20 Actors You Probably Forgot Were in YA Adaptation Movies

5. Anna Kendrick - The Twilight Saga

Hunger Games Natalie Dormer
Summit Entertainment

For one of Anna Kendrick's very first film roles, she was cast in Twilight, which at the time was considered a quirky little movie that not many people would see, rather than the launching pad for a massive franchise. She played Jessica Stanley, a friend of Bella Swan's.

Kendrick went on to appear in the next three installments of the series. Aside from dealing with the effects of some harsh weather, she has indicated she enjoyed her time with the franchise and that she treasures the experience.

While still working on The Twilight Saga, Kendrick was nominated for an Academy Award for her work in Up in the Air and she's since gone on to star in the Pitch Perfect series.
