Rosalie’s love interest Royce King II is sparsely characterized in the Twilight source novels, but despite this, the character is played (for a few short sepia-toned moments) by Boardwalk Empire star and future Ben-Hur actor Jack Huston (interestingly, Huston also played Jack Kerouac in Kill Your Darlings the same year his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart starred in the competing Kerouac biopic On the Road).
