Tyson Houseman Chats with J-14

J-14 chatted with Tyson Houseman, who plays wolf pack member Quil in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (June 30) about hanging out with Taylor Lautner, getting buff, and if he's Team Edward or Team Jacob!
J-14: Was it different working on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse versus The Twilight Saga: New Moon?
Tyson: It was very different! For New Moon, I had a really small part, so I was only there for one day of shooting. I didn't have that much time to spend with the other actors or get a feel for what it was like on the movie set. But in Eclipse my character joins the wolf pack and I had a whole lot more scenes. I got to run around with my shirt off and do a bunch of crazy stunts. So it gave me a way better chance to get comfortable on set with comfortable with the other actors.
Did you feel pressure to be as buff as Taylor Lautner?
Tyson: There was a little bit of pressure. I was reading the books and I kept on reading how buff and muscular Quill was and I was really curious why they picked me! But once we started the workouts I think I gained a good twenty or twenty five pounds within the first two months.
J-14: Did you bond with the rest of the wolf pack?
Tyson: We did. Me and the other wolf pack guys, we would all do wolf pack training together with these really, really intense workouts we had to do two months prior to each film -- things like exercises involving other people doing push ups with someone else on your back or running with someone holding you back. Those were a really great bonding experience because was went through a lot of pain together.
J-14: What did you guys do during your downtime on set?
Tyson: Taylor always had a football -- like always, always, had a football. You just look for Taylor and he would just be throwing around a football. We would always have a lot of fun doing that.
J-14: What is something people would be surprised to know about Taylor?
Tyson: He's not as tall as tall as he looks in the movie. I think the character is supposed to be like 6' 8" or something like that. Taylor's definitely not 6' 8"! Also, he's a really, really outgoing nice guy. A lot of people expect him to be really stand-offish and not really talkative, but as soon as you meet Taylor, he's like, "Hey, how's your day?"
J14: Team Edward or Team Jacob?
Tyson: I've got to stick to my tribe -- I'm going to say Team Jacob!

The Chicago Sun Times recently interviewed Eclipse cast members Booboo Stewart (aka Seth Clearwater), Tyson Houseman (aka Quil), and Jodelle Ferland (aka Bree) -
Q. Jodelle, tell us about Stephenie Meyer’s new book about your character, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, coming out Saturday.
JODELLE: I had read the book before I started filming “Eclipse” so that I could understand Bree better and what she went through before she came to what she was in Eclipse. … It’s her back story, so you’ll find out about her, but I can’t tell you much.
Q. Is it true you had to read it under really tight security?
JODELLE: I read it and there’s somebody watching me. It’s not that they don’t trust me, but they just want to, you know, take all the precautions they can. … After I read it, we were supposed to get rid of it, and we didn’t really know how to do that. [We] put it in a bucket. We threw a match in and we burnt it, and then we took a video and a picture and we sent it to Stephenie Meyer. It was so funny.
Read more after the break!
Q. You’re a new addition to the franchise. How did Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and the others actors welcome you?
JODELLE: It’s always the little things that count, like saying “hi” to me, or saying “Oh, come sit over here, you look lonely.” You know, all those little things that I really appreciated because it made me feel more welcome. … They’re all really nice people.
Q. What’s the fan pressure like for Robert, Kristen and Taylor?
TYSON:You get fan encounters of the craziest kind, but it’s still, they are what drives this whole series, and they are what makes “Twilight” what it is, so it’s really cool to have that at the same time.
Q. BooBoo, what happened when you were punched at a fan event in Vancouver?
BOOBOO: It was messed up. One, another kid on a dare decided to hit me. I wasn’t hurt but … he was held until the police came. Then I went back, and [continued] greeting the fans.
Q. What’s really cool about “Eclipse”?
TYSON: There’s going to be a lot more action. … There’s a very climactic fight scene. There’s an entire war at the end of the movie, and I think it’s going to be a lot more guy-friendly.

Tyson Houseman, who portrays "Quil" in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, took time to discuss with a select few fansites his experience in being a part of one of the world's biggest film franchises.
Q: So even though your character was introduced in New Moon, you really didn’t get to jump into the action until Eclipse. Did you kind of feel a little bit like Quil – that you were left out of the fun? And was it worth the wait getting to participate more in Eclipse?
Tyson: Yeah, there were actually a lot of similarities between me and the character. In New Moon, like you said, I only had like one day of shooting on set, and so every time I would see the other wolf guys they would always talk about all the fun times they were having on set, and stuff like that. And I kinda felt like I was missing out on that. And so I was really excited for Eclipse when we started that one. I was a wolf and a member of the wolf pack. So I got to hang out with the guys again and do all the stuff with them and that was really similar to what the character Quil was doing, too.
Q: You really didn’t have to do the whole bulk up fitness routine, and I was just wondering how challenging it was for you to catch up with the rest of the cast members in the fitness regimen for the film?
Tyson: Well, it wasn’t that hard for me, because even though I wasn’t actually a wolf in New Moon, they still put me in the wolf pack training. So I was used to all the grueling work outs with the guys, and I kind of made it a goal for myself that by the time Eclipse started filming, that I was gonna get into really good physical shape so that I could keep up with the other guys and I think I did that pretty well.
Q: We heard about a lot of the male bonding that went on before New Moon. Did you guys get together and do some fun stuff during the filming of Eclipse?
Tyson: Yeah, we had to do another series of workouts together before the film just to stay fit, and that was really fun. It was a great way for us to bond together. We went through a lot of pain together, and we always went to (dinner) after something like that. So it was a really great time. It was really good having friends on the set.
Q: Imprinting is a huge part of the book. Do we see that addressed at all in Eclipse, and if so, how do you feel about your character having to go through with that?
Tyson: Well, I mean, I was a little worried at first because it can come off as a little bit creepy to someone who doesn’t actually know what the whole idea of imprinting means, but they do a really good job of explaining it, and introducing it, and everything like that. And it’s portrayed really well in Eclipse so that you actually understand what it really is and so that people aren’t going to be leaving saying, “Oh that’s creepy. He’s in love with a two year old.”
Q: How was your experience working with Chris Weitz on New Moon to then transitioning to work with David Slade on Eclispe. Did you enjoy it? Was there one you preferred over the other?
Tyson: Well I just thought it was a really great opportunity that I was able to work with two different directors for the same project, for the same series. I thought that was really fun. Chris – he was a really nice guy. He was really cheery. He was always supportive and he was really funny. I feel like I got along really well with him. He was like there for you. And, um, David – it was really cool working with David, too, because he had a different style. He was more meticulous about it. He was more in depth and intricate at trying to get all the little details right which I was really happy about because he stuck really well to the series and to the book.
Q: Lots of members of the wolfpack have talked about getting a wolfpack tattoo when all filming is said and done, and some people say, “Yes, we’re all doing it,” and some people say, “No, I’m not doing it.” What’s your feeling on the tattoo?
Tyson: Well, originally I was thinking that I just didn’t want to do it. Like I understood why they would want to do it, but I wasn’t. But lately Kiowa has been pressuring me, like all the time, to get the tattoo, so, I dunno. I think I may end up having to do it.
Q: You talked about how filming Eclipse was physically hard to do, but was there anything that you had a hard time with and really fought through as far as the acting is concerned in filming Eclispe?
Tyson: There were a few parts of it that seemed a little bit tough, but I just tried my hardest to try to have fun with it as much as I could. Like I said, it was great having the support of the other wolfpack guys there just cause they were such good friends, and everyone else on set, too, were friendly and welcoming and nice, and we’re all just really, really high energy. So that really contributed to any challenges that I would have acting through a scene or something like that. And it was really great having the director there to help, too.
Q: A lot of people always ask about crazy fan experiences, and I just wanted to hear about your best fan experience.
Tyson: Well there’s always the ones about like the little girls who are too afraid to come up to you because they think you’re actually a wolf. I’ve had that happen to me a few times. It’s pretty cute and they’re just terrified. Other than that, I had this woman who was like 70 or 80 years old. She was a tiny, old lady, and she was the biggest fan ever. It was really cool.
Q: What responsibility do you feel to the fans of the series to get your character spot on right? And did that add to any of the choices that you made?
Tyson: Well it definitely - it added – there was a lot of heaviness to it, like there was pressure to get it right. But I felt like, you know, the directors and producers and casting directors picked me for a reason and they liked what I had, so I just sort of trusted that I had the look of the character and I could fit into the abilities of the characters easily enough just by – you know, I studied the books as hard as I could, and I got everything right with the character to the best of my abilities. And I just have to trust that the fans will like that.
Q: What was your most exciting memory from shooting?
Tyson: Well there was this one time where, we were shooting this scene where all of the wolf pack guys, we just basically had to run across a field really quickly. And we were bare feet and it was really, really muddy and really wet in the field. And every time we shot a take, someone would fall on their butt while we were running. And it was really funny for me because every time we were about to shoot, Alex would try to pep talk us and be like, “Okay guys, this is what you have to do. You have to run on the balls of your feet.” Or, “You have to stay on your toes.” Because he’s a dancer. He’s been dancing for a really long time. And it was really funny because every time he would try to give us pointers, we would do a take and then he would be the one who would fall on his butt. It was really funny.
Q: The fans have a question for you. They want to know what advice you have for them, mostly for your Native American fans, on how they can break into acting.
Tyson: Basically, the only advice I can give really is to just do the work. It involves a lot of hard work and a lot of people think that it’s an easy job. Like, there are some easy aspects to it, but there’s also a lot of really, really hard stuff to do. Like when you go to an audition, you have to know it like the back of your hand. Like you have to be – you have to put in effort in order to get something out of it. I guess that kind of applies to anything, but that’s really what I can say. You gotta put in the effort to get something.
Q: On the DVD commentary for New Moon, Chris Weitz kind of made and off-hand comment about your audition process. And he said that you just kind of rolled on the street and saw a big line and asked what was going on. Can you tell us a little bit more about how you came to audition for New Moon?
Tyson: Well, I didn’t even know that it was going to be for New Moon, actually. They just said the audition was for a major motion picture and they weren’t releasing the name of the movie that it was for. But when I should up to see what was going on, there was a line up of 4 or 5 block long filled with Twilight fans, with like books and t-shirts and everything. So I kinda figured it out then that it was probably going to be for New Moon. And they told me that they were looking for anyone who had Native American background and who was between the ages of 15 and 25. And I was like, well I fit that description, so I’ll try this up. And I basically just tried it for the experience because I really didn’t expect to get anything out of it, but I ended up doing the audition really well, and I got a call back after that. And a week later they called me saying I got the part.
Q: We’ve had a lot of requests for your Twitter! Is it something you would consider in the future, being part of the Twitter world?
Tyson: Well, yeah, it is. I mean I don’t have anything right now. Anything that’s out there right now is a fake one, even if they say that they’re not fake, or anything like that. But I’m the works of building a website for myself right now – a fan site. And once I get that running, I’ll be able to make a Facebook and a Twitter and a MySpace and things like that, just so that fans can connect there.
[Tyson has since joined Twitter - @TysonHouseman]
Q: How you would compare the fight scenes between New Moon and what we’re going to see in Eclipse without, you know, revealing too much about the movie?
Tyson: Well I know that the director, David Slade, he’s really good at that. Another movie he worked on, 30 Days of Night, was definitely a really gritty, dark, action movie. And so I think you can expect him to bring a lot of that into play. Like it’s gonna be a lot darker and it’s gonna be a lot grittier. And I think with the amount of action scenes that are going to be in it, it’s going to be way more guy-friendly. I mean, there’s an entire war that happens in this movie. So it will be really exciting to see.
Q: Eclipse seems to be one of the, if not the, most favorite book across the board in the fandom. How do you think that the screen play and the final film is going to appeal to the fans’ expectations for Eclipse?
Tyson: Well I know me, personally, Eclipse was my favorite book, too. And when I read the script for Eclipse and when I was doing work on Eclipse, I was really proud. I felt like it stuck really true to it and it translated really well from the book. So I think the fans are going to like it a lot.

IDOL Magazine features various New Moon cast members
Hi Twilight Stars
team-twilight.com has this interview plus pics with our boys!!!
Cool !!!
via @teamtwilighters
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.

Twilight Examiner talks to Tyson Houseman on New Moon & Eclipse
Amanda Bell from Twilight Examiner has an exclusive interview with Tyson Houseman who plays "Quil Ateara" in New Moon and Eclipse. Check out the article below! - Lydia
Via Twilight Examiner
Via Twilight Examiner
For starters, Houseman revealed that there really was some coalescence between the on-screen relationship between he and his wolfpack co-stars and that which existed off-screen.
Said he, "The relationship between myself and my cast members really did reflect the relationship of the characters, because when we filmed New Moon, I was the only character who was not yet part of the wolfpack, and so I had a different shooting schedule and different costume work and hair and make up etc. While we all became friends, I still did not get to see the rest of the guys as much as they did, and so they all had a bit more of a bonding experience than I did. Although during the filming of Eclipse, my character is part of the pack and so I got to spend a lot more time with the guys."
Though becoming a part of the Twilight series meant he was photographed by paparazzi and fans even before the initial casting announcement was released, he tries not to let it get into his head. "At first I really didn’t know what to think about it, and I felt that I didn’t deserve that kind of attention. I try not to let stuff like that get to me, it’s very important to me to stay grounded and stay true to myself," he said.
