‘Twilight’ Star Peter Facinelli Open to Appearing in TV Adaptation: ‘Would Be Fun to Revisit’
Charna Flam Even Dr. Carlisle Cullen himself is looking forward to the new “Twilight” TV series. At the Cameron Boyce Foundation Gala on Thursday night in Los Angeles, original franchise star Peter Facinelli revealed that his role as the Cullen patriarch would “be fun to revisit.” Facinelli told Variety he hopes that he can join both the “Twilight” TV series and the “Nurse Jackie” reboot. “I’m a fan first and foremost. But if they call me I’ll be there. If not, I’ll be watching for sure,” he said. “I’m happy to see them coming back.” Facinelli, who played doctors in both shows, affectionately recalled his time on the productions, saying: “I have a lot of love for both and a lot of love for the cast, filmmakers and producers. It’s like a family. ‘Twilight,’ for me, was six years and ‘Nurse Jackie’ was seven, so when you finish those characters, it’s really it’s hard to put them away and move on. But then potentially to have an opportunity to maybe play them again is really cool. If not, I’m happy to tune in and watch. I’ve had my cup runneth over.”
