To celebrate Twilight debuting on Showtime, there is going to be a live webchat with Peter Facinelli on January 23rd at 7:30pm est. See all the details here.

Question: Does Carlisle have a lot to do in Eclipse?

PETER FACINELLI: Yes, he does a lot. A lot more than the first two films, for sure. You know, what I like about the third movie is that you get to see a side of Carlisle you haven’t seen before. You actually get to see what his vampire capabilities are because there’s some great battle sequences. It’s my favorite book.

When do you hear about Breaking Dawn?

FACINELLI: I don’t know. Usually the fans know before I do, so I’m sure I’ll see it on the internet before I get the phone call.

Is Twitter part of your job now?

FACINELLI: No, I just enjoy what Twitter is because I can really connect with the fans. It’s a great way to share information with them and it’s also a great way to entertain. I like being able to put a smile on people’s faces and I like being able to also mix that up with sharing information with them that’s important, and also letting them know what I’m doing. I’ve had people come to me and say, “Hey, will you tweet this out?” There’s like pay advertisement stuff. I’m not into that. I like to keep my Twitter pure. I don’t want to sell my followers anything. I want to be able to have that fan base so I can tell them what I’m doing and entertain them.

We also asked Peter the Carlisle and Coop question recently and he had a pretty funny answer.

E! had readers vote on who their top celebrity Tweeter was and Peter Facinelli came in number one.

It’s pretty amazing when you consider that Ashton Kutcher, who has more Twitter followers than the populations of several nations, came in second. Peter has really taken the possibilities of Twitter to a new level raising money for multiple charitable causes.

Peter Facinelli Tweeted last week about his visit to his high school, St. Francis Prep, in Queens, New York. The local Northern Queens paper covered the visit.

“St. Francis Prep principal Patrick McLaughlin said that Facinelli recently reached out to a teacher at the school and said he would like to come back and talk to students.

“He really did a great job,” said McLaughlin, who taught Facinelli when he was a student at Prep. “When something like this happens, just having him walk back into the school sends an important message to every student in this building that there’s someone who walked in your footsteps and is now very successful.”

Facinelli, who was born and raised in Ozone Park and graduated St. Francis Prep in 1991…”

In part one of this series Peter talked about his new Vampire Transformer IPhone app. In part two Peter talked about New Moon, a bit of Eclipse, and his hopes for Breaking Dawn. Now Peter talks about Carlisle’s motivations and just what would happen if Carlisle ever met Cooper from Nurse Jackie!  If you’ve ever wondered if the cast really understands their characters, this is the interview to listen to!

We want to thank Peter for taking the time out of a busy day to talk to us and share these amazing stories with us!

***NOTE: We’re having trouble with the audio file and will get it posted later today probably around 4 EST.

For now you can read the transcript under the cut.

Last week we had an interview with Peter Facinelli where we talked to him about his Vampire Transformer IPhone app. Pel downloaded it for .99 ( it’s one sale until the 18th) and had way to much fun with it. Pel started transforming the entire Twilight cast (see if you can guess who is in the picture below), not too bad for the first time she used the software. She’s gotten way more artistic with it now. Nobody tell Alphie because that’s who Pel is doing next.

Anyway, we were then were able to talk to Peter about his work on Twilight and New Moon (which you can find below) and his thoughts on being on Twitter. Peter was so great to talk with us after wrapping an early call on Nurse Jackie. On Wednesday we’ll complete our Peter interview where he talks Eclipse, Nurse Jackie, and other things… [Read more…]

Peter Facinelli also says that he keeps combing the web for information because the fans seem to know if there will be movies before he does. Don’t worry, Peter, we’ll make sure that our people call your people :p
