Peter Facinelli, while promoting the release of Loosies, spoke to The Wall Street Journal about his work and his future plans, and one of the subjects to come up during that discussion was the prospect of him directing films in the near future.

Facinelli, of course, has done just about everything else there is to do in the film world – other than perhaps working as a grip or on the lighting crew. He wrote, produced, and starred in Loosies, and he has written other scripts in the past as well.

He also directed the College Humor skit he did with Twilight Saga co-star Nikki Reed last year.

So, sitting in the director’s chair seems like the plausible next time.

I would like to direct in the future. I directed some shorts for College Humor and I have worked with so many directors. I’ve done over 40 films and TV projects so at a certain point I know how to tell a story. The first attempt was writing. Now I’ve taken on being a producer. Next, it’s the final challenge, directing.

Peter Facinelli took some time out of his very busy days to have a live Facebook chat session with fans for the National Parks Foundation. Peter answered a huge variety of questions from Twilight to energy conservation and pretty much everything else under the sun. Check it out below:

What is the best part of being part of the twilight saga??

Peter Facinelli: The fans are really great. They’ve been really supportive and I appreciate all of them.

How are you and carlisle similar and different?

Peter Facinelli: I like to think I have his passion. Carlisle is the head of a family. I have children so I can relate. I don’t have blond hair and he’s an older soul than I am. I also don’t wear cardigan sweaters in real life.

What will you miss most now that you are finishing the Twilight Saga?

Peter Facinelli: I don’t know, I’m not sure because it hasn’t sunk in that’s it’s over yet. Even though filming is pretty much over there are still two more films coming out. What I won’t miss is shooting in the rain and mud!

Love you as Carlisle. What’s the best way to get started doing stuff outdoors on a tight budget?

Peter Facinelli: The national parks are a great place to start – they’re not that expensive. We own the parks because we pay taxes and the parks are right in our backyard. I would go visit a national park and explore. Borrow a tent if you have to. It a lot of fun. This week it’s free to visit a national park because it’s National Park Week!

What is one of the funniest things that has happened on set of one of the Twilight movies?

Peter Facinelli: We were shooting a big stand-off sequence between the Volturi’s and the Cullen’s and it was a crazy experience because we had 100 people going through hair and makeup in the morning. One of the actors thought it would be funny if we had a dance off. We didn’t tell the director and when they yelled action we broke out in dance. It could end up on the DVD extras.

Last year Forbes put together a list of the 15 wealthiest fictional characters and of course Carlisle Cullen not only made the list, but topped the list. Well Forbes is back with their fictional wealthiest list for 2011, only this year, poor Carlisle has slid down to 2nd place. Read more below:

Carlisle Cullen – $36.2 Billion

Profile:

Immortal vampire, small town doctor and value investor said to be a huge fan of getrichslowly.org, a penny-pinching personal finance blog that extols the extraordinary power of compound interest. It’s worked for Cullen: The fresh-faced 370-year-old undead monster amassed one of the largest fictional fortunes largely simply by banking a small amount of capital in 1670, and letting the interest accrue. Early investor in Wal-Mart, Google thanks to prescient advice from adoptive daughter Alice, who can see into the future. Featured in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight novels and films.

Fast Facts:

• Holds significant stake in blood reagent manufacturer Immucor (NASDAQ: BLUD)
• Once was investigated by the FDA for peddling facial cream that claimed to make “your skin sparkle”

And Peter’s response to Carlisle dropping to #2 on the “Fictional 15″?

I would’ve been #1 but I had to throw a very expensive wedding this year. Damn it Scrooge, I’m just a doctor.
