Gossip Teen

Jackson Rathbone is always busy with multiple projects. The Twilight actor is starting work on Breaking Dawn, keeping a web diary of his band 100 Monkeys and is starring in a new web series “Aim High” with Aimee Teegarden. The photo above is Rathbone as Nick, a teenage spy posing as an ordinary high schooler:

The actor’s playing Nick Green, a high school student with a side job as an international spy. Nick is one of the US government’s 64 trained teenage operatives and just blew a hit he had on a Russian mercenary named Boris the Bear (Clancy Brown). He’s juggling the ripple effects of that with his secret love for Amanda Miles (“Friday Night Lights’” Aimee Teegarden). The major problem there is that she’s got a jealous boyfriend (Jonathan McDaniel) who just so happens to be the swim team captain.

The full series will released online and as a DVD sometime in 2011.

Jackson is still in high school in this? Well, I do happen to adore him so I will catch this anyway – but I have to admit, I’m getting tired of actors in their late 20s and early 30s playing high school students. I understand when you need an actor who won’t age significantly as a vampire but the rest of the time it’s ridiculous. Is it just me? What do you think?

No Ordinary Family is back this week on ABC and Tuesday the show gets a Twilight star added to the supernatural mix. Jackson Rathbone steps into the role of Trent as Daphne (Kay Panabaker) tries to help him deal with a robbery at Trent’s family home.

When Stephanie’s (Julie Benz) hard-to-please parents, Barbara (Cybill Shepherd) and Allan Crane, pay an unexpected visit, the Powells must curb the use of their powers for fear of giving away their secret. But Barbara and Allan begin to suspect that something’s awry when they witness some strange behavior.

Meanwhile, when friend Trent Stafford (Rathbone) and his parents are the victims of a home invasion, Daphne (Panabaker) uses her abilities to help Jim (Michael Chiklis) try to track down the thugs responsible for the violent act.

Check out the sneak peek video below and catch Jackson on episode 1.06 premiering Tuesday, November 9th at 8PM on ABC . Read more »

Twilight Saga stars Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone spent Saturday night in Los Angeles at Spike TVs Scream 2010 Awards at the Greek Theater.

In a red carpet interview the duo revealed that they haven’t met Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon yet, but called the script “amazing.” Rathbone also mentioned that Reed will direct a video soon for his band 100 Monkeys.

Jackson Rathbone‘s latest movie effort, Girlfriend premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this week and earned high marks from critics and fans alike.

The story revolves around Evan (Evan Sneider) a young man with Down’s Syndrome, who inherits a large sum of money and has long had a crush on Candy (Shannon Woodward) who finds herself in trouble financially. When Candy needs money because her lousy ex Russ (Rathbone) isn’t making his payment, Evan gives her what she needs to keep from being evicted. Evan wants Candy as his girlfriend but Candy is juggling the ex and a married boyfriend. Money and unrequited love are generally a bad mix.

In the behind-the-scenes clip below, Russ gets into a fight with Kenny (Jerad Anderson, also in the band 100 Monkeys with Jackson.) The official trailer is below as well.

A family with supernatural abilities? Check.

Teens with mind bending powers? Check and Double Check.

Actor Jackson Rathbone is negotiating for a recurring role on the new ABC sci-fi show No Ordinary Family. NOF is centered around the Powell family and the crazy abilities they gain after being involved in a plane crash. Rathbone’s Trent Stafford would befriend Daphne, the Powell daughter (played by Kay Panabaker) who is telepathic, to help find the criminals behind his family’s home invasion.

Anything that gives us more Jackson is fine by me.

The series debut is Tuesday September 28th.

The multi-talented and very sexy Jackson Rathbone lands the cover of Troix magazine for it’s October debut.

Jackson Rathbone has had a very successful year. The actor has toured with his band 100 Monkeys, starred in two of the summer’s biggest blockbusters, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and The Last Airbender and their is the soon-to-hit-theaters movie Girlfriend, which he co-produced (and has a role in.)

Fox 5 caught up with the good natured Rathbone on the 2010 Teen Choice Awards blue carpet and asked him about the satirical movie Vampires Suck, his crazy year and about his fondest memories of school. Check it above.

A new photo of Jackson Rathbone as Sokka from the film The Last Airbender, has surfaced. The actor is shown (in what I believe to be) the South Pole with a child from his tribe.

The summer will be a great time for Jackson fans. His two movies, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opens June 30th and the following week, The Last Airbender hits theaters, July 2nd.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon theatrical release of November 20th is right around the corner but for actor Jackson Rathbone, it doesn’t mean he will be slowing down. Not only is he gearing up for the crazy promotional schedule of New Moon, he is finishing work on the third film of the franchise Eclipse, and he is starting work on the indie flick Girlfriend, which he will also produce. All that back and forth between characters could be a problem for some actors, but not Rathbone.

“The process of going through the works; getting makeup, getting hair and all that, you have enough time to kind of contemplate your character. And I always put a lot of work into the way my characters move and the way they speak and the way they relate to others around them. It’s just the simple things. I like the subtle nuances that really kind of establish a character and how a character grows throughout a story.”

He also finished filming The Last Airbender with Dev Patel and directed by M Night Shymalan and he is about to embark on a tour with his band 100 Monkeys. While he can’t officially confirm it yet, Breaking Dawn should start filming in February or March so Jackson still has quite a bit of work on his plate for a long while yet.
