Tyson Houseman talks ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’

New Eclipse still

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.
