Twilight Series

Wishing Kellan Lutz a very happy birthday from all of us at Twilightseries.co.za

Kellan was born on 15 March 1985, in Dickinson, North Dakota, USA, as Kellan Christopher Lutz.  He has six brothers and one sister and grew up in Arizona.

He started modeling when he was 14 years old.  After graduating high school he moved to California to attend Chapman University for chemical engineering, but later decided to pursue an acting career instead. Had he not chosen this path, however, he also considered trying to become a Navy SEAL.  In Lutz’s free time, he likes to take part in extreme skateboarding, weight training, track, baseball, basketball, lacrosse, swimming, tennis, racquetball, badminton, snow skiing, snowboarding, dance, and numerous other activities. He also has a passion for horror films, and prefers to perform his own stunts when making films. Lutz has close friendships with his Twilight co-stars, particularly Ashley Greene and Jackson Rathbone whom he knew before the film began filming. He says that his 23rd birthday was spent with the cast, saying, “I hung out with the cast of Twilight and went on a crazy adventure with a loony cab driver.”

Lutz has acted on a number of television shows. He had recurring roles on Model Citizens and The Comeback, and smaller roles in episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, CSI: NY, Summerland, Six Feet Under, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Heroes. He was also in the films Stick It, Accepted and Prom Night.  He also appeared in the 2006 commercial for Hilary Duff’s fragrance With Love… Hilary Duff, and in the 2007 music video for her single, “With Love”. In 2008 he appeared in another music video, Hinder’s “Without You”. In the same year, Lutz also appeared in the miniseries Generation Kill, based on the book by Evan Wright.  He also appeared as George Evans in the 90210.

But we know him best for his part as the ever friendly vampire, Emmet Cullen in Twilight.  He reprised his role as Emmet for both New Moon (2009) and Eclipse (due out 30/06/2010).  Lutz will be reuniting with his Twilight co-star and close friend, Ashley Greene, in the 2009 film Warrior. Kellan will also appear in A Nightmare on Elm Street as Dean, “a well-liked, well-off high school jock” in April 2010.
