As Seth Clearwater, Booboo Stewart plays a small but important role in the Twilight universe; more than merely a disciple of Jacob’s, his character represents a change – an evolution of thinking – in the timeless conflict between vampires and werewolves.
In Breaking Dawn – Part 2, Seth joins Jacob to form an unconventional alliance with the Cullens against the Volturi in a battle that’s been brewing since the original Twilight. And looking back at the franchise, the Stewart says that he was especially excited to work on the final film since it brings the journey full circle.
“The films really come together,” he told Celebuzz. “This one brings them all together and wraps up the whole storyline. I feel really proud of it – and when I was reading the script, I was like, ‘this is going to be great’.”
That said, Stewart admitted that he actually didn’t do a whole lot in Part 2, thanks to some CGI trickery that allowed his wolf counterpart to do his fighting for him.
“My character’s a wolf and I don’t have to do anything,” he said with a laugh. “I didn’t have to do any fighting luckily – actually unfortunately, because I would have really loved to do that. But when I was there filming, I would see some of the others, and it just looked so great.”
With the series wrapping up, Stewart said he’s trying to keep the experience in perspective, and appreciate it for what it is.
“The thing I think is most meaningful to me has just been to take it slow and enjoy things while they’re here,” he said. “To stop and think about things and keep it in your mind – because things only happen once.”
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 opens in theaters nationwide November 15, 2012.
