Dr. Carlisle Cullen
Dr. Carlisle Cullen, the patriarch of the Cullen Clan, is described as the embodiment of beauty who was turned into a vampire at the age of 23. His adoptive family, known for their beauty, has embraced "vampire vegetarianism", consuming only the blood of animals rather than humans. Carlisle and his wife, Esme (Elizabeth Reaser), are the parental figures of the clan with Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), Alice (Ashley Greene), Rosalie (Nikki Reed), Emmett (Kellan Lutz) and Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) as siblings.2
Peter Facinelli Quotes
- "Most of the stuff I've done in the past is for adults with a lot of gun shooting and cops. For a long time it was I know Mommy's an actress, but what do you do, Daddy?"3
- "I can actually say I'm one of the few guys who have necked with Rob Pattinson. A lot of people are envious of me."3
- "I went and auditioned for Catherine (Hardwicke) and thought I did great -- but I didn't get it. They wanted an older actor. Carlisle is young in the book, but visually I was told they wanted his character to look a lot older than the kids. But that fell through and they came back to me."4
