Peter Facinelli Talks Twilight and Vampires
Posted on 14. Mar, 2011 by dazzledforever in News
The Evanston Review spoke to Peter Facinelli about his experience in the Twilight movies and vampires in general.
PIONEER: Isn’t it just a little frustrating to play a good-guy vampire? Do you ever wish Dr. Cullen would cut loose and do something monstrous?
FACINELLI: That sort of character doesn’t interest me. To the extent that I ever imagined playing a vampire, it was always one who is more mysterious than monstrous — like Bela Lugosi in “Dracula.” The brutal, horrific stuff never appealed to me. I’ve always been more interested in the character of Carlisle than the idea of playing a vampire, and being a good guy is what he’s all about.
PIONEER: What’s it been like being involved in such an enormously female cultural phenomenon?
FACINELLI: I think the films have their share of male fans, especially now that the stories are becoming more action-oriented as the series progresses. But I love the fact that “Twilight” is something that particularly appeals to women. That’s something I enjoyed about the books from the beginning. I grew up with sisters, so I know something about what it’s like to be in a world that’s male-oriented in so many ways. It’s very rewarding to me to see a theater crowded with women enjoying a story that appeals to them directly and specifically. I love being a part of that.
