SANTA MONICA, California — Cam Gigandet is a jerk.
Actually, he's not at all. In real life, the 26-year-old fast-rising Hollywood star showed up at the MTV studios recently with a broad smile on his face, happy to talk and eager to please. He's charming, funny and good-looking enough to make every man jealous and every woman swoon.
But onscreen, nobody plays a better A-hole. From "The O.C." to the recent "Never Back Down," Gigandet has been bullying pretty boys, kicking butt and staring down his inevitable comeuppance. In November, he'll be seen terrorizing the love-struck duo of Edward and Bella in "Twilight," as the merciless vampire James.
