Peter Facinelli Talks “Worst Vampire” Rating
He’s risen to a new level of fame thanks to his role in the “Twilight” films, but Peter Facinelli isn’t without his fair share of bad press.
For instance, Rolling Stone magazine named him the silver screen’s “Number One Worst Vampire” for his portrayal of Dr. Carlisle Cullen.
The scathing review said, "Facinelli is a solid actor, but playing Carlisle Cullen, the white-haired head of the fang-challenged Cullen vampire family, he looks about as terrifying as 'Project Runway' winner Austin Scarlett, whom Carlisle closely resembles," and was written by Peter Travers.
In response, Peter stated, “YES! I finally came in Number 1 in something!” via his Twitter page. "Thank you Mr. Travers. As Carlisle is a compassionate humanitarian, and anti-vampire in nature, being the worst vampire was quite the compliment. Although, you had me at ‘solid actor.’ :) I did find the comparison to Austin Scarlett utterly ridiculous though ... He has way better cheek bones."
