Taylor has to play Jacob Black he is the only one who can.

i think that if they change actors then it will ruin the movie. i mean all they have to do is have him gain a little bit of muscle and have him where heels and it will work.

Ok. HE IS HOT. HE Played the role last time. All he has to do is get MORE muscle evwn though he has ALOT. Then wear lots of socks or high shoes and don't show his feet big grin

Hate me for saying it all you want but i was rooting for Micheal Copon. Hes an amazng actor and lets face it physically, he would make a much better Jacob. Dont get me wrong I love Taylor, hes a sweetheart, and thats the problem. I hated Jacob in the books and I cant hate Taylor. It shouldnt be a bit deal that he did the first movie because honestly to me he didnt fit the part. I think Taylor would have been better off playing Seth and letting Micheal step in. Micheal is easy to hate yet addicting, just like Jacob. Micheal would have made an AMAZING Jacob Black. Taylor has quite a challenge on his hands.

I am so happy that Taylor will be in New Moon. He's been working out really hard to be able to play Jacob in New Moon, and to me that is dedication. For him to be working out and he already gained 20 pounds in muscle, I mean come on! The guy really wants the part and he def. showed and proved that he is capable of being Jacob! He was also awesome in Twilight. Dont worry, he'll prove those negative haters wrong in his preformance =)

I think that since Taylor is going to play Jacob he totally has to get bigger. Even in the book he compares himself to be about 25 years old, I advise him to work out every day unitl they shoot and the entire shoot. But my best wishes to himand the movie. I really hope for the best.
