’Twilight’ star Xavier Samuel got one of his big breaks after appearing in the 2008 winning OPTUS ONE80PROJECT flick, ’Dream Life’.
And now the thespian – who has recently gone on to bag a starring role as Riley in the ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ – has returned the favour.
The actor will be one of the judges deciphering 2010’s winning film.
Xavier said: “The OPTUS ONE80PROJECT is a wonderful initiative that encourages and nurtures emerging filmmakers. I was part of the ‘Dream Life’ cast in 2008 so I’m thrilled and honoured to continue my association with the project this year on the judging panel, alongside some stellar industry figures.

First Look at Xavier as Riley
I have a sneaking suspicion that this post-Halloween, Monday morning Daily TwitPic is going to be familiar to a lot of you. With a fanbase as rabid as “Twilight”‘s, a reveal like this has a way of spreading like wildfire across the community. Still, a Daily TwitPic is a Daily TwitPic, and this one is an early glimpse at “Eclipse.”
One of the new characters introduced in the saga’s third book/movie is Riley, who will be played by Xavier Samuel. He’s a newborn vampire in the thrall of Victoria (previously Rachelle Lefevre, now Bryce Dallas Howard), a pawn the vampiress uses in her plans for exacting revenge on Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) for the death of her mate, James (Cam Gigandet). To celebrate last week’s successful “Eclipse” wrap. director David Slade posted this first look at Samuel-as-Riley “between set ups.”

Remember to check out Brian Warmoth’s Twitter-Wood column every day for an early jump on your Daily TwitPic.

Xavier Samuel Talks with Teen Vogue

The 26-year-old Eclipse star stopped by to chat about music, film and television. Check it:
On one of his fave bands of the moment: “I’m really into this new African band called The Very Best. There’s this amazing track on their album, The Warm Heart of Africa, called ‘Chikondi.’ It’s got that kind of magnetic feel to it.”
On becoming obsessed with Lost: “Bryce [Dallas Howard] actually got me a DVD set of Lost which I really want to get into. I don’t really watch that much these days, but I’ll admit I used to watch Dawson’s Creek and The O.C. growing up in Australia.”
On filming Eclipse in Vancouver: “Playing Riley was cool–I get to boss around a bunch of newborn vampires. I had a really good time hanging out with everyone in Vancouver. I play the guitar, so Jackson [Rathbone] and I had a few jams together–Rob [Pattinson] plays as well, he’s really good. It’s kind of awesome when you go to the other side of the world and find a bunch of people who are all into music and like the same bands as you.”

Xavier Shoots Stalker Scene…
According to www.laineygossip.com, Xavier shot his Scenes in which Riley gets all stalkerish on Bella and Robert realises something is up.
As I reported yesterday filming has been mostly on a soundstage for scenes at “Bella’s” house. For you Twilight fans interested in what they’ve been up to:
Wednesday’s shoot involved a creepy Riley getting all stalkerish in Bella’s room and “Edward” the hero realising someone was there.
