Peter Loving the Doctor Role!

Peter wants to add Dr. Who to his list of doctor roles! I guess he just can't let go of those medical tools!

TWILIGHT actor Peter Facinelli said he'd love to star as Doctor Who to complete his trilogy of recent doctor roles.

The actor, who is married to 90210 star Jennie Garth, told TV Biz that he's been eager to clap eyes on the popular BBC One show since British fans raved about it at a conference for cult film Twilight.

Peter said: "I wish we had Doctor Who in America.

"Everyone in UK was raving about it when I came over for the conference. I’d love to watch it. Or even star as the Doctor in a film. I could even get a long stripy scarf!"

The 35-year-old actor also said he was looking forward to playing scatterbrained Dr Cooper in new US show Nurse Jackie but reckons his Twilight alter-ego Carlisle Cullen would be mortified by Dr Cooper's slapdash medical skills.

"He’s pretty neurotic and his mind isn’t on the operation. Carlisle is much more of a rock and much more focussed on his job and would think Cooper is a bumbling mess."

Haha! I'd love to see Peter as a crazy time-traveler, that'd be nice.
