Twilight Tuesdays: Jackson Rathbone On the Vampire Craze

With only 94 days until the opening of Twilight, we're scrambling to get you every factoid about the flick. Luckily, we have Larry Carroll on our side. This week we get up-close-and personal with Jackson Rathbone AKA Jasper, or Jasper Whitlock, or Jasper Cullen. The 23-year-old is not only a rising thespian, but a musician and world traveler.

In describing his character Jasper, he says:

In this movie, Jasper is very angry, and still very reticent about his lifestyle of not eating humans.

Apparently, Jasper is the vampire that walks around in civil war garb. It's refreshing to know that Jackson is as obsessed with Twilight as the fans are. When asked what he thinks the big hoopla over vampires is, he says:

Well, I think everybody wants to be a vampire. I used to want to be a vampire [when I was young]. It'd be great, you know? Run around at night, never die, kill people. It sounds like a great life!

Hmmm. You had us until you said that part. Que piensas?
