Genius Robert Pattinson and his 15 Year Strategy

Hollywood Insider has posted a focus on Rob’s career. Below is an excerpt, but you should click on the link to read the full commentary:

“While doing indie films certainly isn’t unpopular among acclaimed actors (in fact, it is quite common) the way in which Pattinson made his left turn into the genre could have led to a quick “one and done” career, fizzling out with the singular iconic role of Edward. But Pattinson wanted to take the honest route full of refreshing roles that would stretch his acting abilities, not sticking to mindless blockbusters just so he could make large paychecks. He loved the art of acting too much for that.

…

“Of all the actors working today, no one has earned each and every taste of the satisfying success that Robert Pattinson has begun to bask in.[…] Pattinson took the long, hard, and honest road to get here, marked by strange and diverse characters many actors would be too frightened to touch with a ten-foot pole, becoming a top-five actor for those roles in my opinion. And now? Robert Pattinson is hitting the gas on these winding roads, fast-tracking his career to the “freeway,” joining the ranks of esteemed and beloved actors. That’s better than anything money or Oscar gold could ever offer.”
