The cast of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn explodes!

Wow, I had no idea there were this many characters in Breaking Dawn. A slew of new cast members have been added to the final two installments of the teen vampire phenomenon, and I recognize approximately 1/3 of them. 

The biggest addition is Lee Pace as Garrett, an American Nomad vampire and longtime friend of Carlisle Cullen(Peter Facinelli). Pace is probably best known for his role on cancelled TV show, Pushing Daisies, but he was damn good opposite Frances McDormand in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.

The rest of the Nomads will be played by Toni Trucks(Barbershop TV series) as Mary; Bill Tangradi as Randall; Erik Odom and Valorie Curry as Peter and Charlotte.

The Amazon coven will be filled by Tracey Heggins as Senna, and Judi Shekoni as Zafrina. There's an Amazon coven? Really?

Omar Metwally(Munich) will play Amun of the Egyptian coven. Andrea Gabriel(Lost) as Kebi;
Rami Malek(Night at the Museum) as Benjamin; Angela Sarafyan as Tia round them out.
 
The Irish coven: Marlane Barnes as Maggia; Lisa Howard as Siobhan; Patrick Brennan as Liam.
 
And pulling up the rear as always, the Romanian coven will be filled by Guri Weinberg as Stefan and The Pacific's Noel Fisher as Vladimir.
