ET: Peter Facinelli on Twitter, Cooper, and Carlisle

Peter_FacinelliET caught up with Peter Facinelli and asked him to recap a whirlwind year and to tell us what’s up for 2010.

“It’s been a busy year for ‘The Twilight Saga’ star Peter Facinelli who has been juggling his schedule between shooting ‘Eclipse,’ the next film in the vampire franchise, with his role as Dr. Fitch Cooper on “Nurse Jackie.” ET caught up with the jet-lagged actor to talk about both projects and his addiction to Twitter.

ET: You have a huge following on Twitter. What made you start?

Peter Facinelli: I just enjoy what Twitter is because I can really connect with the fans. It is a great way to share information with them and it is a good way to entertain. I like being able to put a smile on people’s faces and mix that up with sharing information with them. That’s important. Also, letting them know what I am doing. I have had people come to me and say, “Will you tweet this out?” There is like paid advertisement stuff. I am not into that. I want to keep my Twitter pure. I don’t want to sell my followers anything, I want to be able to have that base, so I can tell them what I am doing and entertain them

ET: What will we learn about Dr. Carlisle Cullen in ‘Eclipse’?

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