In 2009, Tyson Connor Houseman made his major motion picture debut in Summit Entertainment's box office smash hit "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" as Jacob Black's best friend. Quil is the last of the Quileute wolf pack to phase, which occurs in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."

and raised in Edmonton, Alberta and always had a passion for acting. He graduated from Victoria School of the Visual and Performing Arts, a high school focused on the performing arts that housed one of the top theater programs in the area. Having participated in high school plays, acting classes, and with the experience of directing a one-man play, Houseman felt ready for the next step. In the fall of 2008, he relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia to pursue his acting dreams and attend Seacoast Studios, a local acting studio, to start honing his craft.

A twist of fate would then change Houseman's life forever. While searching for a job on Craigslist, he found an ad for an open casting call for a major motion picture about to start production. The ad called for Native American actors between the ages of 15-25, and he decided to go down and give it a shot, having never auditioned for a role in a feature film before. The competition for a role in the blockbuster film series was fierce, and Houseman was determined to land the once in a lifetime opportunity. Once cast, the physically challenging role of a wolf required Houseman to work out 6 days a week, teaching him about passion and dedication.

The young actor is also an avid musician and self proclaimed "music fanatic." His favorite book is "The Catcher in the Rye," and his favorite musician is Chad VanGaalen. In his free time, he enjoys playing the guitar, snowboarding, long-boarding, and reading - primarily books about philosophy, which he hopes to apply to a University education.

Houseman is a Native American Indian of First Nation Descendant of the Cree Nation and currently lives in Vancouver, but returns to Edmonton often to spend time with his parents and three younger brothers.
