New Moon Erie Connection

Ok, I’ll be honest here. I don’t get the first thing about all this Twilight stuff.

CudmoreThat being said, there is a connection to Erie in the film. Daniel Cudmore, who plays Felix in the film, went to Gannon and played football from 2000-2002.

I’m sure you Twilight-ers know this, but for the rest of us, a big about Felix, from TwilightBlog.net:

Felix is one of the guards of the legendary Volturi. A violent person who is very strict Felix enjoys serving out punishment to people who disobey the Volturi laws. He is one of the members of the guard who attempts to kill Edward Cullen for the crime of exposing the vampire race when Edward believes Bella is lost to him (dead). Edward was found to have not committed but Felix still wishes for Edward’s destruction. Felix is seen as “very big, tall, and thick” much like the size of Emmett Cullen. He has an olive complexion which looks odd combined with his chalky pallor. Short cut hair that is jett completes his physical oddities. Unlike most vampires, especially those in the Volturi, Felix does not have a special ability.

So, while you’re watching the film for the fourth or fifth time this weekend, remember the Erie connection. Guys, Cudmore also played Colossus in X-Men The Last Stand.
