Last night, Peter Facinelli did a live chat on TV.com just before the world premiere of Twilight on Showtime cable network.  If you missed it, click here to read the transcript. Here are a couple of tidbits I picked out.

What is your favorite thing about playing a vampire?

I think being a vampire is fun because you get to live forever.

as an actor, the coolest thing about playing a vampire is that vampires are cool right now, so it’s fun to play one

If you could be any character other than your own in the saga, who would that be and why?

Edward, for a bunch of reasons, if I were younger would be a great character to play. If I couldn’t play Edward I’m quite happy playing the dad. I don’t think the apple falls far from the tree.

Team Taylor or Team Robert?

haha – I gotta go Team Robert. he’s my family. I love Taylor, but Rob plays my son so I got to keep it in the family.

But as far as the real actors in the film — I think they’re both immensely talented and I support both of them.
