Aced Magazine was able to interview Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon where the two men answered questions regarding their roles in New Moon, auditioning and being part of the Twilight Saga. Here is an excerpt:
How did you get into acting and land the roles in New Moon?
Alex: I have always had an interest in film, and all its different components. There are so many different layers to a good film, and I always wanted to do it and try it out. I got a great role in Twilight. I mean, that is a great launching pad for a new career.
Kiowa: What can I say, this is a great way to start an acting career. The movie is going to be great all the way.
The two of you play werewolves in the film, but most of the time you are shirtless. How did you buff up for the roles of Paul and Embry?
Kiowa: As for buffing up for the role, the studio hired us a trainer. He had worked on thefilm 300, so he knew how to jack up people.
Alex: I do karate and wrestling so I was already in shape, but I had to gain weight back and get beefed up again. I have a hate relationship with food and lifting weights, but it was all worth it.
Some directors can be tough on a cast.What was itlike working with Chris Weitz?
Alex: The director was great! In a big budget film like this there are a lot of things going on all at once, and he was able to spread things out so evenly that you did not feel any pressure. He is a very soft-spoken man. He was a man of few words, and in acting you really don’t want someone to explain too much to you in words because it takes away from what you are doing. He kept it simple. We had a really great working relationship.
Kiowa: He is the first director I have ever worked with, and it was great to get to work with someone so great.
