Lexicon Actor Spotlight
Posted by Cocoa - 13/06/08 at 11:06 amIn the last few months many Lexicon users have been hard at work work writing Actor Bios. All summer long we will be spotlighting an actor in the film every week! First in our actor spotlight series is: Edi Gathegi
This actor bio was carefully prepared by Simplicity. She did a wonderful job in compiling the most up to date information available on Edi. Many thanks Simplicity! As they are spotlighted these Actor Bios will be relpacing the links on our Cast and Crew page.
And to celebrate these actors Ambereyes and Pel have created fantastic character and actor inspired t-shirts.

I love Edi Gathagi. I know that he will (along with all the other actors) will nail his role (Larent- our borderline vamp!!)
i think he will do fine as long as they didnt change his personality way too much
Wow! There was so much about him I didn’t know – we are the same age! Yay!
I just love that he wants to play his father in a film. It sounds like Edi’s dad is a true inspiration to him.
I wish our Laurent the best of luck in all future endeavors!
Wow, i didn’t know a lot about him before. He’s going to be a brilliant Laurent!
When I first found out he was Laurent, I was like :How are they going to do that?
But after the famous interview with ‘black olives’ I fell in love!
Laurent is my favorite character!!!! (in the movie)
“Shouls Edward bite Bella? ‘Frick Yes!’”
Five degrees and is a dean? Most impressive. And he seems extremely humble and friendly too.
Coolocityologishiness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not questioning the casting or anything, believe me, i love it. But, I don’t get it … Vampires are paler than we imagine possible,and I’m not being racist, either, but Larent is black….. does that really make sense?
You should really read his interview with us before you make comments like this on the front page. ~Cocoa
Half of my comment didn’t show up! Anyway, I think he is such a cool guy! I loved reading his bio and can’t wait to see him in the movie! He is my favorite Nomad for sure!
I love the idea of the actor inspired t-shirts.
Well the character bio looks great.
And I now have a soft spot for Edi.
By the way…the valley girl thing…hilarious!
I can’t wait to see Edi as Laurent! I think he’s going to be perfect in the role!
I loooooooove edi! He’s so awesome!
“totally frickin’ rad” lol
I like him…I thought he was way older than me though.
I was surprised to see i am 4 yrs older then him.
He will a good Laurent!!!
I don’t get the olives thing…???
Then you should read his Lexicon interviews in the actor interviews section. ~Cocoa
Simplicity! Great Bio on Edi!! He sounds delightful, and I am looking so forward to seeing him in the movie! Love that he’s read all 3 books and studied French for the part of Laurent. Also love that he’s got the playful, prankster personality! Thanks for all the info. on him.
