In the world of cinema, it often happens that by playing successfullyseveral similar characters, the performer becomes a hostage to the same image, so for the rest of his career he has to play the same type of characters. So it happened with an artist named Green Peter. The actor, having begun his career with the role of scoundrels back in the middle of the nineties, and to this day continues to play very convincingly criminals, drug dealers and maniacs. Consider his creative path.
The artist was born in October 1965 in a small town in New Jersey, called Montecler.
At first, the young adventurer wasit is not easy to find a job in this metropolis. In order to earn his living, he undertook any work: he carried pizza, was a freight forwarder and carried out other small assignments. True, Green Peter - an actor soon understood, here is his true vocation. So he started attending auditions in the hope that he would be invited to act in films.
Однако, посетив несколько кастингов, парень quickly realized that in addition to a pleasant appearance and talent to make a career in this field, he needed knowledge. In this regard, Peter Green went to study at the famous Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute.
After several years of studying, I first triedtheir strength in the Green Peter Theater. The actor (pictured in the article) participated in small plays, but later switched to film and television, as these spheres he liked more.

His character is a young man suffering from schizophrenia. He struggles to fight his illness and regain his little daughter, who was taken away by the guardianship service. On the way to the baby the man turns out to be one of the suspects in the murder of an unknown girl. Because of the ridiculous chance that soon the hero of Green dies at the hands of a policeman who diligently sweeps away the traces of the crime he committed.
For this role, the actor received the award of the Taormina International Film Festival.
In the same year, Green was lucky to receiveepisodic role in the "Pulp Fiction" by Quentin Tarantino. And although he played a perverted policeman, for a novice actor it was a real breakthrough in a big movie. After flashing in the "Pulp Fiction", Peter soon received a major role in the film "Mask", where his partners were Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz.
In the "Mask" played the main villain Dorian Tyrella Green Peter. The actor was able to perfectly get used to this image and to show himself well, although against the background of the genius Jim Carrey it was not easy to do it.
After Dorian, Green began to offer many roles in criminal dramas or action films. However, most of his characters after "Masks" are drug addicts, criminals or semi-criminal elements.
Over five years he has appeared in more than tenmotion pictures Green Peter (actor). Films of this period with his participation were no longer hits such as "Mask" or "Pulp Fiction", however these were worthy of the spectator's attention projects. Among them are the action film "Capture-2", the drama about the addiction "Eternal Midnight", the criminal story "Control shot" and others.
Becoming a recognizable actor with a good fee,Green could not stand the test of glory and started all the hard. In particular, the young artist began serious problems with drugs, which soon became public, thanks to a revealing article in the magazine Premiere Magazine. At the insistence of friends and colleagues Peter Green went to the clinic for drug addicts. The treatment helped him overcome the addiction, and he was able to return to work. Unfortunately, it was not possible to tie Peter completely with heroin, he often had failures.
The last known work of the artist in the nineties was the role of the criminal of Deacon, hunting for a precious stone worth 17 million dollars, in the film "The Diamond Policeman".
In the two thousand years, when the fashion for criminalthe militants slightly passed, Peter Green became less in demand in high-budget projects. Most of his work in the first decade of the two thousandth is a small role in the films of category B. The most famous works of Green in these years: the tape "Dead Dogs Lie" (for which the actor was awarded the Copper Wing Award), "Influenced" (Feature Film Award) , "The War of the Worlds", "The Bounty Hunter" and "The once-fallen".
Also during this period, Peter Green played in the television series Law and Order, Life on Mars, The Donnelly Brothers and Justice.

As for his second half, the actor does not have a permanent girl, as well as children. Maybe he very successfully hides their presence from the ubiquitous Hollywood journalists.
The biography of this person is an example of howBeing an ordinary guy, without relatives and connections, you can achieve fame, thanks to his talent, perseverance and work.
