The Twilight writers idea of Jacob Black?


So, this is the guy that the Twilight writer wanted as Jacob Black? He looks Mexican to me.

Before Taylor Lautner was cast I actually thought he would be perfect for Jacob! Plus...he is 6'2" and Taylor isn't even 6" and Jacob in the books supposedly grows very tall throughout the course of the Twilight Saga, so I kinda thought they needed someone taller than Taylor. Of course now I think Taylor has done a good job, so it's a moot point anyway!

He's exactly who I picture when I read the books It would of actually been a competition with Edward. Taylor did do a pretty good job. except when he says "I used to be, a good kid" and "Things are going to get VERY ugly" just awful. but he was good enough to make me happy!

Team Edward? Team Jacob? Screw it, I'm team Rosalie

In my head at least, I always imagine him as Jacob Black and Henry Cavill as Edward Cullen but that's me

While I wish he had a bigger career, I'm sort of happy he didn't.
