Fortunately, there are still actors in Hollywood who have bypassed scandalous fame. Peter Facinelli became famous solely because of his talent. And, of course, beauty. This actor is familiar to the viewer from the vampire saga "Twilight", as well as from his role in the TV series "Criminal Racing". We offer a closer look at the personality of Peter Facinelli and find out what other films he has starred in.

Biography

The future actor was born in the New York area of Queens on November 26, 1973. His parents were in no way related to the acting environment. Mother was a housewife, raised Peter and his three older sisters. Father - an immigrant from Italy, worked as a waiter in a local cafe.

Peter Facinelli received his primary education at a Catholic school in New York, and then entered the theater college Tisch School of the Arts. His teachers included such famous artists as Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy and others. Being in a circlecelebrity, the young actor managed to profitably present his talent and soon he was also invited to act in films.

First films

Peter Facinelli got his first roles in the films "Angela", where he played Lucifer, and "False Fire", where his partner was Angelina Jolie, then a completely unknown girl.

The next role in the artist's creative career was the comedy "The Big Deal", where he collaborated with Danny DeVito. But, as it turned out, it was only half the success. The real fame fell on the actor after he played a major role in a comedy melodrama called "I can't wait." He became the idol of millions, his style was imitated by all young people. Later, no less high-profile films with Peter Facinelli were released: "The Seducer", "Supernova" and "The Scorpion King". All of them were a huge success and made a real Hollywood star out of a young and little-known actor.

A new stage of creativity

After success in a number of films, Facinelli begins to think about participating in a TV show. It is worth noting that the actor already had little experience thanks to the series, which was released in 1995. It was a production of "Law and Order". But she did not bring him popularity.

The first project that further expanded Peter's audience was the TV show "Criminal Racing", which aired from 2002 to 2003. The next series with his participation- "The client is always dead" (2003-2005), and then work in a short project "Fight" followed, which was broadcast in 2007.

Sex symbol and object of desire for young girls

Yes, yes, these are the words that can characterize the new role of the actor, which he got after participating in the vampire saga "Twilight". The first film was released on the big screens in 2008. In it, Peter Facinelli played the role of Carlisle Cullen. Despite the fact that the actor's hero is the father of the entire vampire family, who was born in the 17th century, he is well preserved for his age and is still the object of desire of millions.

In the next four years, the artist took part in the filming of the continuation of the saga, playing his original role. After the success of the film, Peter Facinelli's photos were published in every first magazine, and the number of his female fans became simply unimaginable.

Latest work

Dizzying success, huge fees and fame, oddly enough, did not break the actor. In order not to lose his talents and skills, he annually starred in new films and even takes part in the filming of the next series called "Glee". Among the works that Peter has been involved in from 2012 to the present are the following:

• "Serb";
• "Gallows Hill";
• "W alter";
• "Frostbite";
• as well as two series - "Supergirl" and "American Odyssey".

The participation of the Twilight star in these films alone ensured their success and excellent payback. The actor is in the status, as they say, "snapped up" and continues to delight the audience with his talented performance.
