Jackson Loves Jasper ( Digitalspy)

Jackson Rathbone has opened up about playing Jasper in The Twilight Saga.

The 26-year-old revealed that he admires the character's attempt to cling to his humanity in spite of his nature to be a killer.

"It's definitely the thing I love about Jasper the most," Rathbone told movieline "He's fighting his instincts in order to maintain that last shred of humanity."

The actor went on to admit that he finds playing Jasper to be exciting because the character is so different from himself.

"I get to play such a strict very, very, very still character who's quiet and thoughtful and trying to resist temptation of his instinct," Rathbone said. "I'm a very relaxed, easy-going guy, so to play kind of a buttoned up figure like Jasper was very exciting."

Rathbone's Twilight co-star Ashley Greene recently claimed that the popular franchise will not define her acting career, insisting that she feels as though she is just getting started.

Earlier this week Robert Pattinson revealed that Kristen Stewart was terrified of filming the wedding scene in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1.
