HIS older brother Xavier Samuel wowed the world as a sexy, night-stalking blood sucker in Twilight: Eclipse. Now Adelaide actor Benedict Samuel is preparing to strut his stuff in a much sunnier on-screen role - as a new Home and Away hunk.
The 22-year-old will play Harman, or "Hammer" to his mates, described as a "big, hard guy with a lot of attitude" who, in a case of art imitating life, plays second fiddle to his brother.
Benedict would have no doubt picked up some industry tips along the way from Xavier, already a Hollywood veteran with five films under his belt since last year's Eclipse, including A Few Best Men with Olivia Newton John.

Ohh, thanks Johnson! When that article comes out, is it possible to get scans please? Adelaide never gets anything good like that!

The interview with Rhiannon actually appeared in The Age on Thursday (July 28). I am sure you can get a copy in the newspaper section of the State Library in Adelaide. I have typed the whole interview and posted it here. Enjoy

Owen Thompson, Drive: What was your first car?
Rhiannon Fish: That would be the one that I have now, which is my Hyundai i30. I got it just after I turned 18 and I've had it ever since. It goes pretty damn good. I am in love with my car. I know it's nothing too special but I can't see any reason for getting another one – not for quite a long time.

What led you down the Hyundai path?
I knoew I wanted a car that was considered pretty safe as my first car and also something that was small. I saw that one and never really looked much further.

What's your ideal car?
I'm a bit of a Mercedes girl. I love Mercedes, especially the ones where you can take the top down. That is my dream car.

What's your pet road peeve?
Oh my god, there are so many things I hate that people do on the roads. OK, these are my No.1s: when someone is on a roundabout and they don't signal, so you wait for them to go past you but they take the first exit instead. And when people are in a lane specifically for turning and they're not actually turning.

Have you ever been invoved in a traffic accident?
I have, actually. A couple of months ago, a taxi stopped in front of me and this crazy woman came speeding around the corner and smashed into me and forced me into the taxi. Thankfully, it was only minor.

What's your favourite driver?
The drive that I get to do almost every week to and from Palm Beach is one of the most beautiful drives I've ever seen. It never gets any less beautiful. It takes your breath away each time.

If you could go on a long road trip with absolutely anyone, who would it be?
I'll tell you who I wouldn't want to go with: my mother. She is the worst passenger in history. She gets very nervous and very controlling.

What's your favourite car-themed movie?
I'm a fan of the original The Fast and the Furious but I have to say that's because I had a bit of a crush on Paul Walker. But I did think the cars were pretty cool, too.

What's your preferred drive music?
I love the radio. I travel pretty early, so I love listening to Kyle and Jackie O (on 2DayFM) in the morning and stuff that keeps me awake. It puts you in a good mood before you get to wherever you're headed.

What do you think about the new girl sascha?
She has some attitude....
I know she had a rough last months, with her mom dying, missing her brother....
But do you have to act that way....

[DeltaFan]

I haven't watched it in over a month, but I do hear Dad playing in the background. Sasha is some crazy biatch. I don't like her. Who died? What happened to Kelly? I haven't kept up...
I stopped watching as it started to bore me. I only started watching it this year
