who plays jacob black's father in twilight
Gil Birmingham Gil Birmingham (born July 13, 1953)[1] is an American actor of Comanche ancestry, best known for his portrayal of Billy Black in The Twilight Saga film series.
Bella Swan Bella, who first appears in Twilight, is a 17-year-old girl, who moves out from her mother's home in Phoenix, Arizona, to live with her father, Charlie Swan, a police chief, in her birthplace of Forks, Washington. There, she is enrolled at Forks High School, where she becomes intrigued by a student, Edward Cullen. When Edward saves her life, he exhibits super-human qualities. Bella learns from her family friend Jacob Black that Quileute legends say the Cullen family are actually vampires.[4] Edward eventually admits to this truth, though his family hunts only animals, not humans, through moral choice.[5] Edward constantly warns Bella against being with him, perceiving her life to be at constant risk if she continues to associate with him, because the scent of her blood is more powerful to him than that of any other human he has ever met. Bella's love and confidence in Edward's restraint is such that his warnings go unheeded, and on an outing with the rest of the Cullen family, she becomes the target of a sadistic vampire, James. With his family's help, Edward is able to save Bella from James' predations, though Edward is still unwilling to change Bella into a vampire himself.[6]
