Wendell Pierce was one of the actors that Summit announced as joining the Breaking Dawn cast, yet never confirmed what role he would play. But in a new interview with New York Magazine’s Vulture blog, Wendell reveals that he’s a human in the film.
You’re in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn later this year. What draws you to teen heartthrob vampire movies?
I never thought I’d get to the point where I’d be one of those actors who says, “I did this for my kids,” but I really did. I have some teenage nieces and a nephew, and they never get to see anything I do. “Yeah, you did The Wire, and I see you in Treme”; and, “Yeah, you guys won the Peabody, that’s nice and that’s cool.” When they found out I was in Twilight, oh my God. “Uncle Wendell’s in Twilight!”What’s your role?
I am actually a human. I’m not a werewolf; I’m not a vampire. I’m a human.
