BiographyTaylor Daniel Lautner ( LOWT-nər; born February 11, 1992) is an American actor and martial artist. He is best known for playing werewolf Jacob Black in The Twilight Saga film series (2008–2012) and Sharkboy in the film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (2005). His accolades include a Scream Award, seven Teen Choice Awards, two People's Choice Award, and an MTV Movie Award.

Born in Michigan, Lautner began practising Karate and Xtreme Martial Arts at the age of six. He became a black belt at the age of 10, and by the age of 14, he was a four-time world champion. He began his acting career playing bit parts in comedy series such as The Bernie Mac Show (2003) and My Wife and Kids (2004), before having voice roles in television series like What's New, Scooby-Doo?

Also that year, he starred in Cheaper by the Dozen 2.

The late 2000s saw Lautner become a teen idol and sex symbol, after extensively changing his physique to keep the role of Jacob Black in further Twilight installments, and generating media attention for his looks. In 2010, he was ranked second on Glamour's "The 50 Sexiest Men of 2010" list, and fourth on People's "Most Amazing Bodies" list. Also in the same year, Lautner was named the highest-paid teenage actor in Hollywood.
