Notoriously, Robert Pattinson auditioned for the role of "Edward Cullen" because of Stewart's phenomenal portrayal of "Tracy Tatro," and, now, Justin Chon ("Eric Yorkie") has revealed that he, too, came into readings for the part because of her work.
Chon did a very interesting and revealing interview with the Korea Times where he talked about his start in the film industry, noting that he expected his catapult to be his film Crossing Over, not Twilight. He also revealed that he was, initially, uninterested in auditioning for the role of "Eric" but reconsidered when he saw who was attached to the project.
Chon initially did not want to even audition for ``Twilight'' but he changed his mind once he heard that the indie filmmaker Hardwicke was directing and that Kristen Stewart was part of the cast. He had been impressed by the actress in ``Into the Wild''; and during his own trip to Alaska, he camped near the film site.
Very interesting, huh? Note that the interview with Korea Times is very comprehensive and makes for a good, informative read.
