MovieFone exclusively interviewed Peter Facinelli about New Moon, where he talks about the movie, and Carlisle in the series.

When asked about portraying Carlisle onscreen as opposed to the way he is described in the books, Facinelli said he has a pretty straightforward approach. “As an actor I read the books, then I read them again, then I read them again and then I put them down and read the script, which becomes my main focus,” he explained. “So by the time the [first] movie came out I didn’t remember what was or wasn’t in the books. I just saw the movie as a complete entity in itself. Nothing stuck out in my mind that should have been in the movie.”

Thanks for the tip Andie

Also, on a site-related note, I don’t wish to be a nag, but I feel wholly unappreciated when re-posting of material found on this website is done without crediting us. I work hard to bring a Carlisle and Esme resource for you guys, please be a little respectful.
