The Irish Coven

Find out more about who will play The Irish Coven in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

Patrick Brennan cast as Liam in Breaking Dawn

Is the Twilight casting director having a laugh? Just because you're called Patrick doesn't mean you're Irish!

He's actually from LA and the son of Academy Award Nominee Eileen Brennan (sorry I can't help you there)

He's probably best known for his role as Earl in The Black Donnelly's TV show.  He played college basketball and has also starred in theatre shows.

Is it just me or is the non-vegetarian Irish vampire Coven gonna be all singing all dancing?!

Lisa Howard cast as Siobhan in Breaking Dawn

There's approximately 6 million people in Ireland and we're getting American's to play the Irish Coven!

Lisa Howard will play Siobhan, leader of the Irish Coven and Liam's mate in Breaking Dawn.

Carlisle thinks that Siobhan has the ability to manipulate an outcome to her liking but she doesn't think that's true.

Lisa is a Broadway gal, and has been in South Pacific, Les Mis and 9 to 5: The Musical.

She also featured in an episode of Ugly Betty (season 4, episode 5) as a dominatrix!!

There's been a bit of confusion as to which Lisa Howard will be playing Siobhan as there's more than one actress with that name, so I took matters into my own hands and emailed this Lisa to ask if it is her.  She replied with a lovely email saying: 'I'm totally excited to be a part of the film. I got fitted for my vampire eyes! Freaky!' Ah I like Lisa and i'm excited to see her in the movie.

Marlane Barnes cast as Maggie in Breaking Dawn

Ok from what i can see she ain't Irish...

But I'm willing to overlook that because she can literally do everything.

Marlane is mezzo-soprano, can speak Spanish, French and basic sign language, she can pull off an Irish accent (thank god), she can sculpt and cut up a few dance moves. This chick is amazing!

She started off in shoe commercials when she was 4 and has since been in The Tree of Life, iCarly, Harmony Town and Paranoia.

She likes Shakespeare, dancing and her three cats (her website is so informative)

Maggie is a member of the Irish Coven with Siobhan and Liam in Breaking Dawn and she has the ability to determine whether people are lying to her or not.  She totally looks my Maggie in my head so i'm happy with that, but this Irish accent better be good.

And she audtioned for Glee. Watch the video here.
