"On the inside, he's just a bundle of nerves," says Peter Facinelli in this video interview about his new show with HBO long-timer Edie Falco on Showtime's Nurse Jackie.

The show, which premieres on Showtime on June 8th, is a highly anticipated match-up between the two. "What I like about the show is - because I was never big on medical shows, like I'm just not a fan of medical shows, I just don't watch them, but this show, the characters are so interesting that when I read the script, I was like okay, this is, I'd like to watch this."

Continues Facinelli (about his dual doctor roles as Dr. Cullen and Dr. Cooper, "it's funny to play these two characters because they're completely 180 degrees from eachother. I mean, Carlisle Cullen is a rock, and he's always this calming force, and Cooper's this energetic, he's always had four cans of Red Bull, you know..."

About The Twilight Saga: New Moon, "the second time around is kinda nice." "It's all we wanted when we shot Twilight was to do more."

The whole interview video is available below, and don't forget to check out Nurse Jackie on June 8th!
