Yahoo movies has an article on Riley (Xavier Samuel’s character). Check out his poster blow:

“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” introduces new villain Riley (adorable Aussie Xavier Samuel). The character doesn’t have a huge part in Stephenie Meyer’s third novel, but it looks like he’s getting a bigger part in the movie adaptation. Riley is spotted a handful of times in the film’s second official trailer, and he was in one of only two character photos that director David Slade shared on Twitter (in case you’re wondering, the other photo was of Taylor Lautner as Jacob). Now Riley has his very own “Eclipse” poster. All this exposure for the character begs the question: Who exactly is Riley?

Teen Vogue has an article on Xavier Samuel (Riley)!

When Xavier Samuel arrived in Vancouver last summer, he didn’t make it far past baggage claim before he started making headlines. With just a few offbeat Australian flicks under his belt, the sandy-haired 26-year-old had been chosen to play newborn vampire Riley, the latest heartthrob in The Twilight Saga. Almost instantaneously he was being hailed as Robert Pattinson’s doppelgänger and couldn’t get coffee without seeing flashbulbs.
