Oh, I thought Bella's dad was played by Peter Facinelli. That's what I get for hating the movies so much and not paying attention.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know he was in Twilight either, since I too have never seen the films...
ReplyDeleteBut he is a Bad Robot guest actor who was in an episode of FRINGE -"In Which We Meet Mr. Jones" as one of Olivia's past love interests, Lucas Vogel!
I knew I've seen him somewhere before. I think after that he was on Rizzoli & Isles.
ReplyDeleteBut I have yet to see him on Twilight. (You know, since I loathe everything about that series)
Billy Burke is a great addition. He's good actor. I watched the twilight movies, so he did good job in the role of dad of Bella.
ReplyDeletePeter Facinelli is Dr. Carlisle Cullen, dad of Edward character.
ReplyDeleteThis pilot is looking better and better. Don't hold Twilight against him. He was a bright spot of a great character actor in an otherwise...well Twilight...movie series.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAdd another person I adore (not from Twilight!!! I have no relation to that series), involved in this project! Seriously this one is shaping up to be like a dream of mine come true!
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks!
