We love Edward. He’s everything we expect our men to be. Too bad they haven’t gotten the hint yet! Yet, we have an actor who portrays our favorite boy in the movies. In our minds has Edward become Rpattz and Rpattz become Edward? Will we continue to support Rob after the movie franchise finishes and he relinquishes his role as Edward, or will we allow him to fade into the woodworks of other actors who became famous by playing a certain role?

For example, perhaps one of the sexiest actors playing a male tormented vampires to grace the silver screen is David Boreanez (Angel from the late 90s TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.) That man was born to play Angel just like Rpattz was born to play Edward. David now stars in a successful series, Bones, with new and old fans. Does Rob have enough acting talent to actually get that next gig and make money for these studios?

His face is everywhere, that’s for sure, and you would have to live under a rock not to at least recognize who he is. From Twilight party favors to posters to billboards, he’s everywhere. He’s selling without even realizing he’s selling things. His Twilight movies alone have beaten records at the Box Office. Girls chase him down the street and he even almost got run over once. But the question again is are girls screaming for “Rob” or “Edward.”

With the impending release of Remember Me, he’s up for a challenge. Will his fans support him in a different character, or will he be typecast into Edward-esque characters to please his fans and draw in that revenue? From the movie trailer (which looks soooo good!) it seems as if he’s going to play another Twilight-esque character.

Rob does have acting talent and he should use Twilight to launch his career and do what he wants with it. Much like Daniel Radcliffe who has been successful on Broadway.

But let’s face it. Rob was made to play that type of character. The tortured soul, so to speak. He has the potential to play more than Edward, but will his fans want to see him that way. Would we have wanted to see Clint Eastwood (old guy, did a bunch of Western movies) in anything other than a Western? Would we want to see Adam Sandler do anything but a comedy? Would we want to see Johnny Depp play someone sane?

For Twihards, Rob equals Edward. End of story. Even if he does portray other characters, we’ll still keep it in our heads that he’s Edward. As an actor, he allows us to project our love of a fictional character that lived in our minds long before the movies onto a physical being.

What Rob needs to do next is prove to his fan base that he can continue to make great characters we want to love. Remember Me has a lot of promise based on the trailer and many people should go see it, even if he didn’t reprise his role of Edward.

For now, he’ll continue appearing on Twilight party favors and other merchandise. And we’ll continue loving him as Edward. But it would be even better to love Rob the actor.
