Digging further into the background of newly cast Boo Boo Stewart as the highly anticipated role of Seth Clearwater reveals a bubblegum star with quite an established fan base of tweens, making him a perfect presentation for the role of Seth. Without the stigma of a trademarked name, but with a bit of a following, the casting of Boo Boo as Seth sounds like a perfect fit.
Aside from random roles in a variety of flicks, the fresh-faced teen has a blossoming musical career and has modeled, most recently, for Kohl’s; his multi-faceted background mirrors that of his multi-talented Eclipse cast members.
Born Nils Allen Stewart, Jr., the 15 year old actor/ martial artist resembles a slightly younger Taylor Lautner, having been named the 2002 and 2003 Martial Arts World Champion and inducted into the 2004 Martial Arts Junior Hall of Fame.
Boo Boo’s fan base may stem from his stint as a Radio Disney T-Squad Member. About Boo Boo and the T-Squad from Disney’s site:

He really does look like a younger Jacob. That is great because that is how Stephenie described him in the books several times. I think he will make a great Seth. Good for you Boo Boo!!!
Is he Native American Indian?
no he is not native american. Are you aware that Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Tyson Houseman all had to prove they were native american? It was the only way they could get the part.
The extras for the New Moon Quilete Rez Scene also had to prove they were native american.
The Extras for the 300 yr old Quilete Village Scene for Eclipse also had to prove they were native american.
Boo Boo Stewart did not have to prove his heritage.
Native Americans who were actors were told, "You want to be in this movie then prove you are native american."
The last native american role went to a non-native american actor. It is offensive and racist.
The comment blog would not allow me to post the link that showed where Summit demanded the actors show their paperwork to prove they were native american. But you can google the Insider Get a Look: The Wolf Pack in 'New Moon' and see for yourself.
It sad cuz no one wants to talk about the big elephant in the room, Because we all love twilight. I love it too. Summit should not have made 1 race prove they are from that race and yet allow 1 actor for the same type of role a hall pass on proving their heritage. So my heart is broken cuz Hollywood is racist still. Interesting fact: Angelina Jolie supports native american activist John Trudell. Her mother made a documentary about his life before she died. Angeline Jolie was touched by him she supported helped produce his album Bone Days. I wonder what John Trudell's feeling will be regarding the casting process of Eclipse for Native American actors. I also wonder what Angelina Jolie's position would be. I imagine they would be disgusted with how real native american actors were only hired if they could prove they were native american and yet the last role went to a non-native american actor.???
LOVE THE SHOES AND COLOR!!
Awww, he's cute! :D Man, he likes green, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and Lord of the Rings trilogy just like me! :O :D

Well, when I saw him in PopStar magazine; I was angry because I thought that he would make an awful Seth. But now that I've googled him; I think he's great! :)
He is so cool. And a lot better than Jacob.
OMG!! We have aLOT of things in common....
