Peter Greene (born Peter Green; October 8, 1959) is an American character actor.
A native of Montclair, New Jersey, Greene did not pursue a career in acting until his mid 20s. He initially landed several roles in cinema and television in the early 1990s.
Greene's breakthrough came in 1994-1995 with a remarkable string of four movies: Pulp Fiction, The Mask, Clean, Shaven, and The Usual Suspects. Greene is possibly best remembered for his role in Pulp Fiction, as Zed, a racist serial killer who rapes Marsellus Wallace. The Mask saw him play the villainous Dorian Tyrell opposite Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz. Greene's most accomplished role was that of schizophrenic Peter Winter in Clean, Shaven. The Usual Suspects saw him play the small but memorable character, Redfoot. Greene often plays villains such as in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory and a corrupt narcotics officer in Training Day. He played Martin Lawrence's nemesis in Blue Streak.
Greene has continued to maintain a steady career, as a character actor but has never broken into starring roles. He appeared in the short-lived television drama The Black Donnellys. He also appeared as a policeman in Prodigy of Mobb Deep's video for "A,B,C's" , as well as the focal character in House of Pain's video for "Fed Up."
