The Australian radio show Hot30 has the first ever interview with the newly cast Riley in Eclipse, who will be played by Aussie newcomer Xavier Samuel.
The interview with 25-year old Xavier begins at around 7:30 in the audio, where he confirms that he will indeed play Riley. Here’s what else we learn–
- It’s his first American film role
- He made his initial audition tape in Sydney, then flew to Vancouver and LA to meet the crew, and just found out yesterday that he landed the role
- Xavier watched Twilight for the first time during the plane trip to North America
Xavier tells the Daily Telegraph that he hasn’t started reading the books yet, and plans to begin immediately. He says that–
I’m in a bit of a daze but it’s a wonderful bit of news,” Samuel exclusively told Confidential from Los Angeles last night.
