Born in Australia, but raised in Canada before returning down under in the late 70's, Peter's love for the arts, especially film and television, was firmly set at a young age. While attending a workshop held by Australian casting company, Maura Fay & Associates, Peter's uncanny knack for accents and natural performances quickly singled him out and he was hired as an auditions reader for Australian/American co-productions. So began his involvement both in front of and behind the camera. His acting and accent ability led to him being cast in many American film and television roles, working alongside such directors Angelina Jolie, Guillermo Del Toro, Alex Proyas, George Miller and Michael Pattinson - and actors Nicholas Cage, Gerard Butler, Rose Byrne, Heath Ledger, Ben Mendleson, Jessica Alba, Bailee Madison and many more.
By 1995, he was cast in a support role in Space Above and Beyond, a science fiction series produced by the team who brought us the X-Files. While continuing to perform both American and Australian roles, he also began instructing acting students in the use of American accents. This led to him being hired as an American Dialect Coach on the late Heath Ledger's (RIP) first American television series, Roar. Peter also performed opposite Heath, Vera Farmiga and Lisa Zane. His professional reputation grew quickly and he continued working on American productions often both as an actor and a dialect coach. Near the end of the 90's, MGM hired him to coach the accents on the Australian/American co-production of Flipper. He also directed the lead children's performances, along with playing a regular role in the show for two full seasons. He then went on to another American series The Beastmaster and was responsible for coaching both the accents and performances of the lead actors Daniel Goddard and Jackson Raine, along with many guest leads including Grace Jones and New Zealand's Marton Csokas. Pete worked that series for a full three seasons, and directed on a number of occasions. In between crew work, Peter still found time to perform roles in other productions including Crocodile Dundee in L.A. and Attack on the Queen. Later Pete was cast as a father in the children's television show Mortified, played a lawyer in the Japanese feature A Very Good Company and a slave trader in the American action feature, The Condemned. He has coached Rachel Ward in Monarch Cove, Nicholas Cage in Ghost Rider, Gerard Butler in the Jodie Foster film Nim's Island, Rose Burn and Ben Mendelson in the Nicholas Cage feature Knowing, both Megan Gale and Theresa Palmer for George Miller's Justice League, Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce and Bailee Madison on the feature Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.
During 2014 Peter has worked on features such as Unbroken along side director Angelina Jolie and San Andreas alongside actor Dwayne Johnson.
