Xavier Talks Bonding With Bryce & Battling Stick Wolves

Move over Jacob and Edward, we've got a new vampire coming your way. That's right, Xavier Samuel , who plays Riley in "Eclipse" is perhaps the hottest NEW face of the upcoming "Twilight" film.
This June's issue of GQ magazine features an exclusive interview with the up and coming Australian actor. In the feature, we learn that Xavier did not get his acting gig in a traditional way. Instead, he sent over an audition tape all the way from the “land down under” where he originally auditioned for the character of Sydney.

Samuel instead was given the role of Riley, a hungry newborn vampire who is out on a rampage. The interesting aspect to the character is that in the book Riley’s character is only featured on one page. However, in the movie version, they expand his character so Xavier's hotness is fully exposed.
In the GQ interview, the actor also discussed being the new kid on the block in the "Twilight" world and how he "bonded quite early" with Bryce Dallas Howard, who was also new to the set.
"We just kind of hit it off from the very beginning," he recalled of BDH, "rehearsed a lot of stuff, and talked about this almost Lady Macbeth kind of relationship."
As for the battle scene, Xavier had some pretty hilarious tales to tell regarding the green screen used. "The director would yell Action! and this guy puts a stick in your face," he recalled. "That stick is the wolf. They didn't teach that at drama school. I must have been sick that day."
A sexy vampire with an Australian accent and a sense of humor? What more could we ask for? So now the true question rises: Team Edward? Team Jacob? OR ... Team Riley?
