If this whole "Twilight" thing doesn't work out, Jackson Rathbone could have a great career translating movie dialogue into catchy little jingles for big awards shows.
What better way to introduce a new category at the MTV Movie Awards than with song? And who better to turn one of the categories into a hummable tune than the multitalented Rathbone?
When the 26-year-old actor isn't occupied with all the thrilling engagements and obligations involved with being part of the massive "Twilight" franchise, he can be found rocking with his band 100 Monkeys. The man widely known as Jasper Hale in "The Twilight Saga" is a multi-instrumentalist capable of shredding on guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, mandolins, trumpets and harmonicas.
During a break from shooting a new movie called "Live at the Foxes Den," in which he plays a guy who quits a major law firm to become a singer, Rathbone was kind enough to strap on an instrument and put all the 2011 MTV Movie Awards Best Line from a Movie nominees to song.
Watch as Rathbone sings (and strums along with) some of the most memorable dialogue of the past year from blockbusters and Oscar contenders, including lines from Jessie Eisenberg in "The Social Network"; Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield in "The Social Network"; Tom Hardy in "Inception"; Amanda Bynes and Emma Stone in "Easy A"; and little Alexys Nycole Sanchez in "Grown Ups."
Check out the video and then be sure to vote for your favorite line.
