Entertainment Tonight caught up with Peter Facinelli and got a chance to talk with him about the fight training the cast will do in preparation for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

When Peter Facinelli starts rehearsals for ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,’ he and Robert Pattinson and the rest of the gang will be spending a whole week on fight training.

“What happens in ‘Eclipse’ is Victoria comes back and she builds an army of new-born vampires, which are basically new-bitten vampires that are blood-crazed,” Peter tells ET. “She is trying to get this army to come after us so she can get to Bella, so we team up with the werewolves to attack these newly bitten vampires.”

In addition, Peter talked about the cast and how close they are. In addition, Peter plays Dr. Cooper on Nurse Jackie.

The 35-year-old actor says he considers the ‘Twilight’ cast his second family: “We are really like a family off and on set. I love each and every one of the cast members like they are my kids.”

As soon as ‘Eclipse’ wraps, Peter will start shooting the second season of his Showtime series, “Nurse Jackie.”

“What is fun for me is to play two characters that have the same occupation, but they are 180 degrees apart,” he tells ET.
