Born on May 13, 1986, in London, England, actor Robert Pattinson first became known to audiences for his role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Pattinson's performances drew notice and in 2003, at the age of 17, he jumped from the stage to the screen, nabbing a role in the TV movie Ring of the Nibelungs. The work required him to move to South Africa for several months, where the movie was being filmed. An unaccredited role in Vanity Fair(2004) followed.
Around the same time that he was finishing up work on those two projects, Pattinson met with Mike Newell, the eventual director of 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The meeting and subsequent audition earned Pattinson the role of Cedric Diggory, Harry Potter's friend and a fellow wizard. The movie and the role propelled Pattinson's life a...
A big Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson fan, Pattinson's post-Potter plan was to take on smaller roles in plays or films that could let him explore unique characters. He did go on to play a shell-shocked World War II veteran in the BBC thriller The Haunted Airman (2005); a student with a teacher crush in The Bad Mother's Handbook (2006); and make a ...

Pattinson then reunited with his Twilight cast for New Moon (2009), as well as three more films, 2010's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and parts 1 and 2 of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.
Between filming the Twilight series' later films, Pattinson worked on such notable films as 2010's Remember Me and 2011's Water for Elephants, alongside Reese Witherspoon. In 2012, Pattinson landed one of his most challenging roles yet, playing young billionaire Eric Packer in the drama Cosmopolis, which met with early success from audiences and cr...
While the heartthrob buzz subsided somewhat after Twilight ran its course, Pattinson continued to ply his craft in critically acclaimed films.

Pattinson then landed another supportin...
