Is it really that hard to tell the difference?

Ok, every Twilight fan knows that in the movie Jacob Black is being played by Taylor Lautner. So why is it that people keep showing pictures of Steven Strait (the guy from Sky High, 10,000 B.C., & The Covenant) as playing Jacob Black?

This is Taylor Lautner who will be playing Jacob

And this is Steven Strait, who is nowhere in the Twilight movie.

Sorry for venting, it's just annoying. Yes I will admit that the two look similar, but Steven is too old to play Jacob.
 

I hate how one role defines an actor. His name is 'Taylor Lautner' not 'Sharkboy', thank you very much. :)

People choose Steven Strait because they prefer his appearence. And in New Moon and Eclipse, Jacob looks much older, so people use an older actor for videos for New Moon and Eclipse.
 
Honestly until yesterday I didn't even know that Taylor played "Shark Boy." I only discovered that because I was hunting for pictures of the Twilight cast.

Don't get me wrong, I think Steven Strait woul make a GREAT Jacob. Because in my opinion he just looks so much better. But he wasn't chosen. Taylor was.
 
No idea who Jacob or Sharkboy(and I know its not the actors name, I just dont know who Sharkboy is) are... but that Steven guy is hottttt.
 
Um Hi. I'm a twilight fan, just not a die-hard "OMG! TWILIGHT!!!AHHH!! MY LIFE! EDWARD, MARRY ME!" fan.

So, no. I didn't know who was playing who. The only person I know is that they guy playing Edward isn't my first choice. Neither is Bella's actress, or this guy. I'd use a different actor in videos because later in the series Jacob is much more mature than what'shishead looks. I also still like videos with Gaspard Ulliel as Edward instead of Cedric.

As for Steven being too old to play Jacob...

well, Daniel Radcliffe will be turning 19 this July. His character is a couple years younger than him and if they keep making movies at the same pace, he'll be well into his 20s by the time Harry hits his 7th year. Rupert Grint will be turning 20 this year and thus will also be quite a bit older than his character. So long as they can act young, their actual age doesn't really matter. Steven and Taylor are 6 years apart in age, but I'd pick Steven any day. Werewolves grow up fast. Besides, Taylor isn't hairy enough to play a werewolf.
 
That first guy has a REALLY young face on an older looking body? Am I the only one that thinks it looks slightly weird..

They look kinda similar I guess..

OK I agree.
I like Twilight a lot. I can read the books over and over and not get tired of them.
I just started liking the books a month or two ago, but I really know them cover to cover.

But now I'm a little cranky.
Who the heck pushed Gaspard Ulliel out of the picture?
He'd make a way better Edward than RP!
Arghh.

And I'm fine with that Taylor guy being Jacob. It's how I imagined him. Plus, he's a hottie xD
 
Just remember, Jacob is supposed to look young in the first book. It's pre-werewolf Jacob. He's not supposed to be muscular yet.
 
First of all, Gaspard Ulliel is 24, almost 25. He doesnt fit the role of a 17-year-old
 
I thought this was about Jacob...
OH WELL.

I think Edward should be Johnny Depp.
:lmao:
Mind you, I think every role should be played by Johnny Depp.
 
i disagree on all counts with casting.

::yes::
Most of the characters I don't like. Especially Bella. Kristen Stewert seems really wrong for the part.

And I work with a Jacob look-a-like. It's really creepy. He has dark skin (he's Mexican), long dark hair (he wears it in a ponytail a lot) he's very nice (like Jacob is to Bella) and he's tall and pretty muscular. It's so weird being around him, I'm so tempted to call him Jacob sometimes.
