MICHAEL WELCH INTERVIEW

Posted September 22nd, 2008 By: 4 Comments »

Portrait Magazine has an interview with Michael Welch who plays Mike Newton in the Twilight movie due out November 21st. The interview is from July 2008, but still very cool.

 
So you’re going to play the part of Mike Newton in Twilight. What was the audition process like?
Well I originally auditioned for Edward, and as I’ve mentioned before, I’m really glad I didn’t get it! I was never quite right for it, mainly because Edward is described as unearthly beauty and that’s not quite a responsibility I want and not one I think I can pull off.

Which was your favourite scene filmed and why?
There’s a scene where Mike asks Bella to the prom and I think that was my favourite scenes, because it was my best chance for one on one acting.

If you like Mike (Michael Welch) this is a cute interview allowing the opportunity to get to know him a bit more. He does mention an embarrassing moment on set where Justin (who is Justin?) is asked to nail Mike on the head with a volleyball. (can’t wait to see that scene) He seems like a good pick to play Mike. What do you think? Good choice/Bad choice? Don’t care?

    I think Michael Welch looks almost too smart to play Mike Newton… I always thought of that character as being a narcissistic dumb jock who all of the “normal” girls swoon over… he has nice eyes though. I could see why all of the girls as Forks High School could want him. Ugh. is it November yet?!

    i think he is a pretty good choice for Mike, there are times when he does look to smart for him.

    Justin is the guy who plays Eric Yorkie, or atleast that the only Justin i could find on IMDB thats in the movie

    I think Michael Welch is EXACTLY like I pictured Mike Newton-I personally didn’t picture him as being that stupid jock type, really, so maybe that’s why- plus I LOVE Michael Welch- I loved him in Joan of Arcadia, which I was obsessed with at one point in time, and I love him now- I mean, has anyone seen the Twilight Tuesday interview with him? How awesome was that? especially the part where he talks about NoMoreMarbles? Pretty freaking AWESOME (so is NoMoreMarbles, by the way)- not to mention he gave her his “Seal of Approval” b4 that- lol. and as if you needed another reason to like him, here’s a link to a YouTube video he recently posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwbKC-73Yj4
    It’s awesome, funny, and cute. I love Michael Welch!

    oh, and i forgot to say, Lauren, you’re right, “Justin” is a reference to Justin Chon, who plays Eric Yorkie.
