Peter Kluge was born and raised in Rochester, New York, and has been a professional actor for nearly two decades. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre and Speech from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, and Fordham University in New York City.
After studying acting under the direction of the late Rod Marriot of Circle Repertory Company in Manhattan, Kluge created the part of "Paul Tucker" in the Emmy Award-winning after-school special, The Day The Senior Class Got Married, in 1984. This role led to numerous television and film appearances, including starring and guest-starring roles on Ned & Stacey, Mr. Belvedere, Better Days, Roomies, Loving, As The World Turns, The Insiders, Dark Music, The Elvis Presley Story, Honor & Duty, One Life To Live, and General Hospital.
In 1994, Kluge produced and starred in The Los Angeles Premiere of Lloyd's Prayer, Kevin Kling's two-act comedy and winner of the 1988 Humana Festival. He has also appeared in over seventy national commercials and has modeled in national print campaigns for Izod, Toshiba, Bon Apetit, Amway, Kodak, Ray Ban, Malboro, and others.
Kluge founded and served as CEO of GKS Entertainment, LLC, a Los Angeles-based music mastering and recording facility, in 1996. The company duplicated nearly sixty percent of all advanced recordings for the Los Angeles recording industry for six years.
As a natural progression from his interests and business acumen, Kluge started managing talent and co-founded Intrigue Entertainment, LLC, where he was responsible for signing and developing several new artists, including Ray Proscia, Victor Webster, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Darryl Theirse.
In April 2001, Kluge left Intrigue to start the independent Management and Production firm, Impact Artists Group, LLC, and immediately acquired newcomers Joshua Swanson, Collin Stark, Kevin McCorkle, Amanda Tepe, Jessica Rey, Rob Moran, and Zakk Moore.
When asked about his company, Kluge stated, "My vision encapsulates a management philosophy lost in recent years. It's not just about signing this generation's star talent; it's about keeping clients in an environment that nurtures personal growth and responsibility. We look for 'talent,' not just the next erratic, undisciplined 'celebrity.' We are a family, and in it for the long haul."
