Royce not originally in Eclipse script?!

E!Online has an interview with Jack Huston who plays Royce (Rosalies human fiance) in Eclipse.  There's a chance we may never have met Royce and the small but meaty part may not have even existed were it not for David Slade taking a meeting with Huston.

"I went in to the director and he very sweetly wrote this part up for me," the actor admits. "It was kind of a nice compliment from him."

Now, as for those costars of his…Sadly, Huston has only spent one day on the set thus far, and that was with Reed, much to his relief.

"She's actually a real sweetie and the very first day she made me feel very welcome," he says. "We were away from the madness which is, I think, Robert and Kristen. I think they have hundreds of incessant fans following them, which, fair enough. We were quite lucky. We were in the park, beautiful, and it was fun."

Eclipse Set Pics: is this Royce? or Peter?

Don't be alarmed, he isn't a vampire. I think the flash or the light is just giving him the red eye look. This is Jack Huston who plays Rosalie's fiance from before Rosalie was turned a vampire. *Spoiler-Royce was the reason she was turned!

Update, now that I think about it, Royce is supposed to be blonde and why would he be dressed like that? I'm thinking this is Peter played by Kevin Zegers, from the Maria-Jasper past.

Eclipse Casting: Jack Huston to play Royce

So here is confirmation that we will get Rosalie’s back story. The Hollywood Reporter reports that actor Jack Huston will be playing Royce King II, human Rosalie’s fiance and all-around bad guy.

If you aren’t familiar with Huston (I was not), THR says this:
Huston…stars on the ABC series “Eastwick,” which debuts next month. He next appears in the features “Boogie Woogie” and “Mr. Nice,” and he appeared in “Shrink,” which recently opened in limited release.

What do you guys think of this casting news. From the few photos I have seen of him, I think he will definitely look right for the time period and certainly gives off that creepy feel.
Side note for SYTYCD/Cat Deeley fans: Jack is her husband!
