Biography

Peter's journey as an actor began with a four-year grooming process at Rank studios, where he accumulated a considerable amount of experience playing supporting roles in significant films. However, his breakthrough moment arrived in 1948 when he made his Broadway debut alongside the renowned Marlon Brando in the production of "Power Without Glory". The critics were effusive in their praise, hailing his performance as "the performance of the season", yet, unfortunately, this did not translate into a successful acting career.

Disillusioned, Peter shortened his name to Pete and pursued a new passion, disc jockeying, at Radio Luxembourg, commencing his new role in 1950 with a modest salary of £15 per week. Although he has described disc jockeying as a hobby, his ultimate goal remains to establish himself as a respected actor. Reflecting his continued dedication to his craft, Peter has since reverted to using his original name.
