Xavier Samuel Confirmed as Riley in Eclipse!

It was recently rumored that Xavier Samuel would be playing Riley in the third installment of the Twilight Saga, Eclispe. It has now been confirmed by Xavier himself and Summitt also! Here is the story:


The 25-year-old Adelaide-born and Sydney-based actor’s career has so far focused on small and independent Australian films.


The vampire movies have already made hot properties of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the latter now comes with his own travelling pack of obsessive teen fans.


“I’m in a bit of a daze but it’s a wonderful bit of news,” Samuel exclusively told Confidential from Los Angeles last night.


Samuel has only recently hit Tinseltown after appearing in five small Australian films including Newcastle, where he played a Goth teenager among a group of surfers, September and the upcoming Road Train, where he stars as one of a group of teens terrorised by an out-of-control truck.

In Eclipse he takes on the role of a newborn vampire named Riley, a good-looking university student involved in a plot to kill Stewart’s character Bella.


Samuel is still getting his head around the Twilight phenomenon.


“I managed to catch the film on the way over on the plane,” he said. He admitted he’s not read any of the best-selling books of the series - yet.


“I’m going to start reading the first one tonight.”
