About Chaske Spencer: Chaske Spencer is a Native American actor.
It's just amazing to do something that's part of a pop culture phenomenon.
I think people should look at learning about Native American history the same as visiting Washington, D.C., and seeing the monuments there. It's all part of the package.
I remember my dad, who coached football, would buy some of his players football shoes when they couldn't afford it.
I have my own production company called Urban Dreams.
I just want to do really good work.
Where I come from, there were traditions with my race and whenever you faced a curve in life, there was always a tradition.
On the film sets of 'New Moon' and 'Eclipse,' I feel safe. It's like you're in the center of the hurricane, but outside is where it starts to get chaotic.
The actors I admire are character actors.
I like working with different directors; it keeps you on your toes.
The acting part is easy; it's the preparing - lifting weights and getting your body in tip-top shape - that's the hard part.
I'm a movie guy - I can get lost in anything.
My face is on bubblegum wrappers now!
A couple of girls I've signed autographs for have just cried or broken out into tears.
I remember hearing stories from my mother and father about their parents and grandparents when they were taken off the reservation, taken to the boarding schools, and pretty much taught to be ashamed of who they were as Native Americans. You can feel...
I went to an all white school where I dealt with racism.
There are some hot girls in Vancouver.
I stay off the Internet.
What I like about New York City is nobody cares. If they do, they don't ever approach. They just give you a 'What's up?' and that's it.
I feel like giving back is in my blood.
It's really surprising that what you put on paper, people will believe.
