Peter Facinelli recently admitted that juggling between "Nurse Jackie" and "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse" brought tears to his eyes. The 36-year-old actor opened up about the matter at the current Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour while promoting the second season of his hit Showtime medical drama series.

When asked whether it is hard to switch gears from portraying Carlisle Cullen to Dr. Fitch Cooper, he recalled the moment he broke down in tears. "I did a scene where I was crying with Akalitus (Anna Deavere Smith) that came out of me just being emotionally exhausted," he said. "It wasn't written that I was crying and, all of a sudden, in the middle of the scene, I broke down and started crying."

"It felt right for the scene. I did takes that I wasn't crying in, but they felt like, because I was just dumped by Jackie and there was all this heavy emotions going on, it really worked for the scene," he further explained. "I think it was just me getting off an airplane, having three hours of sleep and just being that vulnerable. It hit me that hard. But, I enjoyed doing both projects, at the same time."

On the occasion, the husband of actress Jennie Garth also revealed that his Carlisle will have more spotlight in the third "Twilight Saga" film. "You know, what I like about the third movie is that you get to see a side of Carlisle you haven't seen before," he shared. "You actually get to see what his vampire capabilities are because there's some great battle sequences. It's my favorite book."

Peter Facinelli is known for his leading role on FOX's 2002 series "Fastlane". He has starred in a number of movies, such as "Riding in Cars with Boys" and "The Scorpion King", before landing the role of Carlisle Cullen in the "Twilight Saga" series. He has finished filming for "Eclipse" in late 2009.
