  Henry Cavill
  A british actor.
  Stephenie Meyer wanted him to play Edward Cullen in the movie, but since she has not part in choosing the actors for the movie, the director chose Robert Pattinson.

  Henry Cavill. He grew up in Jersey, Channel Islands. Jersey is his home but he is currently, in his own words, “floating around the world.” He has four brothers and a pet parrot.
  Henry Cavill was a main actor the boarding school he attended. The boarding school, Stowe School, is located in Buckingham. His roles include Oberon in a rendition of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and Sonny in “Grease”. He also starred as Hamlet in “40 Minutes”, which he also happens to have directed. Henry Cavill starred in Dennis Berry’s Laguna opposite Joe Mantegna. He enjoyed working in Laguna more than all his other movies because he played the lead and therefore developed a close relationship with the director.
  Since then he has appeared in a couple of well-known movies such as The Count of Monte Cristo and I Capture the Castle. He also has a number of lesser-known movies, and television movies. He delivered a captivating performance as Chas Quilter in Inspector Lynley’s Mysteries: Well-Schooled in Murder.
  He has worked with the actor Bill Nighy twice, once in I Capture the Castle and also Well-Schooled in Murder. He has worked with the young actor Joe Sowerbutts three times, also in ‘Capture’, ‘Well-Schooled’ and briefly in Goodbye, Mr. Chips.
  He was Stephenie Meyer’s first choice to play Edward in the adaptation of “Twilight,” but by the time the film came to be, he was 25-years old, and no longer looked the part of a 17-year old. And also because Stephenie Meyers had no say in the casting.

  Henry William Dalgliesh Cavill, he’s a 25-year-old British actor who’s auditioned for Batman Begins and the Superman movie in the past. In December 2005 he was named “the unluckiest man in Hollywood” by Empire magazine because he had been under heavy consideration for both parts but didn’t get either one. Here are some pictures of him:http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=…

  Henry Cavill, He didn’t get to play Edward because he was too old by the time Twilight became a project and also because Stephenie didn’t have much say in the matter, but she did say they did an excellent job on casting.

  It was Henry Cavill.
  He is a cute British actor who’s only been in a few things before and maybe she thought of him as Edward or something and he was her first choice. It was almost for sure he was gonna be Edward but then Rob got the part right at the last minite.
