One can find many tribute artists or lookalikes at conventions such as Sunburst Celebrity Tribute Artist Convention and the Celebrity Impersonators Convention. One will find, at such events, all kinds of celebrity and character lookalikes or tribute artusts maybe even including Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen. In other words, New Moon's new look - rather, new lookalike!
It was at one of these conventions where many fans thought they did see the actor Robert Pattinson, known for portraying many characters in many films, two of which have been the Harry Potter and Twilight sequels.
Turns out the gentleman the fans saw and met was also an actor, as well as a professional lookalike or tribute artist, his name is Brandon Register-Watford.
Like Robert Pattinson, Brandon even possesses all of Pattinson's same "measurements." Brandon moved from Belgravia, England (near London), to America when he was 14. He had relatives, on his mother's side, in the states.
Brandon is now located in Orlando, Florida and is available to work anywhere and everywhere possible. He loves to travel, and the combination of portraying his character and traveling while doing so excites him.
He has been an entertainer for quite some time. His previous field of work was as a behind-the-scenes producer/director of television documentaries and commercials.
Brandon Register-Watford began in the lookalike business when the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire came out. One of the film's characters, Cedric Diggory, seemed to have an uncanny resmemblance to Brandon, or vice versa. People kept telling him of the similarities.
When the trailers for Twilight began to surface he was bombarded with e-mails, myspace messages and comments complete with links to the videos. Everyone insisted that he looked like the lead Vampire Edward (Pattinson).
Brandon's comment about the Pattinson similarities:
I scoffed and immediately dismissed the resemblance. But then my friend and stylist Jamie MacMillan got hold of the reigns and formed a type of fan club for the novels. She badgered me until I relented to dressing as Edward and making an appearance. I did so and the screams haven't stopped since. She is, in fact, the person responsible for my Edward impersonation career. She created the makeup, style and even the hair color. She is phenomenal."
'Fans' think Brandon is too. Even though he has no intention of ever saying that he is really Robert Pattinson, he doesn't have to. Brandon is a talent in his own right and just happens to look like another (talent). Great look(alike) Brandon!
Another great look is that of Steve Hurst's "Adam Lambert."
