America Young Auditions For Role of Emily

America Young as Emily in New Moon

America Young, who has had supporting roles in movies I’ve never heard of such as The Dead Undead, Point of Contact, and Ultimate Weapon, has auditioned for the role of Emily in New Moon, according to a post on the blog of (her?) entertainment lawyer–

Oh!!! And I got to audition for New Moon today! For the role of Emily. The casting director, you fans of the book will be glad to know, has read the books and loves them. And you can tell. His direction was spot on for the character. I loved the books. I would so love to be in the movie!!!

I’ve never heard of America Young, but if this picture is any indication, I think the part-Native American actress could be a good fit for Emily. What do you guys think?

    I would appreciate a more authentic looking native woman to play the part. I think with so many people available, they should have considered someone more appropriate
  • ?
    She is sooooooooooo not emily young. She may look the part but can she do it?
  • AbsurdEnthusiac
    She is beautiful, and she looks Native American.
  • TeamEDWARD#1
    and that girl in the picture ( i forgot her name - to lazy to scroll up and check lol ) honestly looks more hispanic than anything. I'm puertorican I know. lol
  • TeamEDWARD#1
    i kinda always pictured the girl from Pathfinder to play Emily

    Is she Native? It would be great to get some Native Americans that LOOK like Native Americans.

    I also don't think she is pretty enough. I imagined her copper and STUNNING! I think this woman is pretty, I just imagined take your breath away beautiful.
  • mronay
    I so hope you're right!! All of it makes sense and corresponds with what I know. And I agree, she would be a disappointing Emily for me.

    Dude! I'm Native too and spend a lot of time on different Rez's and I don't think she looks all that Native either!

    she should get the part : ) she looks like my vision of emily

    1. She looks way too old. Emily should be young because all the members of the pack are supposed to look older and that would really put an emphasis on their appearances. 2. She is whiter than me and I'm Irish no very authentic, we don't want Emily to be orange now do we? 3. The casting director is a female named Renee Haynes so I don't know what "his direction..." She is talking about there is no he as the casting director. and 4. They didn't hold any auditions in person for the role of Emily...none at all....they were all done through sent in DVD auditions and the deadline was Jan. 30 so for her to audition a week ago in person for a male casting director is 100% false I can guarantee it. Just do some research on Renee Haynes Casting and you will find the information. She is that same lady that cast pocahontas in The New World. It's legite but this Girl is not and she is not Emily cuz that would be dissapointing.

  • 123weare
    I think she is not attractive, she looks older, and is not even fully native. Her acting sucks, i seen the reels. Im sure if i put another picture up of a native lady saying she auditioned for emily, you guys would all say that one was perfect too lol........america young is just lucky to have gotten her name mixed up with the other america. or is she lucky, cuz now there is going to be a lot of people saying shes NOT RIGHT FOR EMILY......no hard feeling AMERICA, stick to your unknown roles

  • I did kinda pictured Jordana Brewster as Emily and Michelle Rodriguez as Leah but I guess Jordana is too old now =[
  • Mrs. Taylor Lautner
    Errr...that quote is from America Ferrera isn't it? I think there may be a bit of confusion with the names...I am sure that it is America Ferrera auditioning for the role of Emily Young, not America Young.
  • And Then There was 1
    Thank goodness SOMEONE said it.

    Ah, everyone loves her. I feel like i'm going to be attacked, but...
    She's not really how I pictured Emily to be.
    She's a little too mature-looking for me, and doesn't look quite enough native.

  • Kind of like what I imagined...
  • sasstwi
    She looks fine.
    I love it when the series uses....i don't want to say unknowns...just, not uber famous people, you know?
    ha, am I making any sense?
  • TwilightMominOH
    Wow! She looks perfect for the role! I hope she becomes Emily!

  • lilxsillygrl
    hmm.. shes pretty but after going to her website and watching some of her reels, i dont think i like her that much..

  • Mistie
    What they quote her as saying is EXACTLY what they quote America Ferrea saying, so I have to wonder if either of it's true.

    She could be a great Emily =). But I've never seen a movie she played in, so I know nothing about her acting skills. I hope that (if they chose her) she'll be able to put it off.
  • Natanna
    she's not what I envisioned for the role of Emiy... I don't think she looks Native enough for the part, especially being opposite Solomon Trimble.

    I honestly still think it's open game for Emily, especially since they're reaching out to get real Native American actors in the spots...... lol, that's why I'm auditioning!
  • mronay

  • TwiHard
    She looks like a perfect emily!
  • BAM6AM88 -- Kristen is love :)
    She looks like emily to me but of course she has to be able to deliver the role.
  • Sophia
    Yeahh, I like her! She seems perfect for the role.
  • She could be a great Emily =). But I've never seen a she played in, so I know nothing about her acting skills. I hope that (if they chose her) she'll be able to put it off.
  • TaylorLautnerLover
    OMG. finally they actually picked someone good. all this time they have kept picking the worst actors for roles of the characters. ive never head of this girl, but she seems like a good emily. i imaged emily to be darker tho
  • Selena
    Yeah, she is a terrible actor. she's very unbelieveable. and annoying.
    and just because she is a tiny bit of a sliver of native american doesn't mean she will instantly fit the part. she needs to have darker skin.. and that true native american look. and she just looks.....

    american.

    I think she would be a great as Emily!

  • IPreferJacob
    OMG OMG! America would be perfect as Emily! I've been watching her career, and besides being beautiful, I think she's incredibly talented. She would be a great choice!
  • BetOnAlice
    I imagined Emiy alot older and with a deeper bronze colored skin easily fixable, I know . America is very beautiful and her rounded warm looks fit the part well, however it takes more than looks if she can't act .
  • mxtina018
    who is she?? sorry im not that familiar of her...
  • jacobbella88
    She sounds good but making her skin more bronze wont hurt. =]
  • kristenISbella
    She looks great for the part and I love her enthusiasm. She seems grateful and excited to even be considered.
  • i think she could be emily....just give her tan and we're good to go!
  • I did kinda pictured Jordana Brewster as Emily and Michelle Rodriguez as Leah but I guess Jordana is too old now =[

  • Newest_Cullen
    america young is really pretty but i dont think she looks young [no pun intended lol] enough to be emily. i alway imagined emily as this lik really pretty young looking 20 but who also had a mature motherly attitude. america just doesnt seem lik that.
    but they could probably make her look younger if they really wanted to. also shes an unknown actress always a plus with me.
  • TwiHard
    She looks like a perfect emily!
