Jodelle Ferland (born October 9, 1994) is a Canadian actress who will play a "newly turned vampire" in the film Eclipse. This role is presumably for the character Bree, a newborn vampire who gave up attacking the Cullens in Ecipse.
Ferland was born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, the daughter of Valerie Ferland. Her siblings are actress Marisha Ferland and musician Jeremy Ferland.
She made her movie debut at age 4 in the TV-movie Mermaid, for which she received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination, making her the youngest nominee in Emmy history. She has since made guest appearances in several televisions series, including Stargate Atlantis, Dark Angel, Stargate SG-1, Smallville and Supernatural, and has appeared in films including They and Trapped. In 2005, she starred in the Terry Gilliam drama Tideland, for which she received a Genie Award nomination in the Best Actress category. Later, she appeared in the 2006 film Silent Hill, an adaptation of the well-known video game, and had a supporting role in Good Luck Chuck for Lions Gate Entertainment. In 2006 she filmed the movie Case 39 opposite Renée Zellweger but it has yet to be released. She recently announced that she has been cast as Bree, in the third film of the Twilight series, titled Eclipse.
Jodelle admits that choosing this part was a no-brainer. "Usually I read the script before I take a role, but I haven't read this one," she explained. "It's Twilight, of course I'm going to take it."
