Posted by Twilight_News_Updates - 11/02/08 at 07:02 amThe Hollywood Reporter (printed edition) has announced that Michael Welch will be playing Mike Newton. Unfortuantely the article is only available in the print version so we can not host it here. Links to Michael’s Website and his IMDb page. Recently Michael has been in Joan of Arcadia and the film Lost Dream. We will update with any new information as soon as we get it. Thanks to jennalou for sending in this information!!
And just as a heads up, with all the information coming out about the film and the books, we have to ask that you do not copy our posts word for word and put them on your website. Certainly report the information as it comes to you, but use your own words. That should go for any news you read about from any website. Always put the info in your own words and give a link back to the source.

Very cute! I’m sure he’d hate me saying this, but I just want to pinch his cheeks grandma-style!
Woo Hoo!!! Mike Newton!!! Michael Welch is so awesome. I saw him in a movie (other than the one you said) but I forget which one. Bummer =P but this is really the best choice for Mike. (In my opinion)
when you look at it, mike and jess look reaaallly good together..
they almost look like brother and sister
kind of
it’s one of those brother and sister couples you know.
totally a bro-sis couple arianne
i love him…just wondering if theyll dye his hair or not…just curious
i love how this is coming along, im really happy that the casting directors are REALLY listening to stephenie and at least with the characters are doing an ubergreat job at staying close to the book and how SM created them. im so excited!!!
I *love* him as Mike. He looks exactly how I pictured him to be. (He’s cute, too.)
OMG!!! I luved Michael Welch in Joan of Archadia (my favorite show until they canceled it @#$%!……)!!! I think he’ll be a perfect Mike!!!
WOW hes perfect for the role but i cant wait to see whos going to play the roles of the Cullens cant wait
HOW EXCITING!!!!
He is sort of cute I like very good for Mike yay!
Ohhhh I see what they’re doing now. Everyday they’re going to announce a new character and gradually make their way up to the important roles!! Smart people
I like the casting so far!!! hahaha Micheal will be a good mike!! They just have to dye his hair light blonde!!! I can’t wait to see who they announce tomorrow… Angela?? Charlie? Billy? Who knows!? We’ll just have to wait and see… 
no. no! NO!
am i the ONLY person who think he’s totally WRONG?!
he’s completely not like i pictured him, which i know my opinion totally doesn’t matter, but i think he’s TOTALLY wrong.
Micheal Welch is simply adorable. I think he’ll do a gret job if his resume is anything to go by.
Cute – I don’t know anything about his acting, but I think he certainly looks the part – especially if they dye his hair. But they wouldn’t necessarily HAVE to, as long as he’s a good actor!
WOW!!!! I SORRY BUT THAT WAS THE WORST CHOICE EVA!!! THAT IS SOO NOT WHAT I EXPECTED HIM 2 LOOK LIKE!
LOL MIKE IS FAT.
He’s so…cute! He’s got that baby face that Bella described. He’s EXACTLY like I pictured Mike. =]
