Jackson discusses his first leading man role as Stephen Grace in Dread, and throws in his appreciative feelings towards Twilight and us, fans. 

“As an actor you need someone to watch you and we couldn’t have a better audience.  Our audience is so enamored with these books and characters and it makes it just so much more fun to play.” 

Thanks Jackson, we love you , too.
There are 5 clips in this video, one after the other. Make sure you see them all.
More from the video:

“There’s something about playing darker, like a vampire, or somebody like Stephen who’s just kind of wrapped up in death,” he compared. “With Stephen, it’s the death of his brother, and he’s trying to get over that. With Jasper in ‘Twilight,’ it’s about controlling the urges to feed and trying to establish that humanity. I think that’s what I really love about playing a darker character, finding the humanity. Because we all have dark sides of ourselves, and if we let that control us, then we’re never gonna be happy. It’s about finding the balance.”
