Punctual and prepared

As a professional actor, Peter has performed on stages around Australia, and as a singer and comedian,in Asia,the USA,Europe and the UK. Australian TV credits include 'Underbelly', 'Winners And Losers' ,'Neighbors', 'All Saints', 'Something In The Air','State Coroner', 'Blue Heelers' and adverts including 'BCF',ice-creams,Napier,health bars, 'Service Central', iPhone apps,Real Estate and gymnasiums.
You may recognize his voice from radio and internet voice-over work, seen him dancing in a wolf-suit for a Grinspoon video (or many other music videos), or sat on his knee when he was a Myer Santa! Peter has also studied various accents, particularly those of the UK and USA,
and traveled extensively to practice these and learn about different cultures; often
working in the security industry (bouncer!). After being hit by a 4-wheel drive
vehicle, whilst in hospital, he taught himself to walk and talk again. During this time,
Peter was given an old laptop computer and began writing. Since then, he has had more than 6
of his plays produced; with one developed into a film; and 2 short film scripts he
directed and acted in. He has further scripts, both plays and feature films, in various
stages of pre-production, and has recently begun directing for the stage and screen.
It's a long way from Podiatric Surgery, which he studied and practiced until his
accident, but if you search his name in YouTube, you may agree that some career
changes happen for a good reason
