Rob and Kristen are without question the biggest stars in young Hollywood right now, but Oscar nominee Anna has lined up more work than the two of them combined!
Anna Kendrick may be the least seen and photographed Twilight actor, and for good reason — she’s always working! The 25-year-old actress has three films slated for release in 2012, will star in this summer’s 50/50 alongside Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and is close to landing the role of Jake Gyllenhaal‘s wife in End of Watch, set to shoot this summer. Oh, and did we mention she’s an Oscar nominee?
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have also kept busy, though with less well received films. Of the three, most would be surprised to know it is Anna who has worked with George Clooney, Seth, Angelica Huston, Michael Cera, Vera Farmiga and Jason Bateman, to name just a few.
Also helping Anna greatly is the fact that, unlike Rob and Kristen, she is a minor character in the Twilight series. She gets to stop by, steal a few scenes with her always hilarious delivery and be on her way. She will never have the vampire stigma to shake.
Rob and Kristen are of course working hard and booking projects, but these days it seems harder for them to blend in to films with smaller roles, instead needing to take on major parts.
It therefore seems likely that while Rob and Kristen will both enjoy a long career, Anna is set to be the true breakout Twilight star. Do you agree HollywoodLifers?

“Most would be surprised to know it is Anna who has worked with George Clooney, Seth, Angelica Huston, Michael Cera, Vera Farmiga and Jason Bateman.”
Uhh, okay? Most would be surprised to know it is Kristen who has worked with Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, James Gandolfini, Melissa Leo, Jesse Eisenberg and, eventually Charlize Theron for “Snow White and the Huntsmen”. I think that of all three actors, Kristen probably has the most cred. She’s been doing indie flicks since she was 12 years old, and has the most background/experience in acting. Twilight was her “break out” role, and after its success, she will have a much easier time getting roles, and not just in indies or “limited release” movies.
That’ll probably also be the case for Rob, though I think Kristen has a better shot at staying relevant after Twilight. If she was getting steady jobs and had a solid, respectable indie actress career BEFORE Twilight, I have no doubts she’ll be fine afterwards. Rob, on the other hand, was just about ready to give up on acting when he was offered the role of Edward. He was broke and sleeping on his agent’s couch. He needed Twilight, whereas Kristen didn’t.
As for Anna, I can’t see her as more than a supporting artist, which is what she’s been in pretty much all her movies.
