blog.taragana.com: 90210 hunk DUSTIN MILLIGAN has revealed he was a front runner for the role of brooding vampire Edward Cullen in the TWILIGHT movie saga – but he missed out because he wasn’t British enough.

The young actor, who played Ethan in the first season of the hit TV drama, auditioned for Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, but lost out to Brit Robert Pattinson.

He says, “Unfortunately, I didn’t have a British accent, so, I didn’t get the job”.

As upset as he was about not landing the lead role, Mulligan admits he was really disappointed about the fact he wouldn’t be working with his In the Land of Women co-star Kristen Stewart again.

I haven’t seen the new ‘90210’ but I just can’t imagine anyone BUT Robert Pattinson playing Edward Cullen. I am not sure if I believe that he lost out on the role because he lacked an accent. I mean, Robert speaks with an american accent in the film…so what the heck? Sounds like Dustin has a case of sour grapes to me.

Do you think Dustin have made a good Edward Cullen?
