Peter's love of acting started at the age of 13 while appearing in a school play. In 1979, he got his first big break appearing in "The Restless Years" as Ric Moran. Peter stayed in this role for 2 years and soon caught the attention of other TV producers, later appearing on Sons and Daughters, Neighbours and Holiday Island. He also appeared in two movies, Winter of Our Dreams and Just In Time.

In 1987, Peter was accepted into the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic (NIDA) He studied here for 3 years and appeared in numerous productions before graduating in 1989. After graduation, he continued to achieve the same success he had held previously, in shows such as Home and Away, Blue Heelers and G.P.

In 1995 he auditioned for the role of John "Knocker" Harrison for Water Rats. While he was only in the series for one season, he left such an impression on the producer, Hal McElroy, that he was asked to audition for a new police show McElroy was working on, Murder Call.

Peter won the role of Steve Hayden, starring along side Lucy Bell who played Tessa Vance. He starred in this popular Australian drama for 2 years.

After the show finished, Peter took a well deserved break, concentrating on his landscaping business, as well as travelling and one of his favourite past times, surfing. He also started teaching "Introduction Into Screen Acting" for NIDA's Open Program. He proved to be so popular with the students, that he was asked back the following year and has been teaching the subject now for 6 years.

In 2000, Peter again returned to TV as Rick Fontaine in Cybergirl. The series, which was filmed in Brisbane, was shown on commercial as well as cable television, and was an award winning childrens' show.

Recently Peter returned to the stage, in "Spinning into Butter" by Rebecca Gilman, for the Ensemble Theatre. Peter thoroughly enjoyed returning to the stage and said that he had particularly enjoyed working in front of a live audience once again, with such a talented cast and director and that he looks forward to doing this type of work again in the future.

Since the play has completed its successful season, Peter has been busy doing voice-overs for a number of commercials, as well as travelling around Australia doing teaching sessions for the NIDA Open Program.
