BBC News has exclusively revealed that British actor Jamie Campbell Bower has signed on to play Volturi vampire Caius in New Moon.
The 20-year-old London born actor was last seen in RocknRolla and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and has recently appeared in an episode of TV show The Prisoner.
Bower will be playing the role of Caius, one of three leaders of ancient vampire clan the Volturi, and will join Dakota Fanning, who was previously cast as Jane. When asked about the books, he said, "I hadn't read the books before. But it's a great thing to be a part of, and it did very well last year."
No wonder he's looking forward to appearing in the movie -- this could make him a household name for at least the next three years. We're sure he'll be up to speed with the books soon enough, or he could find himself with an angry pack of Twilighters to answer to.
