Edi Gathegi was born March 10, 1979 in Nairobi, Kenya. He is now an American film/stage/television actor. He is best known for his appearances as recurring character Dr. Jeffrey Cole in the television series House and as "Cheese" in the 2007 film Gone Baby Gone. He has recently played Laurent in the Twilight movie.
It has been confirmed that he will come back for New Moon (film).
Twilight
Gathegi tried out for the movie on the recommendation of a casting director he knew; at the time he had no idea it was a vampire story. Although he found the script a little unusual, he had a good time meeting Catherine Hardwicke. He says "Her energy and enthusiasm won me over. In Hollywood, you don’t have a lot of awesome audition experiences, but she and I just clicked."[1]
To get into the role of a vampire without fangs he says "For me, it was an exercise in stillness. The less I did, the creepier I’d be. The more vampire I’d be."[1]
He has read all four novels, but Twilight is his favorite.[1]
