Peter talks Twilight, Nurse Jackie, Loosies, Mike Dexter, Fastlane to NYPost


Peter's interview with @NewYorkPost  / PopWrap

PopWrap: When you found out that Coop's moms were splitting up, what did you think?
Peter Facinelli: As an actor, I thought it was pretty genius. As Coop, I found it devastating [laughs]. Any time his moms are on the show, I just have so much fun, so I was glad they brought them back, but it’s such a blow for Coop. It sends him into a tailspin. His moms are his world so Coop starts to scramble when that shatters and goes into this funk for a while.
PW: I loved everyone's reaction to the news -- "aaand there goes the chin." 
Peter: Yea, in typical Coop fashion he’s a 12-year-old trapped in a man’s body, so obviously he doesn’t handle this news well.
PW: It doesn't really seem like Coop is having a good run in "Nurse Jackie"-land lately.
Peter: Well, last season was fun because we built Coop up and then clipped his wings. This season it happens again, but to a larger degree with his world crumbling around him. What’s great is seeing him totally unaware as to why these things are happening to him, Coop thinks he’s a good guy, so when you put the character in situations like that, it’s great seeing how he reacts. For me, it was a chance to see another side of Coop because he’s so happy go lucky all the time. To play him in a funk and be depressed, was kind of depressing for me as an actor.
PW: Right, I'd imagine doing episodic television really allows a character's feelings to permeate your own.
Peter: For sure. There is a resonance there. I remember shooting these next few episodes feeling totally blue because you’re walking around living that – it sticks with you. This season was kind of depressing for me.
PW: What was exciting about it for you?
Peter: It’s fun when I get to work with the ensemble. I got to share some scenes with Stephen [Wallem, who plays Thor] and also Eve [Best, who plays Dr. O’Hara]. I don’t really get to do much with them, so I loved that about this season. There have also been a few times almost all the characters are in the same room at the same time finding out the same information – you get to watch them dealing with it in their own world.
PW: Right, like meeting Jackie's husband.
Peter: Precisely. For Coop, that was kind of an enlightenment moment because he now "knows" why Jackie rejected him. Finally an explanation that makes total sense. It’s like he was let off the hook.
PW: The show has never been better so I kind of feel like a fourth season is a foregone conclusion -- what would you like to see for him next year?
Peter: I’ve been wanting Coop to grow a mustache for three seasons – I’m hoping we can get that in season four. He’s such a man-boy. This season is kind of about him trying to grow up in all the wrong ways, so to start off season four with a mustache would be pretty funny.
PW: I don't know if I've ever seen you, Peter Facinelli, with one -- is it a good look?
Peter: I don’t know, I’ve never grown one either – that’s part of the appeal [laughs].
PW: You also have "Loosies," a movie you wrote/directed/starred, coming up -- is it the biggest passion project of your career?
Peter: Blood, sweat, tears and then some. I wrote it in three weeks, but it’s taken me six years to get it made. I’m quite happy with the cut and it’s a score to get Paul McDonald on the soundtrack. As an actor, you come in do your part and hope that it’s put together right. But when you’re producing something you’re written, you get to follow it all the way through, I liked having that kind of say. I’m quite proud of it, I hope people like it.

PW: It's got to be more anxiety producing though given how invested you are in it.
Peter: It’s definitely more anxiety producing than just starring, but as much energy as I put into it, I get so much more out of it. There is an anxiety of, “I hope people like it” but I’m proud of it and that’s kind of all I can hope for.
PW: With "Nurse Jackie" and the "Twilight" films raising your profile are you finding that the fanbase is changing as well?
Peter: What’s fun for me is that fans are now going back and discovering my older work. To see the different things I’ve done. It’s opened up the door for them to enjoy the eclectic performances I’ve put together over the years.
PW: So, Mike Dexter lives on?
Peter: [laughs] He definitely lives on. Actually I was at the supermarket and some guy came up to me and said, “you’re in movies, right? What movie are you in?” I said,” Um, ‘Twilight?’” and he goes, “No … ‘Can’t Hardly Wait!’ You’re Mike Dexter!” [laughs] I loved that. So Mike definitely lives on and it’s such a compliment to have done a character 12 years ago that’s still etched in people’s minds. To me that means I did a good job.
PW: Would you like the chance to go back and revisit a character you've previously played to bring the second part of their story to life?
Peter: I feel like everything I’ve done has been complete. Well, “Fastlane” went out on a cliffhanger, that was a really fun character for me. I always thought it would be cool to do a movie. Everything else has been pretty complete. Well ... there is 300 years of history to Carlisle Cullen before he even started this family. There’s a lot to that character, it could be fun to explore that.

Peter talks Nurse Jackie and Breaking Dawn to Entertainment Weekly



Peter Facinelli sounded a little exhausted when EW chatted with him on the phone last week — as he well should be. The actor has been flying to and from the set of Breaking Dawn in Vancouver, where the cast is filming “second unit” scenes (like stunts). What gives him an energy boost? Talking about what’s next for Coop on Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, following a big, life-changing moment for the doc on tonight’s episode. He explains (SPOILERS ahead):
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So I hear something big is coming up for Coop this week. What can you tell us?
PETER FACINELLI: A bomb gets exploded in Coop’s life. He finds out that his two moms — who are basically his whole world — are getting a divorce. He gets blindsided by it, because he doesn’t see it coming at all. You know, Coop doesn’t take it well, and it spirals into a depression. It’s kind of sad for me to play that because Coop’s so energetic and hyper all the time. To have to play him in a funk it kind of sad.  
Yeah. I was really sad when I pre-screened tonight’s episode and saw him in tears.
Awww.
…but then I started laughing when his reaction progressed.
Yeah, people always say, “Do you play things for laughs?” And I’m like, “No, the more dramatic I play things, the funnier he is.” [Laughs]
There’s a scene where he seeks comfort with Jackie tonight, and another right after his parents break the news. How did you keep a straight face?
I play everything for real. I’m being tortured in this scene and everyone is laughing at me. I go to dark places for Coop and everyone laughs. For me, he’s a very sympathetic character. A lot of people are like, “Oh, you play the jerk on Nurse Jackie.” But I don’t see him that way. I see him as someone who’s broken, and he’s someone who doesn’t mean any harm at all. So, for me, he’s very sympathetic. He’s not meant to be mean, but it comes across that way. He’s kind of oblivious.
How does this news affect him?
There are a couple of episodes where it’s a whole different Coop. And it stays with me, too. I remember doing a couple of episodes, and I’d feel really blue all the time.
How Method of you.
Sometimes you play things, and they resonate with you. That stuck with me.
So does Coop come back from this depression?
I don’t know how much I want to give away, but he turns to finding love in his own life instead of having the love of his parents. It no longer feels like he has that support system, so he buckles down and finds a family of his own to replace the one he doesn’t have anymore.
Do the rest of the staff/his friends help him along at all?
I think they know it’s Coop, and they let him go through his thing. He reaches out to everyone for hugs, but he’s not getting any. [Laughs]
Switching gears: Breaking Dawn. I know you’re on set, how does it feel winding it down?
It’s been a whirlwind. We’ve been filming for six months. You take it day by day. I feel good about what we’ve shot. Now it’s up to the editor, and I hope it all comes out well. At the end of the day, it’s hard because you don’t have control over how it’s put together. But I’ve seen some put together, and it looks pretty good. I’m excited to see the finished product.
Anything you can tease to us about it? I hear the wedding scene is grand.
The wedding scene, first of all, was really beautiful. The way the set was decorated, the way they lit it. It’s in the backyard of the Cullen house, and they utilized the space really well. For us as actors, it was hard because it was raining the whole time we shot, but you’ll never see it on film. For us, it was raining and muddy, but on film, it will look beautiful. In the baseball sequence [from the first movie], it rained the whole time, but you can’t tell.
How did you magically stay dry?
It’s very difficult. I remember the first day [on the first film], we were in the midst of shooting, and they said [to the director Catherine Hardwicke], ‘”What do you want to do Catherine?” So they started passing out baseball hats to anyone whose hair looked too wet. It was movie magic; you never see it. It has to rain really hard for it to read on film.
Give me a visual tease of the wedding, for the wedding geeks, like yours truly.
It looks very magical. It was a real treat to be able to watch the two of them get married. It was a longtime coming, this wedding. It didn’t disappoint me when we shot it, so I think it will be magical.

Thanks Showtime !

Peter's interview with The Futon Critic




Jim Halterman: Going back to the beginning of the show, can you talk about bringing Coop to life? Was it all on the page or did you have a hand in shaping who he is?
Peter Facinelli: A little of both. I remember when I read the script I thought it was great and I sat down with the writers because I wasn't really sure we were all on the same page. The tone of the show I hadn't seen before so I went in and read with the writers, who were friends of mine, just to make sure I was doing it the way they wanted and they said 'That's perfect!' It was a little tricky and I think we could've gone a lot of different ways with that role. For me, Coop is like this 12-year old trapped in a man's body. I always feel like he's a sympathetic character and not a character who is mean-spirited but he just doesn't have a filter. What he really wants is for everyone to like him and he's kind of like a dog in a room full of people running around and jumping up all the time.

JH: I love the irony that Coop isn't always the luckiest with women yet he has two moms. How was working with Swoosie Kurtz and Judith Light as your two moms?
PF: I always love working with them. Judith Light replaced Blythe Danner and knocked it out of the ballpark. Blythe was actually off shooting a movie and wasn't available. I love Coop's moms and hope there's more storylines with them. This week, they kind of drop a bomb on him that they're getting a divorce and that blindsides him and spirals him into a depression. It's the best part of me to play because Coop is always so happy and energetic and now he's in a funk.

JH: In that scene before they tell you, you see just how much Coop is like a 12-year old as he takes pictures of everything and just cannot sit still.
PF: He's inept a little bit and he doesn't really handle things in an adult fashion.

JH: You usually shoot on a stage so it must've been a nice change to get out and shoot in Central Park.
PF: Yeah, I was really happy to shoot there. It's a beautiful set piece in New York and a lot of people don't know about that place so it was fun to explore. Anytime we get out of the hospital is a real treat since most of the stuff I do is the interior of the hospital.

JH: To what extent will we see Coop spiral into the depression you mentioned?
PF: It goes on for a little bit and I guess Coop's arc this year is trying to grow up but he tries to grow up for all the wrong reasons. For him, one of the ways he decides to grow up and take responsibility for his own happiness is to start a family of his own. In Coop fashion he decides to get married and have his own family to replace the family that is broken in his life. And, of course, he decides to get married, like, tomorrow. Just find a girl and get married tomorrow.

JH: All that said, do you think Coop is capable of having a healthy relationship?
PF: I don't know. I mean, his relationships with women so far have not been so great but he has been with a lot of women and he can be quite the suave player.

JH: I think we all know someone in our lives like Coop who maybe isn't the most self-aware. Do you have someone like that?
PF: I don't know that I have someone like that in my life but what's fun about playing him is that he kind of lives in his own world and doesn't realize that everybody around him doesn't really get him. He thinks that everyone at work is his best friend and they're not. That's part of the fun to play is that obliviousness that makes him such a sympathetic character.

JH: Peter, you've worked on several network series but how is the freedom of being on a cable show?
PF: There definitely is a freedom there and I definitely can feel it and it's a luxury. I'm very happy to be a part of that and do work that allows you to not have to try to satisfy the desires of [advertisers] but service the audience.

JH: You do a lot of comedy in 'Nurse Jackie' but you've also done darker dramas like 'Damages' or even the 'Twilight' movies. Is there a major switch you have to flip to get into those more dramatic roles?
PF: They're different muscles but I enjoy being able to explore the different muscles. For me, I like being able to go and do something dramatic and then the next project do something completely different. If I had to do three dramatic roles in a row I'd get bored pretty quick. I'm happy right now because I have something where I can do more comedy but even on 'Nurse Jackie' the more dramatic I am on that show the more Coop is funny. I don't try to play things for laughs but I just play them as real as can be. In some scenes I'll go and break down and cry and it's hysterical.

JH: When can we see your wife, Jennie Garth, guest on 'Nurse Jackie?' That would be great to see.
PF: I don't know. We've always kept our stuff separate; she does her thing and I do my thing. It might be fun to do something but I'd never really thought about it and she's never really asked.

Peter talks Nurse Jackie to givememyremote.com


If you’ve been watching NURSE JACKIE since its glorious first season, you know that the well-meaning but often dim-witted Dr. Cooper has two pretty interesting moms.
Blythe Danner and Swoosie Kurtz played the committed lesbian couple that raised Coop and, on this Monday’s NURSE JACKIE, his mommies return — to announce their imminent divorce.
Unfortunately, Danner was busy doing another project during the filming of this episode, so her role had to be recast. Luckily, Judith Light was able to step in.
GIVE ME MY REMOTE spoke with Dr. Cooper himself, Mr. Peter Facinelli, about the storyline…
So, Coop’s moms are back!
Peter Facinelli: Yes. Whenever I get to interact with my moms on the show, it’s fun. I’m glad they brought them back this season. Blythe was unavailable at the time, but Judith filled in and really knocked it out of the ballpark. She was great.
Sadly, however, they return with the news that they’re splitting up. How does Coop take it?
PF: Coop doesn’t take it very well. You know, Coop is like a man boy — I always kind of think of him as a 5-year-old trapped in a man’s body. And in true Coop fashion, he deals with it in a bit of a kid-like way, and it sort of spirals him into a depression — which, for me as an actor, was kind of hard to watch him go through that. He’s so happy-go-lucky all the time and now he’s in like a catatonic funk. In these next couple episodes, he’s really depressed and that started to depress me too.
Aww. How long will this last?
PF: It goes on for awhile. Until he finds a way to climb out of that hole. In Coop’s mind, the best way to overcome his broken family is to start a family of his own and so he goes in search of a wife. I mean, he wants to get married tomorrow.
Well, we know that Jackie’s out of contention.
PF: Yeah, he’s had to move past her. She’s kind of rejected him and when he found out she was married, it kind of let him off the hook. In his world, it’s like, that makes perfect sense. He thinks, that’s why I was rejected!
Can you tell us anything about the lucky lady that he does end up courting? Is it someone we already know or a new character?
PF: It’s a new character that’s coming in. He uses his social media tools in order to find the best prospects for him. He thinks facebook will help him find his perfect wife.
Yikes. A disaster waiting to happen?
PF: Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out. But, yeah, that’s his arc this season. He gets the rug pulled out from underneath him, he falls into a depression and then he climbs out of it by trying to find a family of his own and, in his way, that’s him trying to grow up. But he’s maybe growing up in all the wrong ways.

Peter talks Breaking Dawn, Nurse Jackie & more in web chat with fans

Peter Facinelli took part in a live web chat with fans on 20th April. He discussed Breaking Dawn, Nurse Jackie, Accidentally In Love and more.



12:36
Energizer Bunny: 
Hi everyone, we'll be getting started shortly at 1 p.m. EST.
12:59
Energizer Bunny: 
Just back from the Grand Canyon, Peter Facinelli, Twilight Saga and Nurse Jackie star, is excited to chat with all of you! Long before you knew him as a vampire, Peter was an outdoor enthusiast. As a devoted husband and father of three – and a proud RV owner – Peter enjoys spending time in the great outdoors with his family. Now he’s teaming up with Energizer to help preserve America’s national parks for future generations. Now, on to the questions!
1:01
Comment From Calista 
What is the best part of being part of the twilight saga??
1:02
Peter Facinelli: 
The fans are really great. They've been really supportive and I appreciate all of them.
1:03
Energizer Bunny: 
Question from Emory from Facebook: What experiences made you enjoy and appreciate the outdoors so much? Thanks for helping preserve the National Parks!
1:03
Peter Facinelli: 
When I was younger my dad had a cabin in the woods and we would go there during the summer. It was about 20 acres of woods and I would go exploring. I became exposed to the outdoors at a young age and I try to expose my family to that as well.
1:04
Comment From Kimberly 
how are you and carlisle similar and different?
1:05
Peter Facinelli: 
I like to think I have his passion. Carlisle is the head of a family. I have children so I can relate. I don't have blond hair and he's an older soul than I am. I also don't wear cardigan sweaters in real life.
1:05
Energizer Bunny: 
Question from Vicki from Facebook: Hi Peter, greetings from Oregon. I would like to know what your funniest camping experience has been.
1:07
Peter Facinelli: 
Well I have a few. I got pulled over doing 90 mph in a motor home once. The police officer was very upset with me. When he knocked on the door it was like he was knocking on our house door. He had apparently been following for 5 miles and nearly called in helicopter support. I didn't have a rearview mirror and couldn't see him! Another time, the whole muffler dropped off the RV and sparks were flying. I tried to tie it up with a bungie cord, but that didn't work for long.
1:08
Comment From Melissa 
How did you first get discovered on your acting talent? Cause I want to be a actress myself. Do you have any tips for mr?
1:10
Peter Facinelli: 
I went to NYU and studied theater there. My second job was a little indie film, but my first big role was on Law & Order and Dick Wolf noticed me. Then he offered me another job and I continued to work rather than going back to school. I'm about 15 credits short from graduating NYU. Dick Wolf is the reason I don't have a diploma, but he's also the reason I have my SAG card. The best tip I can give is to act anywhere you can, whether it's a local play or independent film and keep working at it! It's an art form and life-long dedication.
1:11
Energizer Bunny: 
Question from Sheila from Facebook - I loved your character Carlisle! I am extremely happy to hear you are an outdoor enthusiast. My husband and I bought our first camper 3 yrs ago. Where is your favorite place to camp? How is Energizer helping to preserve our parks?
1:14
Peter Facinelli: 
My favorite place to camp is going anywhere in my RV. I like not knowing exactly where I'm going. I like the freedom of taking a journey. There's over 300 national parks in the U.S. and that experience and surprise of visiting a park is part of the beauty of it. Energizer is helping to support the parks through clean up events and donations to the National Park Foundation which can bee redeemed by buying specially marked packs. You can text BUNNY to 27722 to donate a $1 to the foundation.
1:14
Comment From Onix 
What will you miss most now that you are finishing the Twilight Saga?
1:15
Peter Facinelli: 
I don't know, I'm not sure because it hasn't sunk in that's it's over yet. Even though filming is pretty much over there are still two more films coming out. What I won't miss is shooting in the rain and mud!
1:15
Energizer Bunny: 
Question from Kristen from Facebook - How do you deal with all the pressure from the fans and the paparazzi? You do an amazing job as Carlisle in the Twilight saga.
1:17
Peter Facinelli: 
It's really about making a connection with fans and I'm happy to stop and give autographs. It's hard though because there are times we can't stop. One time it was pouring rain and a girl was calling to us and we just had to keep going. That was the one time we didn't stop and the paparazzi ran with it calling us jerks!
1:17
Comment From Jessi 
What is the hardest part about being such a successful actor?
1:18
Peter Facinelli: 
Not being to spend as much time with my family. I'm always traveling and I wish I had more time to spend with them. I try to go home as often as I can. Sometimes I'll fly home just to have dinner with the kids and go back.
1:19
Energizer Bunny: 
Question from Angela from Facebook - Hi! I'm a big fan as well, from the Twilight saga, to Nurse jackie, I was even hoping you would get the lead in "something borrowed"...I am also a HUGE fan of your wife, since the good ole 90210 days and then "what I like about you"...to all her other movie roles...and of course DWTS!..my question is then- Have you been asked to do dancing with the stars yet, and would you consider doing DWTS...and 2 (if Ok)- Have you and Jenny made any movies together or would you guys? ♥ you both!
1:20
Peter Facinelli: 
No I have not been asked to be on Dancing with the Stars, I'm more of a freestyle dancer anyways - my moves can't be contained! My wife and I met on a TV movie back in 1995. We haven't worked together since, but I did write a Hallmark Channel special that my wife starred in. It was called Accidentally in Love.
1:21
Comment From Sally 
Is there an actor/director you would really like to work with?

1:22
Peter Facinelli: 
You know, the reason I got into acting was because of a movie called Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I would love to work with Robert Redford and would have loved to work with Paul Newman. I also love Sean Penn.
1:22
Energizer Bunny: 
Question from Cindy from Facebook - Love you as Carlisle. What’s the best way to get started doing stuff outdoors on a tight budget?
1:23
Peter Facinelli: 
The national parks are a great place to start - they're not that expensive. We own the parks because we pay taxes and the parks are right in our backyard. I would go visit a national park and explore. Borrow a tent if you have to. It a lot of fun. This week it's free to visit a national park because it's National Park Week!
1:24
Comment From Kelsie 
what is one thing you have always wanted to do but have yet to do it?
1:25
Peter Facinelli: 
I'd like to direct. I've never had the opportunity but it's a goal of mine in the future. I also haven't had the opportunity to go camping with my new RV solar panel, which I'm excited to do. I also have never done speedo modeling.
1:26
Comment From Mylinda 
What has been your favorite role that you have portrayed so far?
1:27
Peter Facinelli: 
My favorite role would be the role of a father. In acting terms, it's hard to say because each of my films have been so different and I've enjoyed all my characters. It's like asking to choose a favorite kid. They're all special in different ways.
1:27
Comment From Lisa 
Coop vs. Carlisle, who wins the fight?
1:28
Peter Facinelli: 
I would have to go with Coop. I'll tell you why - because at some point Carlisle would be so frustrated with Coop he would try to kill him, but he would end up making Coop immortal. So he would have to deal with him forever.
1:28
Energizer Bunny: 
Question from Amanda from Facebook - Hi Peter! Absolutely LOVE your work! Huge fan of Twilight. Anywho, I know this may be a loaded question but who is/was your favorite person to work with on Twilight? Keep up the good work with everything, movies, shows, and causes all included. :D
1:30
Peter Facinelli: 
I actually like the scenes where we were all together. The energy in the room was great and it felt complete. I only had individual scenes with Kristen, Rob and Elizabeth. I really enjoyed them all.
1:30
Comment From Petter Fan! 
Do your kids watch Twilight and are they team edward or team jacob?

Comment From Rabia 
Are you, yourself Team Edward or Team Jacob?
1:32
Peter Facinelli: 
Interesting you would ask. One of my daughters Luca is here now! She says "Twilight is awesome". Fiona, my 4-year-old, said the other day "I want to watch Twilight again." She likes the scary parts. My middle daughter Lola goes to sleep in Carlisle shirts. All my daughters are with Team Carlisle!
1:33
Peter Facinelli: 
I'm team family
1:33
Energizer Bunny: 
Question from Emily from Facebook - which hair color you prefer, brown or blonde? We're all so excited for Loosies, could you tell us when it's going to come out?
1:35
Peter Facinelli: 
I don't really have a hair color preference. I enjoy being able to swap hair colors in my roles. The blond hair for Carlisle was cool and physically different than anything I'd played before. I'm very much excited for Loosies. I wrote, produced and starred in it. It's been a tedious process, but very rewarding. I had a lot of say but it was also very collaborative. I'm very happy with where it's at right now and I hope people like it!
1:35
Comment From Marie 
Why do you choose RV camping, rather than tent camping?
1:36
Peter Facinelli: 
I like the outdoors, but not that much, haha. The amenities and comforts from home are nice to have while still camping responsibly.
1:37
Peter Facinelli: 
I also grew up in the city and like to take the city with me when I go camping.
1:37
Comment From PFach 
What was the most craziest fan experience you ever had?
1:38
Peter Facinelli: 
We had some people show up at my house. I wasn't home and they were asking for me. My wife sent my daughter out there to talk to them and they wanted to take a picture with her! I'm glad I wasn't home.
1:38
Comment From Tori 
Do you think your kids will get into acting?
1:39
Peter Facinelli: 
I don't know. Whatever makes them happy is what I will support. They're not pursuing it right now. My 13-year-old is actually a very strong songwriter/singer and play guitar. I want them to pursue their passions.
1:39
Comment From Stefanie 
What is one of the funniest things that has happened on set of one of the Twilight movies?

Peter Facinelli: 
We were shooting a big stand-off sequence between the Volturi's and the Cullen's and it was a crazy experience because we had 100 people going through hair and makeup in the morning. One of the actors thought it would be funny if we had a dance off. We didn't tell the director and when they yelled action we broke out in dance. It could end up on the DVD extras.

How do you imagine yourself in 5 years' time?

Peter Facinelli: 
I don't even know where I'll be next week! I'm not someone who sits down and sets out long-term goals. I just try to take it day by day.

Comment From Mel 
Which twilight film did you enjoy filming most?
1:43
Peter Facinelli: 
They were all different experiences. Each had a different tone and experience with it. I enjoyed parts of all of them. The most recent Breaking Dawn took 6 months to shoot.

What is your all time favorite movie?
1:44
Peter Facinelli: 
I'm a big fan of 70's movies. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Cool Hand Luke. The Dogfather. Midnight Cowboy. The Graduate. I could go on, it's hard to narrow down. There's been so many that are inspirational to me.

Question from Harriet from Facebook - Would you like to act in a broadway play?
1:45
Peter Facinelli: 
Yeah, if it was the right play. I don't think it would be a musical because I can't carry a tune. I get booed by my family when I sing in the shower.

Question from Mary from Facebook - What did you think of being at yesterday's Grand Canyon event?
1:47
Peter Facinelli: 
It was amazing and really brought home home how important the national parks are. Staring into the Grand Canyon makes you feel so small in this big world but also makes you feel empowered. It's such an amazing place. Things you do as an individual can lead to bigger grandiose things. Contributing to the now that's positivenergy campaign and texting BUNNY to 27722 can make a big impact.

Comment From Lesley 
where is the best place you have ever been?
1:50
Peter Facinelli: 
My favorite place in an RV - I took roadtrip from NY to LA and it took 30 days driving 4 hours a day. It was the most fun I've ever had on a vacation. Watching the landscapes and the people change was really interesting and I enjoyed exploring that journey. Even though sometimes your muffler drops out or get pulled over by a police officer...you Keep Going!

Peter Facinelli: 
I stopped in Metropolis, Illinois "Hometown of Superman". That's part of the fun. There was a 60 foot tall Superman. I got my daughter a Superman outfit. It was a lot of fun. I have to recommend the Grand Canyon though. Photos don't do it justice.

Question from Jewlz from Facebook: What is your favorite thing to do when your home with your kids and your wife?
1:53
Peter Facinelli: 
We have movie night every Friday night and we make popcorn. the kids look forward to it all week. My 4-year-old wishes it was movie night every night! She's always asking "is it movie night?" It's fun to just hang out and relax with them.

Comment From AngelaW 
Have you ever wanted to do anything else career wise? if so, what?
1:55
Peter Facinelli: 
I'm quite happy with what I'm doing and I feel very fortunate to do what I love to do and make a living out of it. When I was younger I knew no one in the business. I would tell my parents I wanted to be a lawyer and actually studied for a year in college in pre-law, then I transferred to NYU to study theater. I told my parents to be a good lawyer you have to be a good actor and they bought it! I'm grateful it worked out and feel very lucky.

Comment From Kori 
What was the first job you had?
1:59
Peter Facinelli: 
I was a newsboy and delivered the Daily News. I was terrible! I would miss whole blocks and then customers would call my place and complain. Sometimes I forgot to put the papers in plastic bags to protect from the rain. I only made enough to pay back.
