Saturday Night Magazine: Alex Meraz, New Moon’s Bad Boy

Saturday Night Magazine has a Q&A with Alex Meraz in their November issue, and they have it up on their site as well.
There must have been some fierce competition for those four new werewolf roles. What was the audition process like and how did you finally land the role of Paul?
It was an intense process. When I received the call for submissions, I had already started working out because I knew it would be physically demanding. After a couple rounds of callbacks, I was lucky enough to land a role.What can you tell us about Paul?
Paul is the “bad boy” of the wolf pack. He comes across as volatile, but I think he’s misunderstood. He is just very proud of being Quilete and is unapologetic about being a protector for his people.Did you and Taylor get at all competitive in terms of shirtless attributes?
First day I met Taylor I overheard him ask Edi Gathegi [who plays Laurent] if I was bigger than him. Edi answered, “He’s just wider”. I teased him about overhearing it and from there we became gym buddies and shared workout tips with each other.Are you prepared for the hoard of female fans you’re about to gain?
Bring it on.

Aww, he and Taylor are gym buddies.
In terms of LOOKS, I’d definitely choose Alex over any other cast member.

“Paul is the “bad boy” of the wolf pack. He comes across as volatile, but I think he’s misunderstood. He is just very proud of being Quilete and is unapologetic about being a protector for his people.”
That’s a refreshing way to describe Paul. Alex seems to understand the complexities of his character quite well, which is reassuring.
