"...it was my first instinct that taylor was, is, and should
be jacob, and that the books would be best served
by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. i think
that fans of twilight the book and the movie will be
surprised by the jacob black that taylor will bring to
the screen in new moon."

in the words of the taylor fan site, i’m a taylor tot. he’s just perfect.
i love his smile. whenever he smiles, it brightens my day. he always looks
happy and it just makes you happy because the energy through the pictures
gets through to you. he is just gorgeous. just looking at his abs is a
total *thud* taylor is just a gorgeous talented actor that is amazing. plain
and simple. taylor is jacob. he is incredibly dedicated for one. he is packing
on the pounds of muscles so he can play jacob. he doesn’t want his appearance
to stop him from playing a role he wants. taylor has charisma, a likable personality,
he is cute as jacob. he loves the fans and feels grateful. the
most important of all is, he loves what he does. jacob just fits taylor like
a glove. he understands the character and plays him like no one else can.

why i love taylor? why wouldn't i love the guy? he's absolutely amazing. it's hard
to believe his guy is 16 years old; he's so mature and talented. he really brought
the character jacob to life on the big screen. he has the cutest smile that
brightens up the entire room. he makes you want to smile; he's so dopey. it's
adorable. you're just drawn to his positive energy. he is cute, fantastic, adorable,
sexy, mature, smart, and hot all in one.

i was not really happy when they cast taylor lautner at first. i thought
he was too young and not the right physical stature to play jacob. then i saw
him at the 2008 san diego comic con for the twilight talk and the boy grew on me.
I saw how committed he was to the fans and was very friendly and warm. however
i still was not convinced that taylor could pull jacob black off. then i saw twilight i
was blown away by taylor performance! he is what i always pictured jacob to be.
warm, shy, friendly, innocent and yet strong and fierce at the same time. it is so
funny much like my feeling for taylor lautner the same went for jacob black when i
was reading the twilight saga. in the beginning when i was reading twilight i hated
jacob black and then jacob grew on me and by the time breaking dawn came
around i fell in love with him and he became one of my favorite characters in the
saga. then i was crushed and worried when i learned that taylor lautner was not
going to be jacob black in new moon. i was sitting there saying "no give him a
chance he has so much potential"! after that i was rooting for taylor lautner to
prove that he had what it took to be jacob black and i was so impressed with how
dedicated he was to the role and bulked up and gained 19 pounds of muscle
being he knew his character changes so much physically in new moon! you could
tell how dedicated he was and how much he was fighting to keep this role! i was
so excited when i found out that he was able to keep his role. taylor is jacob
black and just like jacob he as proven he has what it takes and is fighting just as
hard to keep this role and make jacob black the great wolf alpha leader he was
meant to be!
