Cam Gigandet is a popular American actor known for his roles as "bad guys" in many films in recent years. His range is very wide - he has starred in youth comedies, thrillers, science fiction films and even in the famous "Twilight Saga".
The first steps

It was this job that gave him a chance to try the role of the aggressive vampire James in the mystical film "Twilight", which immediately after its release became wildly popular. Critics quietly praised Cam for his convincing performance and predatory plasticity. Despite the fact that Cam only starred in the first film of The Twilight Saga, he managed to leave a powerful impression on the audience.
The next notable picture in the filmography of Gigandet was the fantastic trailer "Pandorum". This gloomy "hermetic" picture, although it failed at the box office, revealed the unusual facets of Gigandet's talent. Playing the half-mad corporal Gallow, Cam brought a touch of madness to some of the film's most memorable scenes.
Variety of roles
The film "The Experiment", based on the real events of the harsh "Stanford Prison Experiment", once again showed that in the role of the "bad guy" Gigandet feels organic and plays convincingly.

It is difficult and unpleasant to watch, the acting is extremely convincing.
