Video: Peter Facinelli on a 'Nurse Jackie' crisis and a scary, intense 'Eclipse'

peter-facinelliImage Credit: Phil Caruso/Showtime; Kimberley FrenchI have a confession to make: My knowledge of the Twilight franchise could fit on the head of a pin. Never read the books. Haven’t seen the movies. Don’t belong to any “team.” But I defy you to detect even a hint of my Twignorance in the following interview with Peter Facinelli, who plays good vamp Carlisle. How’d I do it? It’s called acting, kids. And I’m good at it. I also consulted my pal Mr. Google, as well as EW’s resident Twixpert, Nicole Sperling. What do you care anyway? All that’s important is that I got the goods, not how I got them. And as you’ll see in the two-part Q&A, I did get the goods, on Eclipse (Carlisle overload!), Breaking Dawn (Gus Van Sant for director?), and Facinelli’s other steady gig — and one I’m a lot more familiar with — Nurse Jackie (crisis for Coop!) Enjoy!

    is it just me or did the caption under his name at the beginning say “Nurse Betty”?????

  • Chris

    Nurse Betty? I thought it was Nurse Jackie.

  • Generation Gossip

    He’s such a cutie. Jennie Garth is a lucky woman.

    Great interview. I love him as Carlise, I wasnt sure I would but he does an amazing job. He diffently is better looking as a brunette.

    • Andrea

      i agree, he definitely looks better as a brunette, but i REALLY wish they’d style his hair differently, it’s just weird, like a helmet… but he does a great job as the character!

    He’s such a cutie. Jennie Garth is a lucky woman.

    Why did you (Ausiello) even bother to inform the readers that you know NOTHING about Twilight? If you’re so great at acting as you say, you shouldn’t have even mentioned it. Then we as the readers wouldn’t have been able to notice that you didn’t know what you were talking about.

    • Orla

      wow back up its just a post on a spoiler site no need to get touchy. . .

  • Brie

    Still a cutie, but Facinelli will always be “Mike Dexter” to me.

    • Sarah

      Mike Dexter is a role model.

      • Katyo

        Mike Dexter is a god!

        Brie – I totally agree. The first time I watched Twilight and he came onscreen I laughed my arse off.

      • CMU

        “Mike Dexter is an a** hole!” Lol. I love that movie so much.

    • Michele

      Hahaha – I yelled that in the theater when I saw Twilight! He’ll never be anyone else….

  • Big D

    I’m glad you (Ausiello)confessed your Twiignorance. I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one. Nurse Jackie is great.

  • Tigerlily

    Wow! I watch both and would never ever had pegged him for the same actor! Much better looking as Coop. And I thought the vamps were supposed to gorgeous.

  • Sarah

    why does it look like both jackie and coop have too much make up on!? so much foundation!

  • Tany

    Loved Peter since “Fastlane”!

  • Rebekah

    Ooooh. He is so pretty. That is all.

  • whiskey

    Love, LOVE Nurse Jackie. Coop is one of the best parts of the show.

  • Andrea

    i like how he talks about Twilight/carlisle’s character so elegantly. he talks about the actual character/story lines instead of the craziness surrounding the saga. very cool on his part.

  • Mikeisahunk

    Coop and Zoe are my favorites! Jackie needs to get busted soon and get some comeuppance.
