Peter Facinelli (Mike Dexter)
Then: Facinelli gained the attention of Hollywood in the television films 'The Price of Love,' 'Calm at Sunset,' 'After Jimmy' and 'An Unfinished Affair,' the latter alongside his future wife, Jennie Garth. At 25 years old, Facinelli was the oldest "teen" in 'Can't Hardly Wait'; he also played a teen alongside 'Wait' co-stars Ethan Embry and Breckin Meyer that same year in 'Dancer, Texas Pop. 81.'

Now: Much of Facinelli's career between then and now is unremarkable. He appeared in 'Supernova,' 'Riding in Cars with Boys,' 'The Scorpion King' and starred in the short-lived Fox drama 'Fastlane.' However, things really started to heat up in 2007 when he played a pivotal role in the first season of 'Damages,' opposite Glenn Close. Then his cash cow rolled into town: the part as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in 'Twilight.' He landed a role on Showtime's 'Nurse Jackie' shortly thereafter. Now his children -- Luca Bella, Lola Ray and Fiona Eve (which, come on, all sound like vampire names) -- can truly be proud of their dad.
