Time to wrap up our countdown of the "Top 5 Things You Didn’t Know About Peter Facinelli."  In case you missed the previous posts, here's a recap:

5. Peter attended acting school in New York and his teachers included William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman from Desparate Housewives (who are also husband and wife).

4. In addition to acting, Peter also wrote and produced the upcoming movie ‘Loosies’ that he will star in as well.

3.  Besides acting, look for Peter to add host to his résumé. On April 4th, he’s co-hosting Live! with Kelly as they broadcast on location from Canada.

2.  Peter’s parents are Italian and he’s actually a dual citizen of both Italy and the U.S.

And the No. 1 Thing You Didn't Know About Peter Facinelli is (drum roll, please) ...

1.  What Peter really wants to do is ... Direct!  He's checked off acting, writing and producing, but he's never directed before.  Peter says:

I would like to direct in the future. I directed some shorts for College Humor and I have worked with so many directors. I’ve done over 40 films and TV projects so at a certain point I know how to tell a story. The first attempt was writing. Now I’ve taken on being a producer. Next, it’s the final challenge, directing."

Again, you can meet Peter on Saturday night at Women's Night Out at the Harvey Convention Center in Tyler.  In the meantime, check out Peter’s website at peter-facinelli.com and follow him on twitter @peterfacinelli
