To say that Taylor Lautner has shot to fame in recent months would be a little bit of an understatement as the teenager has become one the biggest young stars to currently grace the big screen.

He made his big screen debut in 2005 with Cheaper By The Dozen 2 before moving onto another big screen venture in the form of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D.
After several other TV projects after Sharkboy and Lavagirl he moved back to the big screen with Twilight, the first of the Stephenie Meyer novels to be adapted for the big screen.
Lautner landed the role of Bella's childhood friend Jacob Black and despite only a handful of minutes on screen he became one of the young stars to keep an eye on.
He returned to the role a year later for New Moon, which focuses on Jacob's transformation story.
Second time around it was a bigger role for Lautner, who almost was replaced over concerns that he would not be able to bulk up for the role.

A People's Choice Award for Favourite Breakout Actor came his way and Lautner, along with his co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, was a household name.
