Born in Cardiff, Peter trained as a doctor at Brasenose College, Oxford
and St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College, but chose an acting
career just prior to graduation. Peter caught the acting bug as a
teenager at the National Youth Theatre in Wales and his drama training
was at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. On leaving
drama school in 1990, Peter made his television debut in Beeban
Kidron's Screen Two production of "Antonia and Jane" before going on to
play lead roles in three television drama series: "Alex" in Granada
TV's Medics; "Lt. Nick Pasco" in "Soldier Soldier" for Central TV; and
"Tom Walton" in "The Men's Room" (1991), a five-part series directed by
Antonia Bird for BBC TV.
For the next few years, Peter worked steadily in the UK doing several
noteworthy productions, such as Pirandello's "Six Characters in Search
of an Author", "Alun Lewis" in "Alun Lewis: Death and Beauty" for the
BBC Wales and "Martin Chuzzlewit" for the BBC, as well as the movie
"Uncovered", directed by Jim McBride. In 1995, Peter did a guest shot
on "Highlander the Series" playing Methos, a 5000 year old Immortal,
which led to a recurring role on the series and changed the theater of
his work from the UK to America. He moved to Canada during the filming
of "Highlander", then returned to the UK to play Tom Kirby in the
Granada Television series "Noah's Ark." Back in Canada, he did two
seasons of "Cold Squad" as Inspector Simon Ross and had roles in "X-Men
2- X-Men United" and "Catwoman". He received a Gemini Award nomination
and a Christian TV Excellence nomination for best actor for his work in
"The Miracle of the Cards". In 2006, Peter appeared on the BBC series,
"Dalziel and Pascoe." Peter and his family relocated to Los Angeles in
the fall of 2005 where he did guest shots on the series "Charmed," and
"Medium" as well as "The Collector" for CTV in Canada. He revisited the
character of Methos for the new Highlander movie, "The Source" and also
played the title role in "The Last Sin Eater" directed by Michael
Landon Jr. for Fox Faith Pictures. In the summer of 2006, Peter
returned to the UK to join the cast of the popular medical drama "Holby
City" for at least one year as Medical Consultant Daniel Clifford.

National Trampoline Champion and his personal best time for running the

wife have a son.
