Wolf Day continues. Having posted an interview with Alex Meraz, who plays a lupine Quileute Indian in Twilight: New Moon, earlier today, VF.com brings you an exclusive Q&A with one of the youngest members of the Wolf Pack: Kiowa Gordon. Unlike his cast mates, Kiowa had never acted before this movie. We recently called him at his home of Scotsdale, Arizona—we apologize for waking him up—where he talked about how Twilight author Stephenie Meyer handpicked him for the role, and promised his female fans that it’s O.K. to come closer: he doesn’t bite. (Don’t believe it.)



Little Gold Men: Can you tell us a little bit about your Native American descent?


Kiowa Gordon: Our tribe is called the Hualapai, and we are in Northern Arizona. We sit on top of the Grand Canyon and used to live there [on the reservation] about ten years ago. We take frequent trips back.


New Moon is your first film. What was the casting process like?


They had an open casting call here in Phoenix, and I auditioned. I was going to


church with my mom out in Cave Creek, and Stephenie Meyer goes to church with her. She kind of helped me out on that one.


Did Stephenie suggest you?


Yes, she told production, I think, and got me some sides to do the audition.
