Short Bio
After earning his Economics degree from UC San Diego, Peter has had a successful career on hit TV series like NCIS, The Last Ship, and Criminal Minds, even playing a Power Ranger with his own action figure by Hasbro. His unique blend of strength, intensity, and world-weariness has captivated audiences in a range of roles, and his mixed race and ethnically ambiguous appearance make him especially versatile. His ability to fully internalize the emotions of his characters, whether they are victims of trauma or perpetrators of crime, has made him a standout performer. Recently, Peter has been seen on TV in a leading role on CBS’s NCIS Hawaii as the world’s most wanted Chinese spy, Bao, alongside Vanessa Lachey. He’s also had roles on Nickelodeon’s Danger Force and HBO’s Westworld with Hiroyuki Sanada. In addition to his TV work, Peter has won numerous international awards for his leading roles in short films Nothing Is Sacred (with Daniel Moncada of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul), Pawns, and Mask, where he won Best actor at the RED Movie Awards in Reims, France for his portrayal of a PTSD-stricken combat veteran. Peter has also starred in viral internet short films that have amassed over 87 million views.
