Peter Facinelli recently admitted that juggling between “Nurse Jackie” and “The Twilight Saga’s Eclipse” brought tears to his eyes. The 36-year-old actor opened up about the matter at the current Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour while promoting the second season of his hit Showtime medical drama series.
When asked whether it is hard to switch gears from portraying Carlisle Cullen to Dr. Fitch Cooper, he recalled the moment he broke down in tears. “I did a scene where I was crying with Akalitus (Anna Deavere Smith) that came out of me just being emotionally exhausted,” he said. “It wasn’t written that I was crying and, all of a sudden, in the middle of the scene, I broke down and started crying.”
“It felt right for the scene. I did takes that I wasn’t crying in, but they felt like, because I was just dumped by Jackie and there was all this heavy emotions going on, it really worked for the scene,” he further explained. “I think it was just me getting off an airplane, having three hours of sleep and just being that vulnerable. It hit me that hard. But, I enjoyed doing both projects, at the same time.”
Question: Does Carlisle have a lot to do in Eclipse?
PETER FACINELLI: Yes, he does a lot. A lot more than the first two films, for sure. You know, what I like about the third movie is that you get to see a side of Carlisle you haven’t seen before. You actually get to see what his vampire capabilities are because there’s some great battle sequences. It’s my favorite book.
When do you hear about Breaking Dawn?
FACINELLI: I don’t know. Usually the fans know before I do, so I’m sure I’ll see it on the internet before I get the phone call.
Is Twitter part of your job now?
FACINELLI: No, I just enjoy what Twitter is because I can really connect with the fans. It’s a great way to share information with them and it’s also a great way to entertain. I like being able to put a smile on people’s faces and I like being able to also mix that up with sharing information with them that’s important, and also letting them know what I’m doing. I’ve had people come to me and say, “Hey, will you tweet this out?” There’s like pay advertisement stuff. I’m not into that. I like to keep my Twitter pure. I don’t want to sell my followers anything. I want to be able to have that fan base so I can tell them what I’m doing and entertain them.
