Every year Entertainment Weekly takes the hundreds or thousands? of actors that attend Comic Con and puts them in their very own “photo booth” at the convention, creating priceless portraits of our cast that we keep forever. The 2012 Comic Con is generating even more pictures for The Twilight Saga with the expansion of vampires for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2. Here we have of course the Cullen family with Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Peter Facinelli, Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone; and then we have several new cast members as well! Included are Rami Malek (Benjamin) and Angela Sarafyan (Tia) from the Egyptian Coven, Patrick Brennan (Liam), Marlane Barnes (Maggie), and Lisa Howard (Siobhan) from the Irish Coven, Noel Fisher (Vladimir) and Guri Weinberg (Stefan) from the Romanian Coven, and Tracy Heggins (Senna) and Judi Shekoni (Zafrina) of the Amazon Coven. Also included are Casey LaBow (Kate) and Maggie Grace (Irina) of the Denali Coven with Janelle Froelich (Yvette) of the French Coven. Check out all of the great portraits below:

Tracey Heggins on Playing Senna in ‘Breaking Dawn - Part 2′

Posted July 3rd, 2012 By: Evie No Comments »

We’ll soon be seeing Tracey Heggins in the upcoming Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 this November, in her role as Senna, one of the vampires of the Amazon coven. Here Celebuzz asks Tracey about her role, what is was like on the set of Breaking Dawn - Part 2, and what is was like to work with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Mackenzie Foy. Read more below:

CB: Tell us about your role in the movie.

TH: I play the role of Senna, the oldest vampire. I come from the frame of reference where Zafrina, my vampire sister, has hooked me up again in some kind of situation and I’m here now. And all of the sudden, I want to help and defend these people [Cullens]. I’m very excited, because Senna loves to fight. She loves to kick butt and take names. I don’t want to give too much away, but Senna is ready to go.

CB: Mackenzie Foy plays Bella and Edward’s child, Renesmee. What was the dynamic like with her on set?

TH: She is so genuine. Mackenzie is a real live little girl. Every time she was on set, we all doted around her. She has that kind of sweet spirit, and I can see how she booked it because it just comes through.

CB: What was it like working with stars like Robert and Kristen?

TH: It was good because they were both really down to earth. It’s very scary to go off on a set with huge names. I mean, when you are number one on IMDB, it’s a little intimidating. But they were just cool, and Kristen was like a tomboy and was so down to earth. Rob was the same way. He actually has this almost self-deprecating, ‘Oh, did I just say that?’ And I understand why he did that because it made everyone else feel so comfortable. So thank you, Robert!

CB: What was your favorite thing about playing Senna?

TH: She’s strong and quiet. I just think that with a strong, quiet person, she is thoughtful, too. I like playing people that are like that. There are a lot of maternal things going on with these girls [Senna and Zafrina] that Bella and Edward would want their help and have them around. Playing that role of Senna is just an honor. It’s an honor to be a part of this, and I have no complaints at all.
