CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Hundreds of die hard "Twilight" fans headed to the Town Center Mall as early as 4:00 a.m. Saturday for a chance to meet Peter Facinelli.
He portrays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the movie "Twilight".
Facinelli signed autographs and even posed for pictures with his fans.
They shelled out up to $40 dollars for a chance to get close to the star.
A portion of the proceeds will go to Facinelli's favorite charity, Omnipeace. The organization helps families who live in extreme poverty.
This is first time a "Twilight" character has made a stop in West Virginia, and Facinelli says he's humbled by the turn out.
He's a huge fan of the books and says it's an honor to be part of something that's turned into a pop culture phenomenon.
