"  We caught up with One Tree Hill hottie, Tyler Hilton at the recent DVD release party for Walk the Line, in which Tyler plays the king, Elvis Presley. Here&amp;#039;s what the 22 year-old La Quinta, California native had to say about his first-ever film role... TEEN: So, how does it feel to be a part of something as big as Walk The Line?  TYLER HILTON: Friends of mine are always saying &amp;quot;How did you fall into an Oscar nominated picture?&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s so funny because I haven&amp;#039;t been in a film before, and I was just like, &amp;quot;This is amazing, being in a film is a great experience.&amp;quot; But I didn&amp;#039;t know if it was going to be a big film and it took so long to [get released] and I was like &amp;quot;Oh, it might not come out.&amp;quot; And then they weren&amp;#039;t really promoting it and then it [gained slow momentum] then people were like, &amp;quot;Hey, you&amp;#039;re in &amp;#039;Walk The Line&amp;#039;!&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s so cool because that&amp;#039;s that big movie that everyone is talking about. I&amp;#039;m in that! It&amp;#039;s very exciting. It&amp;#039;s so strange.   TEEN: Was it intimidating for you to play Elvis?  TH: It was of course, so much so that I didn&amp;#039;t want to do it when they first gave it to me. I&amp;#039;m not Elvis. I&amp;#039;m not an actor. Randomly, I ran into Joaquin Phoenix out one night. I was like, &amp;quot;Hey man, I read your movie, and it&amp;#039;s great. I love it.&amp;quot; He was like, &amp;quot;Hey, you&amp;#039;re Tyler Hilton.&amp;quot; I almost passed out. And he said, &amp;quot;I saw your audition tape, you&amp;#039;ve gotta do it.&amp;quot; He was like, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a great opportunity, you should come down and hang -- it&amp;#039;ll be so much fun.&amp;quot; And I went down there and we all had the greatest time ever and I made such great friends.   TEEN: WOW! Did this all happen before you were on One Tree Hill?  TH: Yeah! I did the movie the summer before I got the One Tree Hill part. They were looking for a musician just for a couple of episodes. So I went, and it turned into this whole thing that I love. I never thought I would get so into a teen drama on The WB. I love that show, I don&amp;#039;t know why. I love the characters. It&amp;#039;s so cool. And they just kept doing it and kept writing more stuff for me to do on the show.   TEEN: So do you think you&amp;#039;ll go back for the end of the season?  THI don&amp;#039;t know. I never thought I would do TV at all, so then to do two seasons on and off is like &amp;quot;How did that happen?&amp;quot; I mean, I say I&amp;#039;m not going to go back because I really want to focus on my album and touring again, but I don&amp;#039;t know! I love Chris Keller and maybe he&amp;#039;ll find a way to come back. The writers said &amp;quot;Anytime you want to come back, we&amp;#039;d love to have Chris Keller back.&amp;quot; I would love to, but I&amp;#039;ve got a day job, I&amp;#039;ve got my music. I&amp;#039;ve got to focus on that. This is all just a hobby -- the acting is just a hobby. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
