Peter Facinelli Talks Action In Upcoming Movies

I just can't say enough good things about Peter Facinelli. He is involved with so many good causes (like Alex's Lemonade Stand), is an excellent actor, a great family man, and on and on. :-) Peter sat down with MovieFone to share some thoughts on The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

"I think people should be excited about the action that the second one's going to bring. We still have this love triangle between Rob, Kristen and Taylor that grows in the second one, but as a guy I love to see some action too, and we have a lot more action with the werewolves coming out in full form. That's going to be fun to watch. It's something that when you read the books you can imagine, but when you see it it's a whole other thing.

"'New Moon' is going to have a lot more action than 'Twilight,' which I'm excited about, and then take the action in 'New Moon' and double it in 'Eclipse.' I get to be a part of that action, which is fun because Carlisle is this calm figure. I think the vampire brawls are going to be exciting."

They asked Peter if he portrays Carlisle pretty true to the books:

"As an actor I read the books, then I read them again, then I read them again and then I put them down and read the script, which becomes my main focus," he explained. "So by the time the [first] movie came out I didn't remember what was or wasn't in the books. I just saw the movie as a complete entity in itself. Nothing stuck out in my mind that should have been in the movie."

Peter Tweeted that he is now on his way back to NYC to continue filming season 2 of Nurse Jackie. Did you watch season 1? It is AMAZING. The entire cast is so phenomenal! Follow Peter on Twitter here.

Peter and wife, Jennie Garth are also involved in a charity auction for Project Zambi, along with many other celebrities.

ETA: Fans of the Twilight Saga will be ECSTATIC to learn that the New Moon soundtrack release has pushed up a week - it is now going to be available on FRIDAY! Woot! (October 16)
