MTV talked to actor Henry Cavill (a.k.a. my husband 🙂 ) about Stephenie’s desire to have him portray Edward several years ago.  Click here to read the entire article!  Maybe we can fit him in somewhere in one of the sequels…

Flashback to the early days of the “Twilight” movie, when casting was about to begin and Meyer posted the following thoughts on the movie’s lead: “Indisputably the most difficult character to cast, Edward is also the one that I’m most passionately decided upon. The only actor I’ve ever seen who I think could come close to pulling off Edward Cullen is Henry Cavill. Henry was Albert, the young son in ‘The Count of Monte Cristo.’ Can you see it? I know I can!”

After some development delays, Meyer updated her thoughts and said that Cavill had grown too old: “The most disappointing thing for me is losing my perfect Edward. … I’m not willing to relinquish Henry completely. … I propose that Henry play Carlisle!”

But regardless of Meyer’s suggestions, Twilighters would eventually fall in love with Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen and Peter Facinelli as his ageless father. “What I’ve heard, or pieced together from various sources, is that Stephenie had seen me in whatever jobs I had done previously, and I was probably perfect then,” grinned Cavill, remembering his near-casting. “But then, the ravages of time had taken their toll.”

Laughing, the good-natured actor added: “I hate myself.”
