Peter is a British-born actor who also has French nationality.
He works in both languages.

He spent much of his childhood outside Britain as his father worked for the British government: Sudan, Guiana, Yemen...
He still enjoys travelling, which suits an international acting career perfectly. He has shot in western and eastern Europe, Turkey, Israel, the Caribbean, Canada...

He was educated in Britain - a traditional "Public School" education - and went on to Exeter University (Education/French) and East Anglia University (Comparative Literature/French) before becoming a teacher in a state school. He played first division rugby and sung in several rock bands.

He has been settled in France for almost thirty years, first teaching at the Paris Academy - phonology and phonetics - while beginning to write and direct in the theatre.

Meeting Samuel Beckett, who encouraged him with his writing, was of major importance and Peter gave up teaching and began more regular theatre work, acting and directing.

He quickly had representation as an actor both in Paris and London and his career developed, especially in Canada, where his performance as James Horton in the iconic "Highlander" series (1992-1998) brought him into the public eye.

Other series followed, such as "Versailles" on BBC2 (Louis XIV's doctor, Masson). In 2019, he played in the European Series "Mirage". He has also worked on several web series.

In cinema, his roles have also been varied, since his first one-liner on a Claude Lelouch movie. He has shot with Alain Resnais, Norman Jewison, Luc Besson, Paolo Barzman, Pablo Larraín…
Most recently in "The Last Duel" directed by Ridley Scott.

Peter also has a rich voice-acting career, regularly voicing documentaries, commercials and (something he loves) cartoons.

He has kept in touch with literature, written two unpublished novels and translated five Léo Malet novels into English for Pan Books.
He has written and directed one short film: "The Chewing gum and Mrs Andrews", sold in America, and directed plays, particularly those of Beckett.

Peter also has a bee-keeping diploma and is active in the environmental and Human Rights arena.
