Life Bio: Justin Chon is a bright up-and-coming actor, his career starting only a little over two years ago.  Being that Justin is a new face in Hollywood, his background is a tad unclear and the information is from the few interviews he has done.  Born Justin Jitae Chon in Garden Grove, California, he was raised in Southern California with his parents and continues to live in the Los Angeles area.  Justin is described as an easy-going, California boy, enjoying his time at the beach surfing or spending time with friends.  He played saxophone in the marching band during his high school years at University High School in Irvine, California.  He attended the University of Southern California where he majored in Business Administration.  To fulfill the language requirements of his degree, after trying Japanese, he changed to take Korean.  It was spoken around his home growing up, however he had not mastered it and took this opportunity to.  During his junior year, he spent time in South Korea as part of a year abroad. The first semester he lived in the dorms of Yonsei University in Seoul while the second with his maternal grandmother.  Through this experience he was able to learn about his culture which would further aid him in a role in the movie “Crossing Over”.  His father was an actor in film and television in South Korean but gave it up to marry Justin’s mother and move to the United States.  His mother’s parents did not approve of his father’s occupation so he left it to start a retail business in Southern California. His mother is an accomplished pianist and has passed her passion of music to Justin who is accomplished in several instruments.  Due to his father being in films, he was naturally drawn to the films and television and it became a fascination for him.  While growing up, Justin noticed that there were not many Asian American actors.  This caused him to feel that his dream of being an actor would be impossible until he saw John Cho in “American Pie.”  It was then he felt that he could pursue this dream as a career and not as a hobby.  His career started with an episode of “Jack and Bobby”, a television mini-series.  Following this, he was in two short films: “Taki and Lucy” and “Fleetwood” and an episode of “The O.C.”  His cross over from television to film came with his part in the Disney television movie “Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior” where he plays the lead character’s brother, Peter Wu.  Justin joined the cast for the new Nickelodeon show “Just Jordan” in 2007, as Tony Lee and has already signed for the next season.  However, he is balancing this role with the several film roles he is working on.  Although television is his start, Justin says he prefers to do films as they remind him of summer camp.  He looks forward to continuing with his acting career and later on possibly getting involved with directing films.  Although described as a down-to earth individual, he is a driven actor who continues to hone his craft through acting classes and top-notch acting coaches.
 
Fun Facts: One of Justin’s favorite movies is “Interview with a Vampire.”  He enjoys playing music (piano, violin, guitar and saxophone), watching television, skateboarding and surfing.  He owns a shoe company called Attic. His first paying acting job was a T-Mobile commercial, Justin says he played a “Chinese immigrant wannabe rapper.”

Nikki couldn’t stay away from set for too long and since has appeared in several films including “Lords of Dogtown”, also directed by Hardwicke and Mini’s First time. Nikki prefers independent films and the indie mindset.

Gil Birmingham

Character/Job:  Billy Black

Actor/Production Person: Gil Birmingham

Birthday: July 13, 1966

City and State: San Antonio, Texas

Official casing announcement link: https://www.twilightlexicon.com/?p=719

Life Bio:

      Some dreams never die!  Born on a military base in San Antonio, Texas, Gil Birmingham started out with his focus on an entirely different spotlight than the one he now finds himself in.  When looking at his lengthy filmography, it becomes quite apparent that Gil is an actor who has enjoyed a steady stream of work since 1986.  So it should come as some surprise to learn that Gil Birmingham a.k.a. multi-talented actor a.k.a. Jacob Black’s dad . . .  initially set out in life with a dream to ROCK!  And almost thirty acting projects later . . . that dream still lives.  But these days, the dream keeps company with a thriving and illustrious acting career.  

      For Gil, the road to acting was not always a clear one.  The son of a military man, he spent his younger years traveling with his family from one destination to another.  His father was Comanche and his mother was a non-Native American.  Gil concedes that neither of them were perfect.  Growing up on a military base did not always lend itself to experiences of a culturally diverse nature.  So not surprisingly, there was very little exposure to the arts early on.  In fact, for a young Native American boy, military life overall was often very lonely.  His unconventional upbringing often brought about feelings of isolation and abandonment.   

      It was not until he entered college at the University of Southern California that he began to branch out and experience new things.  He started by trying out a variety of school majors before he finally settled on Administration.  Once decided, Gil went on to graduate with a degree in that field where he subsequently worked as an engineer for four years.  During that exploratory period, Gil started delving into even more areas that were once barred from him as a child.  Along with a love for rock music, Gil soon found that he had an interest in weight lifting.  So much so that he began competing in the sport on a city wide level.   

      Then, on the recommendation of a former girlfriend, Gil decided that he should give acting a try.  His big break came when he appeared opposite Diana Ross in her music video for the song, entitled of all things . . . ‘Muscles’.  From there, the acting opportunities kept coming.  Everything from playing the role of Conan the Barbarian at Universal Studio’s Theme Park to a number of guest stints on several popular daytime soap operas.  

      These days, Gil has enjoyed a string of guest appearances on TV series like Veronica Mars and the supernaturally charged Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Ironically, Gil’s new role in Twilight calls for him to tackle the world of vampires yet again.  Except this time, the vampires are of the non-fanged variety.  In Twilight Gil plays the role of Billy Black, the superstitious Quileute Indian and family patriarch who tries to warn Bella Swan about her mysterious new friends, the Cullens.  But to Twilight fans everywhere, Billy Black is first and foremost . . . Jacob Black’s daddy!  Which is pretty much as close as one person can get to being a real rock star.  

      Which brings this back to the original premise.  Some dreams never die.  Because Gil still plays the guitar.  And he still travels from city to city performing with a band.  Who knows, if this acting thing doesn’t work out . . .                 
 

Fun Facts (if applicable): Gil plays the guitar and performs with a band.

                        He once played Conan the Barbarian at Universal Studios.

                        Gil is a former weight lifter.

Melissa Rosenberg

Twilight Movie Biography: Melissa Rosenberg

Biography written by: Di

 

 

 

Melissa Who?

As you search the cast lists, you may wonder what part Melissa plays in the Twilight movie. Her task is a challenging one – that of the screenwriter for the movie.

 

Melissa’s Life Thus Far (Biography)

Melissa was born August 28 in Marin County, California. Her mother was a lawyer and her father was a dentist who became a psychologist. Melissa’s mom passed away when she was a teenager. After moving to Los Angeles, her father remarried. Her immediate and extended family members have some interesting similarities. As Melissa notes, “My sister is a dance therapist; my other sister is in graduate school to become a therapist. My husband’s parents are both shrinks. His uncle, two aunts and sister are shrinks. At our wedding, half the attendees were shrinks, the other half, their clients. Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but you get the point.”1 Melissa is married to Lev L. Spiro, a well-known television and film director (Ugly Betty, Everyone Hates Chris, My Name Is Earl and others). 

Melissa’s educational path wove from her large public high school in southern California to a stint with a small improvisational dance theatre group in New York City. After a couple of years with the troupe, she enrolled at Bennington College in Vermont. This was a marvelous time for Melissa; in an alumni publication, she states that “I walked into VAPA [the Visual and Performing Arts Building] and I lay on those sprung wood floors and just laughed with joy at how fantastic this incredible space was to create in. And I knew my entire job was to create and learn.”2 Melissa graduated from Bennington College in 1986, majoring in dance. Her original intention, to be a choreographer, changed once she returned to Los Angeles, but her mission of creating and learning did not. She went to graduate school, obtaining an MFA in film and television producing from the University of Southern California’s Peter Stark Producing Program.3

 

 

Professional Credits:

Melissa has been extremely busy, as both a producer and screenwriter, ever since she graduated with her MFA. She is the executive producer of Alyx and Dexter. She was nominated in 2008 for a Writers’ Guild of America award for her work on Dexter, a Showtime original television series popular with viewers and critics alike about a serial killer. Melissa has worked on other such shows as The O.C., Love Monkey, Birds of Prey, The Agency, Ally McBeal, Dark Skies, The Outer Limits, and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.4 She wrote the screenplay to Step Up (2006), a movie about two very different teens that defy the odds, fall in love, and realize their dreams. 

Melissa loves her job. “Being a screenwriter is at times extraordinarily gratifying, at times extraordinarily frustrating.  Like anything worthwhile in life.  I wouldn’t choose do anything else.  Of course, I don’t have any other skills so I’m kind of stuck with it.”5

Then Came Twilight 

Melissa’s work on Step Up was the catalyst for her connection to Twilight. As she says:

“I became involved in Twilight through Summit Entertainment,  (the studio that is producing Twilight).  I had written Step Up for Summit so we’d worked together closely, and successfully, before.  I was unavailable to write the Step Up sequel. When Eric Feig called (I think it was in July ’07) to see if I was interested in Twilight, he asked how I felt about teens and vampires and I said, “I’m in!”  [That was] all I needed to hear.  Then I read the book and was absolutely thrilled.  I met with all the producers and Catherine Hardwicke (with whom I immediately fell in love), told them what I had in mind.  It jibed with what they had in mind.  And that was that.  I started writing.  It was a very fast process.”6

So what was it like? How did Melissa approach this task, knowing that there was a huge fan base devoted to the books and eagerly awaiting this movie? She says: 

“Twilight was my first adaptation of a novel to feature film (Dexter began as a novel).  Everyone has always said that adapting a book is as difficult as writing an original.  I’ve always thought writers who said that were full of it.  And I still think so.  When you’re handed even a title or a character name, you’ve still got more than the blank page you face with an original.  Which is why I always wanted to adapt a book. 

Of course, I’m completely spoiled with Twilight, my first feature film adaptation.  I was handed a wonderful, rich, complex, and intriguing book, with great characters and situations and emotional arcs all beautifully constructed for me.  All I had to do was not screw it up.  Easier said than done, of course.”7 

 

And what does Stephenie think about Melissa’s work. In a discussion on another fan site, Stephenie says:

“I have read the script. I am very pleased with it. They tried to follow the spirit of the book (because there is no way to do the book exactly as it was written unless the BBC wanted to do a six-hour mini-series) and tried to keep everyone in character. I was able to offer some input on the script. Most of my suggestions were very minor. …Of course things had to be much shorter, but I thought Melissa Rosenberg did a great job hitting the key material. The thing that people (particularly hysteria-prone teens) need to remember is that the only thing that really matters is that the feeling of Twilight is there. There is no one line or one event that makes the book what it is. What matters is the magic between Edward and Bella–the innocence and the self-denial. I hope that there is a similar feeling when you finish the movie as when you finish the book.”8

Life Bio:

Actress Anna Kendrick was born in 1985 in Portland, Maine.  A talkative, bubbly and attention-seeking child, it didn’t take her long to find her calling in stage and film.  By 1991 she was already showing off her talents in a community theatre production of Annie, in which she played the role of Tessie.  Later, when asked about this first role of hers being in the popular musical, she lamented, "It’s a little cliché, I really wish it was something other than that, because it just seems so trite."
 
By the late nineties, she had made her debut on Broadway.  In 1998 she played "Dinah" in the musical High Society, which landed her a Tony Award nomination at the age of only 13.  She was the second youngest performer ever to be given that honor.  Her role as Dinah also earned her other acknowledgements, including Theater World Award and Drama Desk Award nominations.
 
Anna went on to participate in a variety of other stage productions, and finally began acting onscreen in 2003.  One of her first roles was Fritzi Wagner in the musical comedy Camp. When asked about any similarities between herself and Fritzi, a sycophantic fangirl, Anna was quoted:  "I do have a passion for theater.  But I do my best not to stalk people."
 
The role won Anna more exciting nominations, including Best Supporting Actress in the Chlotrudis Awards, and Best Debut Performance in the Independent Spirit Awards.  In 2007, after a few different smaller movie parts, she appeared in the critically acclaimed film Rocket Science.  Playing Ginny Ryerson, a fast-talking high school debater, Anna said she felt intimidated and challenged.  Critics, however, found her performance highly praiseworthy, and she was nominated yet again for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress that year.
 
Her signing and acting talents have given Anna the opportunity to work with a long list of great actors, actresses and directors, including Jeromy Irons and Todd Graff.  She’ll be adding more star-power to that list in just this coming year, with a major role in an upcoming movie opposite Ben Stiller and Jason Schwartzman.  That film, The Marc Pease Experience, is in now in post-production.  Also this year Anna will play her first onscreen lead role in Elsewhere, a missing-persons thriller by director Nathan Hope.  Her third project this year, Twilight, is based on the best-selling vampire novel of the same name.  It will be released in December.  In this adaptation of author Stephenie Meyer’s first book, Anna plays Jessica Stanley, the human friend of main character Bella Swan.
 
With all of these things on her horizon, it seems Anna must prepare herself for the likelihood of celebrity status.  Her manager, Kim Matuka, at Online Talent Group, has been working with her exclusively since the age of 10. " I always knew Anna was special…" says Matuka.  "It just took a little longer for the industry to realize that."

 

Fun Facts:
 
Has an older brother, Michael Cooke Kendrick, who is also an actor.
 
Anna is 5 foot 4 inches and has blue eyes.
 
Attended Deering High School in Portland, Maine.
 
Her current agency is Agency for the Performing Arts.
 
Anna’s favorite film character to date is Sylvia Fowler in The Women (1939), played by Rosalind Russell.
 
Says she is inspired by fearless women in comedy, with favorites including Parker Posey, Molly Shannon and Amy Poehler.
 
Starred on the cover of Portland Magazine in March 2003
                  
Was quoted saying:  "An actor should always let humility outweigh ambition."
 
When asked about her childhood said she was, "One of those hyperactive kids who wanted to jump around and sing and dance and scream and be on stage."

 

 
Stephenie’s comments on this person:  (I can’t find any!  Am I missing something?)

Actor Bio Sheet for Jackson Rathbone

Nickname: Jay
 
Character:  Jasper Whitlock Hale

      Link to Character Bio:  https://www.twilightlexicon.com/?p=20

Position:  Actor
Birthday: December 21, 1984
Birthplace: Singapore
 
Official casing announcement link:   http://www.summit-ent.com/news.php?news_id=68
 
Life Bio (500-2000 words):   Because of his father’s work, Jackson Rathbone was born in Singapore, and then lived in Maydan and Jakarta (Indonesia), London, Connecticut, California, Norway, and finally settled in Midland, Texas. Jackson immediately began involvement in the local community theatre and was accepted into the youth actors program, The Pickwick Players. He was highly active in many extra-curricular activities, including basketball, track, soccer, baseball, and football. He even started a band and a mobile DJ business. Juggling so many activities began to become a chore so Jackson decided to stick with what made him the happiest, acting and music. In high school, he moved to Northwest Michigan to attend the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy as a theatre major. He grew to appreciate classical theatre and flourished in Shakespearean plays.   His best friend from Interlochen, singer/actor Alex Boyd, had already moved to LA and introduced Jackson to his manager, Pat Cutler, who signed Jackson right away. She sent him to study film acting with Jeremiah Comey and on auditions where he landed a recurring role on Disney 411. He was soon signed by at Paradigm, by Andrew Ruff. When the fall came, Jackson, Pat, and Andrew realized that it would be best for Jackson to stay in LA and pursue a film career. He settled in for the long haul and roomed with his friend Alex, with plans to start a music studio. Jackson booked several commercials and a minor role in the film from William Katt, Molding Clay which shot near his hometown in TX. In his off-time from acting, Jackson continued to write music with Alex, performing at small open-mic nights and booking a gig at The Gardenia. They joined forces with other music producers in LA and San Diego to form Prolifik Productions and soon had a professional music studio built in their own living room. He next landed a lead in Pray for Morning , an independent thriller from writer/director Cartney Wearn. From there he went immediately into a series regular role in “Beautiful People”, a series for ABC Family Jackson jumped at the opportunity to join such a wonderful project with an incredible production team.   In what little free time he has, Jackson loves to watch and study movies, as well as listening to and studying music, which he has been doing most of his life.   Rathbone has recently formed a production company with his manager where he hopes to find interesting projects and eventually, one day, even direct.
 
 

Fun Facts:

Jackson: “I couldn’t do without my guitar, Annabelle. When I picked it out, I thought, ‘This is a great sounding Southern Resonator, and it needs an appropriate Southern girl’s name.”

Rathbone was chosen by Girl’s’ Life Magazine as "The Hottie" and has also been featured in Popstar and ELLEgirl.

He considers Michael Jackson’s Thriller a classic.

Jackson has three sisters. 

Jackson started a band with his friend, Alex Boyd. He plays the guitar and the harmonica. 

Some of Jackson’s favorite movies include Seven Samurai and Dead Man. And a few of his favorite artists include Bob Dylan, Modest Mouse, Spoon, Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Steppin’ In It, and Bright Eyes. 

Jackson’s hero is Johnny Depp, and he considers Jack Nicolson as his idol. 

Jackson: I’m all about nightlife. I live during the night. 

Jackson: (on being told he resembles Hugh Grant) Quite a bit actually. Yea that would be great,

where do I sign for that. 

Jackson: (on when he learned how to box) When I was in elementary school, I was picked on by this kid a year older every morning at the bus stop. On picture day, he pushed me down so I jumped on his back and got into a scrape. My father taught me to box after that day. 

Jackson: It’s not exactly that I can’t stay in one place. It’s that if I’m in one place, I have to rearrange it every four to six months! I have to completely change my room! 

 
Stephenie’s comments on this person (if applicable): 
“Jackson Rathbone can really play the guitar. Our taste in music is not exactly the same, but we found common ground with Radiohead’s Creep, with which he then serenaded me.”

Rachelle Lefevre

Actor Bio Sheet

Character/Job: Victoria
Actor/Production Person: Rachelle Lefevre
Birthday: 1978
City and State: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Official casting announcement link: http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/02/14/nikki-reed-sees-twilight-as-vampire-film-adds-to-cast/

Life Bio (500-2000 in your own words):
Born in 1978 in Montreal, Rachelle Lefevre, an only child, dreamed of becoming an actor when she first watched Annie as a young girl.  Constantly “hamming it up” for her family, she’d dance around the house singing Madonna songs, but because she says she can’t sing, she looked for other ways to perform.   Depending on what television show she’d be watching, one day she’d want to be a lawyer and the next day, a marine biologist.  She soon realized she didn’t really want to be any of those things; she wanted to pretend to be them.  That’s what led her to the stage and acting.  
Studying creative arts at Dawson College in Montreal, she took two summers of intensive theater training at Walnut Hill School, a Boston-area fine arts academy.  Then she transferred to McGill University back in Montreal to work on degrees in literature and education.
While waiting tables at a Montreal restaurant, a regular customer helped Rachelle get an audition for a part she didn’t get.  She must have made an impression on the casting director, because even though she had no film or television credits at that point and her head shot was done with a Polaroid, they called her back to audition for a new sitcom being shot in Montreal.  She got that part and made her acting debut in 1999 as Stacey Hanson in Big Wolf on Campus.  It was a TV series on ABC Family about a teenage werewolf going to high school. Her character left the show after one season to attend college, as did Rachelle. 
After landing roles in various TV movies and episodes, in 2002 she was cast in George Clooney’s Confessions of a Dangerous Mind where she played the part of Tuvia.  Then in 2003, she got a major role in the romantic teen comedy Hatley High as Hyacinthe Marquez.
Leaving her hometown of Montreal in 2004, Rachelle moved to Hollywood to further pursue her acting career. In 2005, she landed a starring role as Lily in the FOX sitcom Life on a Stick and in 2006-07, she played Heather in the ABC sitcom What About Brian. She’s worked on projects with George Clooney, Charlize Theron, Susan Sarandon, Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker, Edward Burns, and David E. Kelley.  
Rachelle is passionate about her acting career and isn’t shy about using unconventional methods to get a part.  She once sent a homemade video to a casting director for a role she wanted.  In a three-page letter to Catherine Hardwicke, director of Twilight, she explained why she needed to be cast as Victoria and discussed “how vampires were the best metaphor for human anxiety and questions about being alive.”
To prepare for the role of Victoria, Rachelle watched YouTube videos of lions and walked around her house acting like a cat, because Stephenie Meyer described the character as “feline.”  Also, since not much is known about Victoria’s back story from the books, Rachelle created an “intricate” one herself in order to accurately portray the character on screen.  She explored why Victoria acts the way she does and what her mortal life was like.   She doesn’t see Vic (as she refers to her) as evil, she prefers “unforgiving or merciless.”
Although she doesn’t have a favorite scene from the film, one of the more memorable ones is the baseball scene.  She found it interesting that while her character wants to kill Rosalie and they “get in each other’s faces”, in real life she and Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie, became friends.  In describing Victoria’s relationship with James, played by Cam Gigandet, Rachelle says it’s “hot. Very hot.” 
With her trademark mane of curly strawberry-blonde hair, effusive smile, and “impossibly sweet” personality, fans have compared her to Lucille Ball and Debra Messing.  Because Rachelle considers herself athletic and enjoys hiking, riding horses, kickboxing, and scuba diving, during the filming of Twilight she tried to do as many stunts as she could.  
From Canadian cutie to vampire vixen, Rachelle Lefevre has Twilight fans everywhere excited to see her bring Victoria to life on the big screen.

Fun Facts (if applicable): Rachelle loves hanging out in cafes and can stay for hours.  She enjoys doing crossword puzzles and suduko.  She’s read all three books and is a self-proclaimed Edward girl.  “What can I say?  I have a thing for vampires.”

Stephenie’s comments on this person (if applicable): From StephenieMeyer.com “Rachelle Lefevre, the actress who will play Victoria in Twilight the movie, recently was interviewed by MTV Movie News. Click here to read the article on mtv.com. Stephenie has asked me to post this link for everyone because she read the article (while on tour in Germany) and loved it.”

I couldn’t find where to send her fan mail to.  I think I found her agent and publicist online, Agent: Todd Eisner, Agency for the Performing Arts, 9200 Sunset Blvd., Suite 900, Los Angeles, CA 90069; Writers and Artists Agency, 8383 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 550, Beverly Hills,CA 90211.; Publicist: Mia Hansen, Aquarius Public Relations, 7700 Sunset Blvd., Suite 100, Los Angeles, CA 90046. Couldn’t find her on Myspace. She’s got a private Facebook account, so I couldn’t access it. Perhaps you have this information as you interviewed her originally.   Otherwise, I can contact her publicist (if you can confirm my info is correct) to find out where to have fan mail sent.

Is there a place to for the Twilight-related interview links?  If so, here they are:

http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1582432/story.jhtml
From Twilight Lexicon: https://www.twilightlexicon.com/Interviews/Rachelle%20Lefevre%20Q&A.pdf
From Twilight Moms: http://twilightmomsforums.freeforums.org/chat-with-rachelle-3-19-08-t4053.html

Other problems–I couldn’t find her actual birthdate and there’s a discrepancy in the year born.  Wikipedia lists her being born in 1979, while IMDB says 1978.  This makes her 29 or 30, however, the MTV article states she’s only 20.  Since she was cast in 1999 in Big Wolf on Campus where she played a HS student and went off to college after one year in the cast, the MTV article must be incorrect.

I found a link to Suffering Man’s Charity, a movie she was in.  However, it’s got strong gay/lesbian themes, and it sounds pretty twisted, so not sure you want to use the link on the Lex or not.  Another of her films for which I found a link, Head in the Clouds, has a lesbian sub-plot, but it isn’t as overt.  I have not seen either of these movies, but I wanted to point this out.
