Thanks Sandie!

Here are some great Vancouver Sun Articles featuring some of our great Twilight cast members.

Here is an excerpt of the article featuring Jodelle Ferland. It also mentions Tyson Houseman and Cameron Bright:

Head HERE to read the full article.

For the Vancouver-based Nanaimoborn actress, playing Bree Tanner in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has turned her into somewhat of a teenage celebrity.

Ferland is just one of many B.C.based actors who have seen a boost in

their profiles -and careers -thanks to the vampiric pop-culture phenomenon, which was filmed in B.C.

Some young thespians, such as Nanaimo’s Cameron Bright and Vancouver’s Tyson Houseman, have made repeat appearances in the film franchise. Both Bright and Houseman will reprise their roles in the latest instalment Breaking Dawn, which sets up for production in the Lower Mainland this week. Based on Stephenie Meyer’s four teen romance novels, the Twilight movie franchise, which has achieved epic commercial success since its inception, has spawned everything from lifesize Edward Cullen wall decals to an official Twilight Convention Tour to a cult of crazed fans, often referred to as “Twi-hards.”

IDOL Magazine currently has a feature of some of the cast of Twilight and New Moon!  Included are Charlie Bewley, Chaske Spencer, Daniel Cudmore, Gil Birmingham, Edi Gathegi, Tyson Houseman and Jose Zuniga.  Here are a few tidbits from the interviews and portraits of each of the actors (after the jump):

Charlie Bewley:

IDOL: Do you think that arrogance has rubbed off on you in real life?
Charlie: No! Do you think so? No, I went through my arrogant phase, I was an arrogant little crap when I was younger. I think that’s behind me now.

With the role of Demetri, there’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance, I’ve always been confident with the person that I am, and it’s done really well for me I like to think. With Demetri, yeah there’s arrogance there because they’re so elitist in the Volturi, there is that arrogance, there is that sense that no one has a chance.

Gil Birmingham:

IDOL: So your first screen debut, I believe, was in Diana Ross’ music video?
(Gil laughs)

IDOL: So, it all went from there, how did it develop?
Gil: At the time I was doing body-building contests, I wanted to kind of experience that, and I was at the gym and I got scouted and they asked if I’d be interested in doing a video, and I said yeah that sounds like fun. So I got on the set and had a great time, I actually had a girlfriend at the time who had moved to Hollywood to be an actress, and she said why don’t you start, so I did. And I kind of had a real slow start to it because it wasn’t something I imagined myself doing. But yeah, I guess in a way that video kind of put me on the path.

Edi Gathegi:

IDOL: Ok so when you were younger who did you look up to? Who was your IDOL?
Edi: My father was an idol for me, because his story is phenomenal, he came to the United States with $50 and a suitcase, and just like the American dream, and he brought my mother and my brother and I out within one year, working three jobs, one of which was a newspaper delivery boy, man. And now he’s a professor, he’s got five degrees from UC Berkeley, one of the most prestigious universities in our country, and now I get to pursue my dreams, I get to do what I want because of his sacrifices and his hard work.

Chaske Spencer:

IDOL: How long have you been acting for?
Sam: I started out when I was 21, professionally. I moved to New York City with like 100 bucks- that was the dumbest thing!

IDOL: It wasn’t really dumb though was it?
Sam: It wasn’t the dumbest thing, but at the time, I was really young and dumb so I wouldn’t do it all over again. I think it was just luck, pure luck that got me where I am right now, things just kinda worked out how they were supposed to.

I couch surfed for a while, then I landed a job in Broadway, catering, bar-tending, waiting tables, times were slow but you know I did a lot of theatre, off Broadway stuff.

IDOL: Didn’t you play Dracula in your first show?
Sam: Yeah I was Dracula, that was a really cool experience. Being a broke young actor in the city, just hanging out with other actors after rehearsals, going to pubs. Just living the life broke, just broke as hell, but loving it. I think for a good year I slept on a wooden floor on just a sleeping blanket in a beat up old house, we called it fight club house.

Chaske Spencer, New Moon‘s Alpha wolf Sam, chatted with Seventeen Magazine
about wolfing out and about his New Moon cast mates, the Wolf Pack. Be sure to click MORE for the whole interview!

Chaske Spencer gave an awesome interview to Seventeen where he talks New Moon, working with Taylor Lautner, getting into acting and his take on wolf pack superlatives!

17: What’s it like entering this New Moon world?

Chaske Spencer: It’s like a hurricane! It’s like you are in the eye of the hurricane when you are on set – everything is calm. Then you step out of set and everything in chaos. You don’t really feel it until after you come out of production. But it’s getting crazy. A few people have recognized me on the street already.

17: Did they prepare you for this? Or, did you assume it would be crazy?

CS: Not really, I didn’t know how big this was going to get. When I got to set on New Moon, they talked about how it was going to change your life. I thought, yeah, yeah, yeah. When we started filming Eclipse, that’s when it really started kicking in. We had paparazzi everywhere. We can’t just walk down the street anymore in Vancouver.

17: Can you tell us about any crazy fans?

CS: We had a couple of girls specifically fly in and they got rooms at our hotel and they would wait there. Girls would also camp out right below our hotel balconies. You would look over the balcony and wave and just hear screams. There were a couple of girls that got on the set of Eclipse. It was really funny because I don’t think they expected to make it that far. Once they got there, they just stood there with these wide eyes. Then they realized they got through security – and security is pretty tight! They had to get escorted off, but I give them credit for getting through.

More after the break….

17: What was it like making the movie?

CS: It was hard! We trained a lot. We had to put on mass weight. I packed on like 20 lbs. of muscle just working out. As soon as we got there, they got us a trainer who had helped out on the movie 300. If we weren’t filming, we were working out. The acting part is easy, it’s the preparing – lifting weights and getting your body in tip-top shape – that’s the hard part. For our workouts, right off the bat we had to do 300 sit-ups every day. And we were on a special diet. We were eating like six meals a day – lots of protein and lots of vegetables. It helped us bond though. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It was fun. We were all going through this together.

17: What was it like working with Taylor?

CS: Taylor is a lovable man! He is so cool! First, he is raised right. He is a good kid. He’s got his head on his shoulders and he’s fun. He can be an adult when it comes time to work, but he is still 17 so he can be a kid as well. He gets really bored easily so between takes he will do flips and stuff. And he can do break-dancing and karate. The production people had to tell him to chill a few times because it got a little rowdy.

17: When you weren’t working out, what did you guys do on set?

CS: We goofed around a lot. It’s really fun because you get to hang out with these guys that you get along with. It was like a party. We would all pile into my trailer and watch a movie sometimes if it was taking a while to get to set or if they were busy filming something else. On off time, we would go to restaurants and clubs together. They were like my brothers.

17: On set, is it really vampires v. werewolves? Are there cliques?

CS: No! It’s such a huge cast that everyone gets along but we don’t get to see everybody. I’ve seen Rob on New Moon like twice, just in the makeup trailer, and then we go off to film our scenes. If we’re filming, the vampires are off, and when they are filming, we are at the gym. So it’s not a clique, it wasn’t meant to happen, that’s just the way it is. Everyone gets along, though.

17: We want to do wolf pack superlatives. Who’s the fastest?

CS: Alex Meraz.

17: The smartest?

CS: Tyson Houseman.

17: The funniest?

CS: Bronson Pelletier.

17: The best looking?

CS: Kiowa Gordon. We called him heartthrob.

17: The clumsiest?

CS: Me! This is a new body I have. It’s like I’m going through a growth spurt, like a 13-year-old.

17: How did you get started in acting?

CS: I was 21. I came to New York with $100 and a one-way ticket. I moved here in a last effort to make something out of my life. I started couch-surfing and bartending, and I got a lot of odd-jobs. Then I started landing acting gigs.

17: Did you always want to act?

CS: I think I did. I was interested in photography as well. I liked getting lost in movies. I’m a movie guy – I can get lost in anything. I really got into getting into characters and observing people. And, yeah, I didn’t know this was going to happen

In part 3 of an ongoing series by Vanity Fair of interviews with the New Moon wolf pack, Chaske Spencer (Sam Uley) chats about winning the part of Sam, filming New Moon, dealing with his new-found fame and the kinds of music he listens to.

VF.com: How did you get the part of Wolf Pack leader, Sam Uley?

Chaske Spencer: It was one of the weirdest auditions I’ve done. We put it on tape, and usually the process is: you meet the casting director, get a callback, then you meet the producer and director. This just went straight from tape. I auditioned for all of the parts of the Wolf Pack; they called me back and told me what part I had. Also, I didn’t really know who [the character] was because I didn’t know much about Twilight. Then I figured it out and said, “Wow, that’s a really good part.” It’s amazing. I’ve never gotten a part like that before.

Once you got the part, did you go back and read the books?

Yeah, I started with New Moon. Then I started dabbling in Eclipse because there’s a lot of back-story to my character. I really tried to relate to those characters, do my job … and then go to the gym.

How much time did you have between finding out you got the role and actually starting shooting?

Not much—about three weeks. They got us a trainer and really started throwing us into the work, into working out, which was with a gentleman who helped out on 300. I was pretty psyched about that; it was really tough. I was [already] in shape, but when he got his hands on me, it was a whole different beast altogether. I put on 25 pounds in those two months. It just happened—one day, I stepped out of the shower, took a look at myself, and I didn’t recognize my own body.

You all went through this together as a pack, too.

Yeah, that was the one thing that was really cool; it did bond us. We’re unknowns, and we couldn’t tell anyone for a month that we were cast. So we just talked to each other, made sure we kept each other in check, got competitive with one another. It was like [we were] brothers. I gained so many family members through this, which I’m really grateful for.

So you were this unknown actor living in New York who suddenly found himself on the set of this huge studio blockbuster. What was that like?

It’s so surreal, I mean, I’m feeling it right now! On the film sets of New Moon and Eclipse, I feel safe. It’s like you’re in the center of the hurricane, but outside is where it starts to get chaotic. I would say that, in the last few days, I started noticing that I’m in this huge franchise. I’m going to be in one of the biggest movies of the year, and it’s a little surreal, frightening, and exciting all together. It’s like one big roller-coaster ride.

What are you doing to prepare for it?

No one can give you a book on how to deal with it. There’s not much you can do about it except for just having a good head on your shoulders. You have to go on your own and figure it out.

Like many of the other wolves, you have your own Twitter page, too.

It’s really cool. It’s like being in this rock band. It’s nothing like I’ve ever done before on any film or play—you really interact with the fans. I Twitter for the Twilight fans. I can write where I’m going, what I’m doing—I try to keep it general so I don’t give too much away—and the fans are great! They’re really excited about it; some even know more about me than I do myself!

Speaking of rock bands, Kiowa [Gordon] said you got him listening to Phoenix and Grizzly Bear.

Kiowa and Tyson Houseman are really into music, and we talk about that. I’m really into discovering new music. I’m a drummer, and I live with a musician—he’s in a band called The 5 O’Clock Heroes. I’m not just plugging him because he’s my roommate; his band is really good. He introduces me to all of the cool new bands, and we’ve had musicians coming over to our apartment for a while now. I like this new cat, Liam Finn, who I heard about in Australia. I also just got the New Moon soundtrack, and I’m really impressed! I think it’s amazing. I’ve been listening to it all day actually. I like Band of Skulls, and I’ve been a fan of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club for years now. This is going to be my album for the month.

What did the wolves listen to during workouts?

I brought my iPod in, and I had tracks that would help us get through the workout. We played the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage,” Metallica’s “Orion,” ACDC—that really pumped us up—some Guns N’ Roses, Soundgarden, Nirvana. I like to workout to a lot of hip-hop, too.

You’re the oldest wolf in the pack.

Yeah, and it’s funny: I play the alpha wolf, the leader, and I kind of fell into that role. I don’t know how that happens. But I am the oldest—I had a few films under my belt—and I kind of helped some of the other guys. I’m very protective of them. If anyone tried to hurt them, I’d probably go ballistic. They’re good guys. We take care of one another. It was like freshman coming into high school; we were the new group. We all come from different backgrounds, too. We’re Native Americans and we have a different outlook on things. We didn’t come to mess around; we came with our A-game, and we definitely made sure our presence was known.

What is your Native American background?

I’m Lakota Sioux. What’s cool is that Stephenie [Meyer]’s written this amazing story that is more contemporary Native American. It’s not like I was wearing leather and feathers, which I’ve been used to doing. I didn’t have to go too much into my own background.

You said in your Twitter feed: “I love being a wolf!”

[Laughs] I like my role. When I was a kid, I was into the Anne Rice novels, but I never got to discover werewolves until this. What I like is that it’s given me a new body, actually. The workouts and all of that stuff—who doesn’t want to be a werewolf? (It’s tongue-in-cheek when I say stuff like that.)

When this is all over, what kind of movies do you want to make?

I just look at the kind of actors I really like; I like Gene Hackman. The actors I admire are character actors. I just want to do really good work. I mean, this is huge. I really don’t know what I can do after this! Go the independent route maybe.

Let’s do some wordplay. Please give one word to describe each of the actors you work with in New Moon, starting with Alex Meraz [“Paul”].

Primal.

Bronson Pelletier [“Jared”].

Jokester.

Kristen Stewart [“Bella Swan”].

Fighter.

Gil Birmingham [“Billy Black”].

Heart-and-soul.

Tyson Houseman [“Quil Ateara”].

Intelligent.

Kiowa Gordon [“Embry Call”].

Goofy.

Taylor Lautner [“Jacob Black”].
