Xavier Samuel: Eclipse is a "Fantastic opportunity"

Adelaide Now has a short new interview with Eclipse actor Xavier Samuel, who will play Riley:

He won the part against established actors including Tom ``Draco'' Felton from the Harry Potter films and Channing Tatum (G. I. Joe)..

"I was up against some truly great actors who I'm privileged to be considered among,'' he said from Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles where he was celebrating last night. "It's a fantastic opportunity.''

Xavier explains he'd put together his audition tape in Sydney just three weeks ago, and flew to LA last Thursday. ``It all happened in less than a month!'' said Xavier, who graduated from the Flinders University Drama Centre in 2005.
