New Moon Tour: Checking in with Jamie, Edi, Alex and Kiowa

The New Moon tour is still in full swing and we are catching up with Jamie, Edi, Alex and Kiowa as they make a stop in Minnesota and Miami for meet the excited Twilight fans.

First stop, Edi and Jamie were in the Mall of America in Minnesota where they met excited fans, signed autographs and pose for pictures. The event also features performances by Anya Marina.

During the Q and A session, the actors revealed that even though they play evil characters, they certainly have sentimental sides, too. Jamie’s favorite animal? “A whale. Any form of whale is good,” he said. “They’re very gentle and slow creatures.” (Edi, on the other hand, prefers “very aggressive and fast creatures,” like panthers. Go figure, right?)

During story time with Edi, Edi recounted to Jamie the story of his “Kelly” voice, which he would use multiple times over the next 20 or so minutes (“Team Edward! Omigod!”). Jamie didn’t offer any hint of his own “Kelly” voice, but joked that his first audition tape was for a very important female role: “I have played Bella Swan. That’s my original audition tape and it will never see the light of day.” (Edi, very seriously, said he would choose to play James if he could be another character, “just because he’s all the way bad, and it’s fun and liberating to be bad.”)

Both Edi and Jamie agreed that they’d choose to be vampires over werewolves (of course!), but Jamie’s reasoning was oddly practical. “You’d lose your clothes when you transformed every time [into a werewolf],” Jamie said. “You’d have to buy a new wardrobe every day.”
