After the end of the hit franchise, the actor has almost disappeared from the big screen.
In the filmography of Jackson Rathbone there are many projects – he has been acting in movies for more than 20 years. However, it was the small role of Jasper Hale in the Twilight Saga that made him a superstar.
His character had very few scenes and lines of his own. But millions of fans around the world fell in love with the most mysterious vampire of the Cullen clan. During the casting of Twilight, Rathbone was considered for the role of Edward Cullen, but ended up playing his brother Jasper.
After Twilight, there were no significant roles in the actor's filmography. The movie by M. Night Shyamalan The Last Airbender with the participation of Rathbone, released in 2010, turned out to be a complete failure and received 9 nominations for the Golden Raspberry anti-award and "won" 5, including the Worst Picture of the Year.
In 2008, Jackson, who has loved music since childhood, formed his own funk rock band, 100 Monkeys. He sang, played guitar and harmonica. In total, the band released 5 full-length albums and 7 singles, but after four years, 100 Monkeys announced the end of the project.
In 2011 the actor appeared in the series Aim High. In 2013 he starred in the first episode of White Collar, where he played a member of a criminal duo, followed by a company of experienced detectives.
In 2017, the star of the Twilight franchise appeared in the fourth episode of The Last Ship, where he played a Greek-American playboy named Giorgio, who tries to turn the Mediterranean into a testing ground for his own ambitions.
In 2021, the actor starred in a movie that mixed two genres that rarely end up together in the same project – horror and action. The movie, titled WarHunt, told the story of airmen who crashed and had to rescue a secret cargo.
The latest project of the actor was the action movie Condor's Nest. According to the plot, ten years after the end of the Second World War, an American pilot goes to South America to find Nazi criminals who have escaped punishment.
