'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' star Tyson Houseman says he identified with his character in 'New Moon'


Tyson Houseman in 'New Moon' - Summit Ent.

As cute as the scene was where Tyson Houseman said "I'm Quil Ateara" in an effort to entice Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, it was definitely one of the smaller roles in the film, and it seems that for the actor portraying the slow-to-transform character, life imitated art a bit on the set.

In a recent interview Houseman did with The Film Yap, he explained that the camaraderie of the New Moon set left him a little envious and anxious for his time with the wolfpack in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

There were a lot of similarities between what was happening to me and the character. I only had one day of shooting on “New Moon,” but I was still friends with all the other wolf guys because we worked out together so much. So it was really cool. The character himself, he was the last one to turn into a wolf, so he always felt kind of left out. They didn’t really talk to him that much. But when he turns into a wolf he’s glad to have all of his friends back. For me, I was always hearing about their stories on “New Moon,” all the fun times they had, and I kind of felt left out. So it was really cool in “Eclipse,” when I’m a wolf, I can hang out with all the guys again. It really felt similar to the character.

Makes you want to say "aw," huh?

    I'm looking forward to seeing Tyson play Quil when he imprints. I think it will come off as very cute and sweet and not at all icky like all the controversy over Jacob/Renesmee(and yes, I CAN spell her name right). ;)

    Tyson has to be my very favorite guy in the wolf pack, because he seems so down to earth and just an all around great guy. I can't wait to see how he brings the character of Quil to life in Eclipse and the Breaking Dawn movies. I know he will do a great job. :)

    Hey! I'm looking for the article you wrote that was an interview with 3 Twilight actors, one of which was Boo Boo Stewart. I think it was fairly recent. Where can I find it? thanks.
