CBS procedural FBI: Most Wanted isn’t a Twilight spinoff, but there’s nothing wrong with pretending it is. In fact, that’s exactly what series star Kellan Lutz secretly did. Lutz, who played the vampire Emmett Cullen in the Twilight film series, says he approached his FBI character Agent Kenny Crosby as Emmett with a badge and a gun.
“Emmett will always be a part of me, and I bring Emmett into every role that I can,” Kellan Lutz says during a panel at MCM Comic Con 2023. “He’s just such a fun loving guy. Even when I did FBI: Most Wanted, it was Emmett playing FBI. It really was. It was so much fun giving Emmett a gun, even though he could bite everyone.”
The idea of Agent Crosby going around and biting criminals is an amusing thought, even though it never happened in any of the FBI: Most Wanted episodes I’ve seen. The idea that Crosby is actually Emmett under a new name isn’t canon, but it’s a fun thought exercise. Who knows, maybe it’s time to add FBI: Most Wanted to your next Twilight rewatch.
Take a look at the panel below.
