Be interesting to see how he looks in fulkl make-up for the role.
I didn’t watch the clips (yet) but from the picture he is exactly how I pictured Riley.
That guy is a dead ringer for how I pictured Riley in my head! Sweet!
Exactly how I pictured him
Im diggin David Slade more & more, this is a wonderful choice for Riley, pretty much exactly how I pictured him, maybe just a bit blonder, but thats what hair and make up is for.
Im way too excited for New Moon & I think its gonna knock it outta the park, but now Im getting way to excited for Eclipse, please Summit, I cant take all this excitment, Im gonna explode!
He was also in this amazing Australian movie called September that also starred Mia Wasikowski, the new Alice in Wonderland.
This is how I pictured Riley :],but a little blonder, but this will do.
I can see him playing Riley. All they have to do is give him blonde hair. Another good casting choice.
Excellent choice! Exactly how I pictured him too when I was reading Eclipse. I can’t wait for New Moon…but I really can’t wait for Eclipse – it was by far my favourite of the four.
You know what I find amazing? All the casting that’s been done so far just seems so spot on in terms of looks. They’ve all been exactly how I pictured them when reading. This is no exception.
I’m surprised no one said this (unless no one thinks this) but man is he HOT! Wow. Two hot guys in one movie. Can’t hardly wait!

I wouldn’t say ALL the casting has been spot on, although Edward’s part was accurately cast. But I honestly pictured Jacob looking a bit better, Mike having the spiky blond hair, Jessica, Eric, Mike and Bella looked a lot better than I would have imagined, Carlisle wasn’t as attractive as Stephenie Meyer had written him to be. I think Alice was probably the most off. Her counterpart has dark brown hair when it’s supposed to be black, and she doesn’t have the high ringing voice, laugh, and energetic personality that Alice is supposed to have. I’m not complaining about the cast, and I know this comment is super long considering what it’s about, but these are things I couldn’t help but notice during the movie (esp. Alice). Good cast, just some of the people don’t match their character’s descriptions the way they were written.
the only casting that throws me WAY off is rosalie…i mean the actress in real life has DARK hair. i hate that she’s not a natural blonde or closer to it. it looks very off. other than that, good casting.
In response to Stranger than family’s comment, I thought Alice was the most perfectly cast. Ashley Greene’s portrayal was spot on. And she does have black hair in New Moon, so you can blame the original hair color on the costume people. Casting for Rosalie was horrible. Not much we cna do about it now.
*Stranger than Emily
He is handsome..

WOW!!! he is sooooooo HOT! and WAAAAAAAAAAAY better looking that robert pattinson!!!
they need to lighten his hair. i imagined him more blond. and blue eyed. otherwise, nice pick.
He is hot!
He’s hot & he’s Aussie. It’s great to see an Aussie getting involved in big screen productions like Twilight.
[...] hold me? Check out a stage from “Newcastle,” (via) a final pierce Xavier starred in prior to signing upon to “Eclipse” as well as try to [...]
Look out for Xavier Samuel as a lead in an upcoming independent Australian feature called “Drowning”. Should be beautiful.
