Biography:
Cameron Bright (born Cameron Douglas Crigger; January 26, 1993) is a Canadian actor. He has appeared in numerous high profile roles in the films Godsend, Birth, Running Scared, Ultraviolet, X-Men: The Last Stand and Thank You for Smoking and appeared in The Twilight Saga: New Moon as Alec.
Bright was born in Victoria, British Columbia; he was given his middle name, "Douglas", after his maternal grandfather. Bright has a scar on his eyebrow which he got as a toddler, after his brother chased him around a rose bush. He has two dogs and one cat.
Bright's first acting job was in a commercial for Telus, which was soon followed by a guest appearance on the television series, Higher Ground. He subsequently appeared in several minor roles in made-for-television films, and was credited as "Cameron Crigger" for his early roles (from the 2000 television movie, The Christmas Secret, to an episode of Night Visions).
After a supporting part in The Butterfly Effect, Bright's first major role was in Godsend, a horror film co-starring Robert De Niro; the film was released in April 2004 to mixed reviews. In his next film, Birth, he played a ten-year-old boy who claims to be the reincarnation of a woman's (Nicole Kidman) deceased husband. Two scenes within the movie sparked controversy and drew media attention to Bright. In one scene, Bright and Kidman's characters kiss; in the other, the two share a bathtub. The actors wore flesh-colored swimsuits in the bath scenes and were never really naked, though this wasn't known at the time. In addition, the two actors were never filmed together in the same room at the time of the bathtub scene.
Bright was the second choice to play Klaus Baudelaire in the film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. He was instead cast in several Hollywood films, all of which were released in 2006, including Thank You for Smoking, Ultraviolet, and the action-thriller named Running Scared (starring Paul Walker). He also starred in X-Men: The Last Stand, where he played the mutant Leech, who has the anti-mutant antibody around which the film focuses.
He appeared in the TV series The 4400 in the episode "The Wrath Of Graham" as a high school student named Graham Holt who develops an ability after injecting himself with Promicin. He has also played a host carrier for a cure for humanity in more than one movie.
Bright played the Volturi vampire Alec, twin brother to Dakota Fanning's character Jane, in the 2009 film New Moon.
Bright is currently filming Eclipse, based on the third book in the Twilight series. He will reprise his role as Alec.

Trivia:
He has an older brother named Bryce Nelson.
He has 2 dogs and a cat.
Cameron has no favorite bands but many favorite songs ranging from Classical, Jazz, Oldies and Rock.
His favorite film is Saving Private Ryan (1998).
He plays two roles of a young boy who can "cure" a new race of human in three months: the role of Six in Ultraviolet (2006) and Leech in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006).
Has already worked twice with Rebecca Romijn: for the first time in Godsend (2004), then in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), although in the latter they have no common scene.
Jason Reitman, who directed him in Thank You For Smoking, gave Cameron a cameo role in his new movie "Juno" starring Ellen Page (Xmen 3, also starring Cameron) and Jennifer Garner (Alias).
Friend of actress Jodelle Ferland.
Has twice played a young boy who falls in love with an older woman, Birth (2004) and An American Affair (2009).
