DA MAN: How much has your life changed after starring in the Twilight franchise?
Peter Facinelli: My life hasn’t changed much, just gotten a lot busier!

DA MAN: There have been vampire and werewolf stories for decades (even centuries) in literature and TV and films, but none has been as wildly popular as Twilight. As an insider to the whole thing, have you ever tried to analyze why there is such incredible popularity with Twilight?
Peter Facinelli: Not really, I’m just ecstatic that the fans have embraced the series as much as they have. I was a fan of the book series as well. When I read the first book, Twilight, it was this Romeo and Juliet story with a vampire backdrop. The vampire world is secondary to the emotional core of the story.

DA MAN: Before you began your own journey with, had you read Stephenie Meyer’s books?
Peter Facinelli: I hadn’t read Twilight until I was up for the role. I read the book right before I went in to meet with [Director] Catherine Hardwicke and audition for the part.

DA MAN: What has been the craziest or most challenging scene for you and why?
Peter Facinelli: The most challenging scene was the stitching scene in New Moon because I had to learn how to stitch someone up and really had to do the stitches. The day we were shooting the scene, I realized I had to wear my [colored] contact lenses and I couldn’t see. It is very difficult to stitch with limited vision.
