Over time, several could-have-been contenders for main character roles in the Twilight Saga have come forth - from Shiloh Fernandez as Edward to Emily Browning as Bella, or James Franco for really any part in Breaking Dawn.

According to the Manila Bulletin, an actor named Michael Copon has explained that he almost became "Jacob Black" for the Twilight series, a role which eventually went to Taylor Lautner.
“Yeah, originally the first director was fired and then there was confusion if I still had the role because they were talks about keeping the same cast . . . Taylor and I had the same agent then" . . .
[H]e didn’t even have to audition for it as the script was handed to him by his agent for approval. Upon reading it, he knew instantly that he likes to be part of a movie about vampires and werewolves; adding that he was interested in playing the older Jacob Black.
“That’s because I’m tall at 6’2---taller than Taylor---so that kinda made sense,” Copon said of the predilection.
