Will the Twilight Kids Have "Real" Acting Careers?

Do you think the New Moon kids are actually going to have careers after all the Twilight drama dies down? Or be taken seriously?

Well, because E! Online readers just love reading about how actors are jealous of other actors, or sleeping with other actors, or making little baby actors with other actors, let's do this right.

Let's put this in terms of other actors. Like who among the Twilight stars is really the next Matt Damon, who's the next Drew Barrymore and who's the next Keanu Reeves?

Behold a possible future for each New Mooner...

Kristen Stewart: The Next Anna Paquin? Of all the New Moon actors, Hollywood power brokers tell me K.Stew has the best chance of a long, varied and respected acting career.

Very few, if any, actresses have broken this big in a romantic lead actress role the way Stewart has, so pinning down her future proved challenging for the people I spoke with.

Still, "I would put her in with the Anna Paquins before I would put her in with, say, Natalie Portman," Gillespie tells me. "It's the same vibe, same personality, same quirkiness, the aversion to media. I just think she's very smart."

And like Paquin, who got an Oscar for her first big role (as a child, in The Piano), Stewart has mixed up her roles, blending indie comedies like Adventureland with suspense stuff, like The Panic Room. And unlike—ahem—others in the New Moon cast, Stewart "is an actor's actor," talent agent Susie Mains tells me. "She's interested in the work," much like Paquin.
