Sci Fi Wire has an interview with Christopher Heyerdahl, who plays Marcus in New Moon. He talks about his character and the film.

Over his career, Christopher Heyerdahl has played a Wraith, a demon, Bigfoot and now the centuries-old vampire Marcus, in the cast of the upcoming sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

It’s perhaps one of the highest-profile roles for the versatile Canadian actor, who is known to fans of Syfy’s Sanctuary, Stargate Atlantis and dozens of films and TV shows.

“Well, it’s a little independent film I’m helping out with,” the good-natured Heyerdahl said with a chuckle and tongue firmly in cheek. “This guy, poor old Marcus, is a 3,000-odd-years-old vampire who has spent at least the last 2,000 of it with a broken heart. Really, one of the main reasons to play that character and have anything to do with that series is my niece, who is absolutely obsessed with this series of books. To see how it has had such an effect on the teenage female community throughout the world is amazing.”
