His Character: James, the leader of a group of nomadic vampires who intends to kill Bella

Why we like him: Who can forget the evil Volchok from The O.C.? Cam Gigandet has shown that he can be really intense in his performance. If the clips from Twilight are any indication, he has turned the intensity up in this one. Interesting fella to watch for.
