Ethan from 90210 could have been the Vampire role that Robert Pattinson played, but didn't make the role because he didn't have a British accent.

"I did my best Edward Cullen," Dustin told AccessHollywood.com's Laura "Dish Of Salt" Saltman at the junket for his new movie, "Extract," on Tuesday.

Though the Edward character doesn't have an accent in the "Twilight" movie, according to Dustin, Robert Pattinson's popularity has been helped by his voice.

"It's like, boom!" Dustin said, describing how people react when hearing Robert's British accent. "Ladies love that. Melt!"

He's worked with Kristen Stewart in "The Messenger" and In the Land Of Women" in 2007 and comments that "she's going to do really well...Twilight is on thing, but she's got potential to do anything."

"Kristen was actually a remarkable young woman. I met her when she was 15. And she at times would be acting like she was a 15-year-old and for most of the time behaving like a 40-year-old," he said. "She's really really smart, very self-assured, she knows how she is."
