Elizabeth Reaser has been in a lot of stuff — Grey’s Anatomy, The Family Stone — but her most recognizable role now is that of Esme Cullen in Twilight and its upcoming sequels. Now that she’s played Esme in three different movies so far, it’s kind of surprising to hear, in an interview with MTV, that she doesn’t relate to her at all:
I feel like I’m nothing like my character. It’s interesting to me that I get cast as mothers and really maternal, sweet, nice people. … Maybe I have a vulnerability or something; maybe that’s what it is. But other than that, I don’t relate to this type of character. She’s so good and lovely, and it definitely makes me [a better person]. When I’m working, and I’m always trying to see people in their best light, it makes me a more generous person to play Esme, because I don’t feel that. It’s funny, but I think Bryce — who is playing Victoria [in Eclipse], Bryce Dallas Howard— is the nicest, most amazing woman, and I feel like she should play Esme. I feel like she is Esme. She’s so lovely and beautiful and kind and good. I nominate her to play Esme Cullen.
