Cameron Bright alarmed the cinematic world in 2004 when he stepped into a hot bath tub with Nicole Kidman. The film was Birth, Bright was nine and he was playing the alleged re-incarnation of Kidman�s characters late husband. Their relationship was emotional, deep and dripped with eroticism. Today that kid is seventeen and a Volturi, a high ranking member of the Italian vampire brood in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
M&C- The Birth bathtub scene caused such a stir. How did your friends and family respond to it and the role you played?
CB - Beats me. I don�t know. They were like me, they yawned a little bit. For a ten year old boy, it�s not the greatest movie. Now that I watch it I can totally tell the difference and saw what I did was good. It was a creepy movie.
M&C � Your character Alec the Volturi only appears briefly in New Moon but we�ll see more of him in Eclipse. How did you flesh him out aside from the book and script?
CB - It�s hard to say what I added. All these characters are so multi-dimensional, but you can do what you want. No one knows how to play a vampire; you can really play it however you want. No one character in Twilight is the same, that�s what so great about it.
M&C - The Twilight storm is so over the top. What do you think about the fans have reacted to it?
CB - It�s amazing, the things I�ve gotten to do � travel to Australia, go to Twilight conventions around the world, and meet people who�ve been following me and watching my career since I was 6. I�m 17 and I live in a town of 100,000 people and not very many people get to do that. People ask me if I�d turn back because of the hype but I don�t regret anything I�ve done in my life. If I can�t walk down the street, there is a possibility that I would turn into Robert Pattinson, I would regret it. But no one strong armed me into doing this and no one really cares.
M&C - What kinds of cool things have happened to you because of Twilight?
CB - It�s pretty funny. I got to go to Rome for the Twilight Film Festival showing the trailer and couple of us showed up there. I travel around with the movie. My friends haven�t even to Vancouver or even off the island where I live. And I�ve been to Australia, Shanghai, and Rome. I got to be on my favourite TV interview shows.
M&C - What�s it like back home in Victoria, British Columbia for Cameron the Movie Star?
CB - People my age or older have known me a while. They knew I was in movies, but people didn�t care. People who don�t know me I�m not worried about. I can walk around the town. I started when I was six. A lady told my mom I had a modelling face and could do commercials. Who�s gonna say no? I worked and once I started getting older, I got film parts and from then on, and I helped support our family. This is my future. I said I could do this.
M&C - So are you an arts or science guy at school?
CB - Social studies is my favourite subject, and history, especially WW11 history. I�ve got a German Shepard named Rommel!
M&C- It�s nice that you�ve worked steadily but how do you manage school and work?
CB -The education has been the hardest part as with any teenager. It�s the biggest worry on their minds. I�m continuing for two more years, I�m 17 now. Then as far a further education after school, I�m going to study to be an auto mechanic. Think about it. I'm 17 and I've been acting since I was 6, so eleven years. I'm not bragging but I don�t feel like I need to go to school. Why go to school for something I�ve been doing? In my mind I've accomplished it. Where I learn is onset.
M&C- Did you learn a lot from Michael Sheen, the lead Volturi in New Moon?
CB � Oh, yeah for sure. Michael Sheen � He�s crazy! I love him to death. He�s an amazing actor. He�d just get there and start talking. That�s my Michael Sheen, one of the greatest actors out there!
