    yes he is great.....i cant wait till new moons comes its gonna be a million time better than twilight
  • mmtz1521
    i want to be his son!
  • yvette
    yeaaah he is perfect for harry!!!!
    too bad he has to die...... ;c
  • Alba
    I pictured Harry a bit younger, but anyway I think that Graham Greene will do it perfect!
  • sazzaa
    he's really good to play the part, i mean I thought harry would be a bit younger but he seems really good for the part

    but what about seth and leah?
    correct me if im wrong (and i could be im just saying what i thought)but doesn't what happens to billy happen because of them both turning wolfy?
  • twihard17
    omg i never realized that harry had a heart attack b/c of seth and leah turning into wolves!!!!! i cant believe i didnt notice that....thts so sad :( but your right...how can they have harry clearwater in it and not his kids...especially if he has a heart attack after seeing his kids turn into werewolves?
  • ASHLEIGH
    where did u find that out because i have come to think that also but i asked around on yahoo and everyone said it was not true so where did u find thst out...it makes perfect sence
  • twihard17
    well i dont know for a fact but it makes perfect sense so i just have a feeling that thats the reason why....something had to have caused the heart attack and since leah was like the first female wolf he probably freaked out or something.....i would really like to figure out if thats why he did have a heart attack though...someone will have to ask stephenie meyer!
  • tweeter76 IAMSWITZERLAND-1/09
    Well, Leah is a bit older than Jacob so I think Harry would be a bit older than Charlie plus Harry is an elder of the tribe.

    Seth and Leah aren't really key characters in New Moon. They are casting to Eclipse after the filming for New Moon is over . . . which is when they'll be cast I'm sure.
  • Starlight
    This is going to bea GREAT movie. I love Graham Greene, he is an excellent actor. The list of actors just keep getting better and better!
  • LeStatOnTwilight
    Graham Greene is perfect for the role!!! Thanks Summit =)
  • Charli
    I think he'll be a good Harry... not that it's big part or anything!
  • hartsafire
    I can't complain on the actor, he is awesome, but honestly why do they need a harry clearwater, i can only think of one scene in the book you actually see him in, and honestly if they take the trouble to cast him then they should cast the rest of the family. Like is said don't get me wrong, love the guy and think he's perfect for the part.
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Ohh right on the spot!! Greene is the perfect Harry... I mean I know it's not a big part or anything of that sort but danggg that guy is amazing and I'm just so super happy that he's gonna be in NM... yay!! Oh and I also think he would have been a great Billy, he looks the part as well =]
  • M
    Good, love Graham, great actor. Seen him in many movies, never disappointed.
  • pale_cold1
    I love whatever Graham Greene does--super actor! Can't wait to see him.
  • he NEEDS to be in this movie!!
  • TwilightLOVER1
    i love how him and ashley have the same last name XD
  • yvette
    hahahahaha yeah maybe they relate.. xd
  • TwilightLOVER1
    lol that would b Kool :p
  • kate4
    I would have pictured him better as old Quil... You know in Eclipse telling some of the old legends, and the Third wife with Billy, but I guess old Quil is older so I'm sure he will be great for Harry... I'm really enjoying the authenticity of the cast... so freaking happy :)
  • Crey
    This movie just got bumped up ANOTHER notch by adding Graham Greene to the mix.
    I CANNOT wait for November!!!
  • emecjacullenblack
    me neither im counting down the days... 169 days as of june 3rd
  • JoMarie
    I'm thrilled about this choice. Graham Greene has been a favorite of mine for a long time.
  • ahbeeLautner
    ok I saw a movie with him in it a while back and was like he has to be in NEW MOON! He is perfect and is a good actor as well so WOO HOO cannot wait till november!!!!!
  • nemesis_CarolinaCullenCoven!nH
    ooh, so sad he has to die...but Yes!! there's mr. clearwater!!
  • KINALuvzWolves
    He's perfect! I dunno why, but I always imagined Harry as being older than Charlie so it works.
  • I admit I wanted Wes Studi or Eric Schweig but Graham Greene was my third choice.

    I adore Graham he is a brilliant actor and will be perfect. He was also in the mini-series Into The West. A lot of our native actors were on that show. Tinsel, Chaske, Graham.
  • TeamSwitzcob (TRotation/Meg)
    Wes Studi would've been great. It's so nice to see so many people on here recognize these actors! I've seen a lot of native american movies, and now I feel I have to watch some over (Into the West) because I don't recall Tinsel, Chaske, etc. I don't know who's left to cast in the Quileutes, but I think Adam Beach would've made a great addition.

    And one of my votes for Sue Clearwater would be Tantoo Cardinal. I really liked her in Dr. Quinn.
  • cutesweetiezzz
    I think he'll do great, but something about him reminds of Billy.
  • Cullengirl
    Okay why Harry and not Sue or Leah and Seth? they were at the spagehtti (sp) party where Sue tells Harry he should eat something green and healthy.
  • Orla
    I didn't really picture harry to look like him but he was great in the Green Mile so I'm happy :D
  • Alice
    i always though that he would be younger and kinda remind us of charlie in a way but ill trust them to make the right choices they know whats best(i guess?)
  • kdwhitley
    this guy is a good actor... i cant wait to see his part!
  • Destined
    I actually could see him playing Quil Sr. too. Because Quil is older in the books.
  • Jess
    Kind of sad he gets killed off so quickly because he is an amazing actor! He's my favourite Native actor.
    I met him while in Stratford - he was in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and was awesome! Awesome guy.
  • Wanda
    augirl75 had it right! That was who I imagined as Billy too!!!!!! I'm glad they brought him in for Harry.
  • Jess
    YES YES YES YES!
  • Spot on... This is actually who I had in my head as Billy..
  • Kim
    Great actor, was amazing in dances with wolves, shame his part isn't bigger though
  • Deejay
    Honestly I have nothing against him and I'm sure he'll do great. But I pictured him to look younger after all HE IS supposed to be Charlie's age and he looks alot older. But I guess we just have to wait and see.
  • lovevampolves
    true
  • Wildflower
    Yay....Graham Greene!
  • ForsakenMoon19
    yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Graham Greene is the best!!!!!!
  • THEY HAVE DONE SOME GOOD PICKING
    HE SEEMS LIKE A GOOD ACTOR AND A GOOD HARRY
    EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM ACT
  • nena
    just how I imagined
  • michno
    Excellent choice...and a top notch actor to boot. Loved him in Thunderheart. This movie is going to be awesome.
  • Tia_jb10 (Team Pants Explode!)
    he is THE PERFECT harry!!!yay!
  • ya i cant wait to see him in action he is most deff the perfect harry
  • Laura
    oh man... this just gets better and better.... graham is amazing!!! I dearly love this actor!!!
  • Claude
    Brilliant choice. Putting such a heavy weight in the role will presumably mean a bigger on screen presence than the book presence. He gets talked about in the book but hardly features. But I guess that is how you adapt a book - turn it visual. ******* Spoiler (can't imagine anyone reading this who wouldn't know the book backwards but jic...Harry's death wouldn't have the same effect uless you see the impact it has with at least a scene with Charlie and Harry being friends, then a hospital scene. Spoiler over *******
    Bravo Summit
  • tweeter76 IAMSWITZERLAND-1/09
    He'll most likely be there while they are hunting for Bella too . . . supporting Charlie. I love this choice for Harry!
  • exactly how i imagined him. :)
  • Jbells

    Now all I have to do is convince my boyfriend to spend the last day of his holiday coming to a midnight screening of New Moon with me....
  • IndiesR
    Yeah! he would have been great as Billy too. :)
  • Jane
    When I was reading the book, I pictured him as Billy. But I'm happy with him being Harry too. Great actor! Totally deserves it! My faith in Chris Weitz grows more every day! New Moon is going to be a million times better than Twilight!
  • Elloo
    WOW he looks really good guys!
    I'm so happy at the moment with all of these actors!
    What we need now is an article that shows the actors' picture, and who they are playing!
