    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.

  • Peter Facinelli Quotes

    • "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."LA Times: Peter Facinelli Says He's on Team Edward (November 11, 2008)
