Peter Gray Lewis spent his formative years in Louisville, Kentucky, where he initially pursued his passion for the performing arts, studying and working as both an actor and dancer in various settings throughout the city, as well as in Florida and Chicago.
As a member of the original Hubbard Street Dance Company, he honed his craft as a dancer, but at the age of 24, he decided to leave the dance world behind and embark on a life-changing journey, hitchhiking and hopping freight trains across the country, a path he would continue to follow for over a decade.
Eventually, Lewis returned to academia, graduating from the University of Illinois and the Yale School of Drama, and he went on to spend 20 years working in the off and off-off Broadway New York theatre scene, where he had the opportunity to appear in numerous productions.
In addition to his extensive work in theatre, Lewis has also had a successful career in film, with lead and supporting roles in a wide range of movies, including "Motherless Brooklyn", "Stone", "Untraceable", "Greater", "The Bourne Legacy", "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", "Pineapple Express", "Down in the Valley", and many others.
On television, Lewis has appeared in a variety of guest starring and recurring roles, including "Dirty John: Betty", "Interrogation", "Person of Interest", "Mad Men", "30 Rock", "Law & Order SVU", "Dark Blue", "666 Park Avenue", "Unforgettable", "Boston Legal", and the original "Law & Order", among others.
In the world of theatre, Lewis has appeared in over 75 productions, touring nationally with The Acting Company as Joe in Tennessee Williams' "The Long Goodbye" and receiving a Best Actor nomination from the 29th Annual L.A. Weekly Theatre Awards for his portrayal of Andrew in Chuck Mee's two-person play, "Lemonade Tous Les Jour", which won the award for Best Ensemble Cast.
