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.
