    It's funny that Dafoe thought Pattinson was interesting and mysterious when he did Twilight (14:00) because what Dafoe's character says to Pattinson in the film applies pretty nicely to his Twilight persona: "Ye pretended to some mystery in yer quietudes, but there aren't no mystery. You're an open book. A picture, says I!"

    Ya really shouldn't blame an actor for a bad character in a film. We all make the mistake of blaming the actors for poor performances and bad characters but also completely forget the fact the Actors didnt not create the role, nor write the screenplay, nor dialog and in most cases didnt direct themselves doing the role, we forget who the blame should really be aimed at... The Directors, the Writers, the Producers and casting agents. A film and its execution falls on those individuals. The Actors try to understand and translate the character in the script, but the final word on that character is that the director who approves it or not. As such Pattinson should not be mared for the role he played in TWILIGHT, Give you a perfect example.. Mark Hamill in The last Jedi. The Actor himself knew his character was completely wrong from his previous iterations , only to later find that the directors and writers were basically hacks set out to drive Starwars and its key characters into a brick wall. Cant blame Hamill, you have to blame those truly responsible.

Bailing brings untrust and such a thing scares directors and producers, if they cant trust your obligation to their investment, you will likely find yourself out of work for a long time. having broke the rule of the actors guild.
