Australian actor Xavier Samuel's life changed when he was chosen for the role of Riley Biers in the 2010 blockbuster "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." Until then, he had been a moderately successful actor in his home country, making his TV debut in 2003. After a few years studying theater, he made several film appearances, starring in the 2007 period drama "September," the family drama "Newcastle," and the horror film "The Loved Ones."
