As Dr. Carlyle Cullen, the patriarch of the vampire Cullen family, Peter Facinelli plays an important role in “Twilight” — and his wife, “90210” star Jennie Garth, told Access Hollywood‘s Billy Bush in an interview forAccess and “The Billy Bush Show” that fans will be seeing a lot more of him.

“Not so much in the second one, but in the third and the fourth one,” she said. “He’s just so happy to be a part of it and proud of it.”

But, she said, some young fans of the film may have seen too much of him already — or at least her daughter Luca Bella, 11, thinks so.

“It’s so funny because my daughter has friends that have seen the movie and they think that Dr. Carlyle is hot,” Jennie said. “She gets all weirded out, and like, ‘Eww, that’s my dad.’”

The teen vampire film earned $69.6 million its opening weekend, a figure it has now shot well past. Though Peter and stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be back for the sequel, “New Moon,” director Catherine Hardwicke will not — which came as a surprise to Peter and Jennie.

“I can’t understand it because she did an amazing job,” Jennie said.

Summit Entertaining announced that “The Golden Compass” director Chris Weitz would be taking over the series on Saturday, after announcing that Catherine would not be returning earlier in the week — even as she was promoting the film overseas.

“It’s risky,” Jennie admitted, who had nothing but praise for the director. “We were just talking about it — she did such an amazing job with [‘Twilight’] and the visual aspect of it. Everything was spot-on for that film and I hope they can kind of keep it in the same vein.”

In the meantime, Peter’s biggest fans are right at home — his three daughters, Luca Bella, 11, Lola Ray, 6, and Fiona, 2.

“They just can’t get enough of him,” Jennie said. “He loves it.”

Robert Pattinson is hoping to keep a low profile in London to escape attention from American Twilight fans.

“I’ll probably go to London and hide,” he laughed. “Since the day I finished shooting there’s been at least one person come up to me every single day and then after the trailer came out, at least four. It’s absolutely bizarre to me. This was before there was any systematic promotion of the movie. It’s just completely nuts.”

Twilight, which is based on the novel by author Stephanie Meyer, has done brisk business in the US Box Office, and looks likely to do well when it is released in the UK next week.

But this latest movie is not Robert’s first film adaptation from a bestselling book – he also starred in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.

“You’re not playing the book, you’re playing the adaptation otherwise it’s just impossible,” says Robert, who stars as ‘vegetarian’ vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight. “The book just becomes material afterwards and you can take bits and leave bits – I shouldn’t really say that or people will probably get annoyed with me. I did the same thing with Harry Potter, you just take the bits you like and which relate to your idea of the character and just abandon anything that contradicts that.”
