I found this video on YouTube and it's Chris J. Kelly (sooo cuuute!!) doing his audition for Edward :O It's the scene where they're doing the onion root tip lab in bio class and *I think* the part in the hospital after Edward saves her in the parking lot so you guys get to hear part of the script. As much as I love Chris J. Kelly (Darren Shan love.. :Heart: ) I would have been disappointed if he was casted. From what I can see he's not a very good Edward. And why does he turn his shirt inside out? :rofL:

I like him.

In the crazed teenage girl way, not for an Edward. He fails, Im sorry. razz His voice isnt smooth, too many 'uh's. Edward can think fast, he doesnt mumble, and doesnt pause.

As he's going on, he gets better, he gets into it more. But he's too...I don't know. However, I know I could do better. I am my mother's twilight audio book (she wouldnt read it, so I volunteered to read it all to her. We're in New Moon now) and Ive acted these parts. He just doesnt grasp Edward's character right.

To be honest, I like him better than Robert Pattison or whoever, I really dont like him at all. AT ALL. But Im hoping he'll prove himself...any way you could reassure me here? razz

I agree with Alisox. There are too many pauses and "Uh..."s when he's reciting, and yeah, I don't think he quite understands Edward's character. But was anyone else totally captivated by his eyes? They're so..so..I dunno. They pierce into you and you don't want to look away...

There were far too many pauses, but eliminate those and I do think he would have dome well.

And yes, I have to admit, I watched that video more than once... redface

LOL! He is cute... but totally not Edward. I know it was just an audition, but he made the lines too light-hearted. Especially the last line, the "I don't know." Edward is a very, very dark character, and unfortunately, Chris just couldn't do that.

Yeah, I know it was just an audition, but I think some of his pauses were intentional. The way he portrays Edward in those scenes..I don't think Chris realizes that Edward's a really secure and dark person and wouldn't respond like a normal human. So especially when he says "maybe it's just the light" (or something like that) he sounds kind of panicky...also he makes alot of facial expressions where I think Edward would be straight faced and kind of hard to read.
I dont' know if what I said makes sense but I'm not really sure how to explain it.

But even so..Chris Kelly, I love you! whee
