Everyone knows Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, but the Twilight cast is overflowing with hot stars. Maggie Grace makes her debut in Breaking Dawn Part Two. You of course know her from Lost and Taken One and Two. Here's what Maggie had to say about the film when she was here. You're in Twilight as well. This is isn't it? You're in that.

Maggie Grace

Yeah. Yeah, I'm the villain. I'm an evil vampire.

Young Hollywood

Do you find that easy?

Maggie Grace

Um, typecasting, clearly.

Young Hollywood

Right. I didn't want to say that, you did, but that's fine, we'll go with that. It's on the record. Um, and uh, that's all coming out pretty soon. Is it, is it as mental as being part of that as it seems watching it from the outside, because people are crazy.

Maggie Grace

I've heard that. I haven't, you know, my character's just in the next one. So it's yet to experience the joys of Twilight.

Young Hollywood

Also in the film is Revolution Hardy, JD Pardo. He came by and told us about his hybrid character and what it's been like joining all of the Twilight madness. He was a third person in the mix now, like Team Jacob or Edward or Noel.

JD Pardo

Well, I mean, I'm not sure there's a team Noel, but he's, you know, that's fine. It may start someday.

Young Hollywood

And there's a team Billy Burke. So wait a second, okay, so you met him on the set of Twilight first, Billy Burke, before you met him on Revolution.

JD Pardo

I did not meet him on Twilight.

Young Hollywood

But you just both happen to be on it.

JD Pardo

Yeah, I met him, um, I met him at the table read for Revolution. Um, and it was, it was really great because he, you know, we're, we're waiting for him and and we're all sitting down and and Billy comes in with his, you know, just he's just such a rock star, you know, so he just walks in and sits down next to me and while we're all getting ready, I I lean over and we go, hey, Billy Burke. He's like, yeah. I'm like, uh, you and I did Twilight together. He's like, really? I don't, okay. I was like, no, no, I'm not saying like we actually No, but he his whole thing was like he because we didn't have scenes together, you know, so he just He was skeptical.

Young Hollywood

Daniel Cudmore stopped by to tell us about being part of the successful franchise since the beginning. You're everything that you do is like this franchise cultural phenomenon. Is that sort of something that you, I mean, you just don't do small things, do you?

Daniel Cudmore

No, I mean, I mean, basically, yeah, I've been very fortunate with what I have been able to do.

Young Hollywood

So shooting that series, I mean, you were, you were in the first, you were in the first Twilight, weren't you?

Daniel Cudmore

Uh, New Moon, New Moon was the first one.

Young Hollywood

So this, it was already a hit when you booked, when you booked that job.

Daniel Cudmore

Yeah, I mean, it was, um, I mean, it was hard to say the first one kind of came out and it was, it was growing and then I think after New Moon, it really, really took off. I mean, the the women for for Twilight are very passionate. They are. That's the best word I think I can put.

Young Hollywood

Of course, you can't leave out the werewolves. Alex Meraz and Chaske Spencer stopped by and told us about letting Miss Julia Jones into their wolf pack. Are you guys anything like your characters in real life?

Alex Meraz

Yes.

Young Hollywood

I love that.

Chaske Spencer

Yes, yes. With that said, yeah, I guess kind of similar.

Young Hollywood

You guys seem really close. Are you guys close off the set as well as on the set?

Chaske Spencer

Yeah, we're pretty tight. We're a pretty tight crew. It's something that happened once we all met each other. It's just instantaneous and it feels really familiar, you know, like just as soon as I met Julia and we had like a dinner together, it just felt comfortable and I think that's been the greatest thing about the cast is that it just it works. And I think it translates on screen.

Young Hollywood

And we can't forget Booboo Stewart. Were you a fan of the series before you were cast?

Booboo Stewart

Um, when I uh, thought I might like have an audition, I started reading the books and I truly become a fan. I can see why like so many people get into the books because Stephanie Meyer just describes every single character so well and you really fall in love with all the characters.

Young Hollywood

It's true. And then you also have two sisters, so were they, you know, crazy when you got cast?

Booboo Stewart

Um, they were really happy and uh, I don't know if they're crazy Twilight fans, but I think they've actually become bigger fans over the time. Like once Team Edward and Team Jacob and Sage loves Edward, my baby sister, so

Young Hollywood

Oh, she's she's got the right idea. No offense. Come on. Come on.
