Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is released in the UK and USA on 18th November. FAULT caught up with actress Casey Labow about her role as Kate in the upcoming cult (pun definitely intended) phenomenon.

Read the full interview in FAULT Issue 8 – available now.

 

FAULT: Casey, what a busy year for you; how are you doing?
Casey: I’m doing very good, I’ve been working a lot, and now getting ready for the Breaking Dawn Premieres.

 

FAULT: Can you tell us about your background, have you always known you wanted to get into acting?
Casey: I grew up outside of NYC and Broadway plays were very important to me. Annie and the Phantom of the Opera were a really big influence. I went to theatre school where I immersed myself in the craft and after graduation I hit the ground running with auditions and castings.

 

FAULT: You recently started in the critically acclaimed film Skateland and your co-star Ashley Green is also working with you on Breaking Dawn. What was it like working together again?

Casey: It was great, we didn’t have a ton of scenes together in Skateland, but it was funny because we shot both Skateland and parts of Breaking Dawn in Louisiana. I had to laugh about that, thinking the Gods must want us to be in Louisiana.

FAULT: What was the auditioning process like?

Casey: I asked my agent to get me in on the auditions. It took about 3 1/2 months of reading different material and numerous auditions. The wait was torture and the day I said to myself “I quit, I give up on this,” was the same day they called and said I had got the part of Kate.

 

FAULT: Where did you film Breaking Dawn?

Casey: Most of the movie was filmed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The wedding and exterior scenes were done n Squamish, or as the locals call “Squampton”, B.C [British Colombia]
 
FAULT: What do you think yourself and your role as Kate have in common?
Casey: Strong personalities and we are both game for anything.

 

FAULT: How would you describe Kate is three words.
Casey: Wry, Strong, Adventurous.

 
FAULT: What can fans expect from Breaking Dawn?
Casey: Much more mature subject matter, the characters have grown up and are now dealing with heavy subject matters, such as birth and marriage.
 
FAULT: What is your FAULT?
Casey: Chanel Allure Parfum
