The Twilight franchise, a romantic fantasy film series, recently celebrated its twentieth anniversary. Several stars who appeared in the film series had fond memories of working in the films.
Gil Birmingham, who played Billy Black, Jacob Black’s father, has shared his thoughts on the franchise.
In an interview with Peoplehe says he feels fortunate to be part of the franchise because of its significance in pop culture.
“I just think about how lucky I was to be a part of it, because for any project you start, you have no idea how many people or how widespread it could be, and to see a resurgence take place.”
He calls the franchise’s fan base strong. Birmingham provided an example of this.
“I went to a convention about a year ago that I knew nothing about, and there were 1,500 people from all over the world who were just as passionate about it as they were when the films were made.”
Additionally, the actor shares that fans still approached him “all the time.” He also says he’s been in touch with his former castmates.
“I did a conference; Peter Facinelli was there, and Kellan [Lutz] was there. Jackson [Rathbone] was there, Chaske [Spencer]and the Wolfpack,” the 72-year-old concluded.
