Author: TM-admin : Category: Uncategorized
Twilight actor Solomon Trimble, who played Sam Uley in the film, will be joining the Quileute Days celebration put on by the Quileute Nation of La Push, Washington this summer. His visit marks the first of any cast member from the film(s) to La Push.
The event, which takes place between July 17th and July 19th, will be themed “Legends of the Wolf, fact and fiction.”
Says a recent press release for the event, “Solomon Trimble (Mescalero Apache, Lakota) has been a traditional Native American Grass Dancer since the age of 3. Twilight was his cinematic debut. He served as a cultural consultant for a few films by Oregon Public Broadcasting in association with PBS.” Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight saga, once had this to say about Trimble,
“It was pretty amazing. I looked up and did a double take. “Aren’t you…Sam?” I asked. Solomon laughed and agreed that he was. He had a couple of technical werewolf questions for me (ex. “Can werewolves phase underwater?” Answer: Yes) and I tried to control my enthusing. Solomon was super friendly and interesting, and though he looks awesome on film, he’s even more incredible in person. His features are just so stunning!”
Fans in attendance of the event will be offered the opportunity to take photographs with Trimble at First Beach, and the Quileute Tribe welcomes any and all to come and learn more about their rich cultural heritage and history. Says their publicist Jackie Jacobs, “Guests will enjoy a traditional Salmon bake, Quileute arts and crafts, dancing and songs, adult and youth softball tournaments, parade and a fireworks display.” Interested persons should visit their website, or contact their publicist with questions.
