Robert Pattinson stood inches from me. Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz, both Oscar winners, were only feet away. Directly in front of me, and behind the camera, sat Rodrigo Prieto, an Oscar-nominated director of photography.
I should have been completely awestruck at the level of talent that surrounded me. Yet the only thing I could truly focus on was my aching feet and legs due to the flat slippers the wardrobe department had given me to wear – and having to stand on them for hours on end.
Playing the Tall Man, a non-speaking, featured-extra role in the film “Water for Elephants” proved to be equal parts fun and exhausting.
Based on the popular book of the same name by Sara Gruen, the story is about a young man who joins a Depression-era circus. I was cast as a part of a group of sideshow performers that included a midget, Wolfboy, the Fat Lady, the Strong Man and a couple of contortionists.
My job was to be present in the background and, in some cases, right up next to the lead actors. I suppose my claim to fame was the scene in which I and a few other men physically shoved Pattinson to the front of a group of circus workers so that he could be properly “initiated” into the circus life by being sprayed with water, pelted with pies and kissed by the showgirls.
But there were other scenes, too, including one on the sleeping car of the train, another when I stood with Pattinson and a few others and watched Witherspoon cavort with an elephant.

From Total Film magazine (August 2010)
“I want to work with an elephant,” says Robert Pattinson, on the California set of circus romance ‘Water For Elephants’. Why the hell not? Adapted from Sara Gruen’s depression-era bestseller, Pattinson plays a young vet, Jacob, who runs away to join a traveling circus after his parents are killed. There he falls in love with beautiful equestrian Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) and befriends untrainable pachyderm Rosie. ‘Inglourious Basterd’ Oscar winner Christoph Waltz – who’s fast establishing himself as baddie de jour – rounds out the cast as abusive, Dumbo-bothering bastard August Rosenbluth, in what Waltz calls “a sensational adaptation”, with Francis Lawrence (‘I Am Legend’) on directing duties. Nevermind the elephants, then, what’s it like working with Waltz? “He’s terrifying!” smiles Pattinson. We suspected as much.

Yesterday we did a poll asking you guys if you were losing interest in The Twilight Saga. 161 People answered the poll, which is awesome, thank you! 45% of people (73 votes) voted that they were losing interest in The Twilight Saga vs 55% (88 votes) who voted that they were still interested in The Saga.
However, the people who voted that they were losing interest in the Saga commented that they weren’t losing interest in Robert Pattinson (and his Twilight co-stars) and said they couldn’t wait to see him in his other movies (Water for Elephants & Bel Ami).
The reasons stated for the loss of interest in The Saga? Some people said that they simply lost interest in the whole Twilight thing and now wanted to see the stars in other roles, others said it was because of all the drama that goes on which gets to be a little too much and some said it was due to mismanagement. The majority said that even though they were losing interest they would still go see Breaking Dawn to support their favorite actors. You can read all the comments here.
Why did we do this poll? Well as a Rob site we get many comments here on the site, on Facebook, on Twitter and by e-mail and we’ve noticed over the past few months that people had been less enthusiastic about the Saga, yet still very much interested in Rob’s upcoming movies. We decided to reach out to you guys and ask you what your thoughts were. Ironically enough Rob always said that people were more interested in seeing him as Edward Cullen than in any other roles. I guess we proved him wrong 😉
Hollywood crews have wrapped up their work in Chattanooga after shooting the movie ‘Water for Elephants.’ It stars Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon but some of the littlest stars are from right here in the Tennessee Valley.
Last Friday, while hundreds of fans were kept far away from the set on a Chickamauga farm, Sonya Gonzales got a first-hand look. Both of her sons had roles.
