Happy 28th birthday to 'Twilight' and 'New Moon' star Justin Chon!

Justin Chon, who portrays Eric Yorkie in Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon has had an interesting last couple of years.

Turning 28 today, the Twilight star portrays 17-year-old Eric in the series with charisma and unforseeable excellence.

Having made his Hollywood name in short stints on television series such as Jack & Bobby, The O.C., and Just Jordan, Chon had been in a couple of films before as well. Playing small roles in films such as Taki & Luci, Puff, Puff, Pass, and Hack!, Chon was no stranger to the film set.

But in 2008, when Justin Chon became Eric Yorkie in Catherine Hardwicke's Twilight, his big-screen experience become a little different.

Since starring in Twilight, Chon has taken on roles in films like Balls Out: Gary The Tennis Coach and Crossing Over. Spotted nearing the set in Vancouver to reprise his role as Yorkie in Chris Weitz's The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Chon's career, it seems, is only beginning.

Happy birthday to you, Justin Chon, and many well-wishes for a prosperous and full future.
