If youâre a certain age, you probably first saw Peter Facinelli in films like Canât Hardly Wait and Dancer, Tex. Pop. 81. A decade later he won even more fans as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the phenomenally popular Twilight movies. He spent seven seasons as another medico, Dr. Cooper, on the TV series Nurse Jackie. Now heâs making his feature directorial debut with Breaking and Exiting, playing in theaters and on VOD beginning today. Leonard and Jessie learn that heâs an actor who loves a challenge, and is proud of his Italian roots (especially his motherâs cooking).
