Peter Facinelli on ‘Nurse Jackie’ and Acting
Posted on 13. Jun, 2011 by dazzledforever in News
Peter talks to The Boston Herald about acting and his character, Dr. Cooper from the Showtime series Nurse Jackie. He also compares him to Dr. Carlisle Cullen 
“I’m really happy right now that people can take a look at two things I have going on simultaneously, and they’re 180 degrees away from each other,” he said. “Carlisle and Coop have one thing in common: They share the same occupation. I like when the characters are vastly different from each other because it excites me as an actor.” …
“As an actor, you’re really a cog in the wheel of a bigger machine, and you come and you do your part and you leave, and over 16 years I’ve realized you have very limited control,” he said. “I read scripts all the time, and a lot of them are being produced, and you’re like, ‘Why is this being made? I’ve seen this movie.’ Or, ‘This movie is not great. I don’t know why they are spending money on it.’ I started thinking about what kind of movies I would want to tell and then I started writing them.”
