Facinelli Talks Twilight: Eclipse

With all the Team Edward / Team Jacob fuss, a few easy-on-the eye cast members of the Twilight franchise are often overlooked.

In our humble opinion, Peter Facinelli, aka the gentle and adorable vampire daddy Carlisle Cullen, is one of those who are woefully short on screen time.


Thankfully, the actor says that we're set to see Carlisle come into his own in Eclipse.


"What I love about the third movie is that you get to see a side of Carlisle you haven't seen before and what his vampire capabilities really are," Peter revealed at a recent press conference. "There are some really great battle sequences. It's my favorite book."

The actor went on to explain his approach when it comes to his character: "Because Carlisle has been around for so long, I think that he's very well educated and what I love about him is he has a real love for humanity. I'm playing a vampire who is trying to be human.

"When you look at something like Twilight, the good vampires aren't necessarily good, they're just eccentric. The bad vampires are just doing what they're born to do and made to do. It's kind of like domesticating a lion. For me, Carlisle is just holding on to that humanity. He doesn't want to be a vampire."

Strength, speed and supernatural good looks? We'd swap places with him anytime.
