SATURDAY NIGHT MAGAZINE: ‘NEW MOON’S’ BAD BOY, ALEX MERAZ
Saturday Night Magazine has a brand new interview with wolf pack member Alex Meraz. In his interview Alex talks about getting the role of Paul, of course the muscles on the wolf pack and some of his favorite things. Read more below:
There must have been some fierce competition for those four new werewolf roles. What was the audition process like and how did you finally land the role of Paul?It was an intense process. When I received the call for submissions, I had already started working out because I knew it would be physically demanding. After a couple rounds of callbacks, I was lucky enough to land a role.
What can you tell us about Paul?
Paul is the “bad boy” of the wolf pack. He comes across as volatile, but I think he’s misunderstood. He is just very proud of being Quilete and is unapologetic about being a protector for his people
How did you approach the role in terms of playing a werewolf? Did you do any kind of research or physical prep?
I looked at books on wolf pack mentalities and how the chain of command is governed by looks and postures, so I wanted to use some of those attributes in playing my role.
Did you feel any pressure playing a character in a franchise with such die-hard fans?
I felt more responsibility to the Quilete tribe than anything because I wanted to represent their tribe in a respectful manner. I’ve been fortunate enough to find out that the die-hard fans are extremely supportive.
