Check out Benjamin's description from the Lexicon:

Full Name: Benjamin

Status: Vampire

Originally from: Egypt

Hair color: “Midnight” (BD32)

Eye color: Vampire Burgundy

Physical description: Bella describes him as having “midnight hair and [an] olive toned pallor” (BD32)

Special Talents: Benjamin is a manipulator of elements—earth, air, fire, and water.

Family members: His mate, Tia, and Amun and his mate Kebi

Personal history: Benjamin was created by Amun knowing that the boy would be special. Amun has since been trying to turn Benjamin’s ability to manipulate earth, air,
fire, and water into a weapon, but Benjamin is very independent and
won’t be used. (BD32) He bonds quickly with many of the covens and
nomads gathered at the Cullen’s house and declares that he will stand
with them if the Volturi attack. (BD34)

Comment by Pennybug Cullen on August 31, 2010 at 10:07pm: Another site I frequent said he is going to be Benjamin, which I definitely can see. But I always pictured Benjamin as younger. (But it has been quite a while since I rea the book so I could be wrong.) He's great in the Night at the Museum movies so I can't wait!

Comment by Dorothy Dupuy on September 1, 2010 at 6:06am: I think that he will be great. I also think that he played the Egyptian prince in the movie Night at the Museum.

Comment by Rose Patterson on September 1, 2010 at 11:32am: excellent! He matches the description perfectly! I hope he gets quite a big part as he's an outstanding actor...he could easily upstage the rest of the cast :) x
