Do ‘Twilight’ fans quote anything to you most often?
“Whose going to want you now?” [Laughs] No, actually, I get asked to say, “Animal attack.”

When you took the role as Carlisle, did you read the whole series?
Well, I read the first book before meeting with Catherine Hardwicke, just to see what it was about. I fell in love with it. When I got the role, I read the second and third book immediately. The fourth book hadn’t come out yet. When it did, I listened to it on audio book. It was like listening to a bedtime story. Not because the book was boring, but because the person’s voice kept lulling me to sleep.

Peter Facinelli: You get to see a side of Carlisle you haven’t seen before. There are some great battle sequences.

ET: Any word on ‘Breaking Dawn’?

Peter Facinelli: I don’t know. Usually, the fans know before we do.

ET: Did you ever think that ‘Twilight’ was going to do so much for your career?

Peter Facinelli: The fan base has been so phenomenal. When you go to an event, people have flown in from other countries just to take a picture with you. That is a loyal fan base that you can’t even imagine having. I am thankful for all of them. That is why I try to give back in connecting with them [on Twitter].

As “New Moon,” the latest installment in the massively successful “Twilight” saga, continues its reign in theaters — it has grossed more than $230 million since its Nov. 20 release — Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen, the patriarch of the Cullen clan, still finds the frenzy a little daunting.
