).  He was then cast as young vampire Edward Cullen--smitten with Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan--in the film Twilight (2008), based on the popular teen books by Stephenie Meyer.

	Pattinson plays guitar and piano, and composes his own music.  He also appears as the singer of two songs on the Twilight soundtrack: "Never Think", which he co-wrote with Sam Bradley, and "Let Me Sign", which was written by Marcus Foster and Bobby Long.  The songs were included in the film after director Catherine Hardwicke added Pattinson's recordings into an early cut without his knowledge, and he agreed that "one of them specifically, it really made the scene better.  It was like it was supposed to be there."  Aside from recording for the soundtrack, Pattinson has said, "I've never really recorded anything - I just played in pubs and stuff", and when asked about a professional music career, he said, "Music is my back-up plan if acting fails.” In 2008, he also performed with his first girlfriend's current boyfriend's band, called "Bad Girls".
