Peter Facinelli: How I Got Started
Posted by Twilight_News - 05/11/09 at 12:11 am
Peter Facinelli talks to The Wrap about how he got started in the entertainment business and unlikely sources he credits with his success.
“For a whole year I was going up on stuff and I was probably really terrible. Every time I walked out of the room, I had this great high, like I was doing what I wanted to be doing, and I was really excited that I was able to go out on things. I was getting some really crappy feedback, but for some reason, my agent stuck with me.
I was horrible. They were saying, “This kid can’t act, he’s terrible.” But you know, it was a great learning curve for me.
I think I had natural instincts, but I was also stiff as a board when I first started out. I also had a really thick New York accent at the time. I was like “My Cousin Vinny,” so that was very limiting, but you know, NYU knocked that right out of me.”

It sounds like every other actors story: “I had it hard then I got my big break”. You know, the actors in the Twilight series are beyond fortunate because we care about all of them. We are interested in all of them. Most movies, it’s just the leading actors who get all the attention. Not with Twilight. I just wonder if they have enough “star power” to open a movie on their own. In all honesty, I go see a movie based on what the story is about. MOst of the time I could careless who stars in it. I hope they all get good stories offered to them.
Peter is such a wonderful man and he does a lot of good things for people as well. I hope he always reaches his goals in life because he well deserves them… Peter is one of my most favorite actors and yes, I have stuck with him for a while now too. Hugs to you Peter and keep up the good work with your favorite charities. I know your true fans appreciate you.
