A graduate of St. Louis' Washington University where he majored in history and literature, he was a co-founder of the comedy improvisational group "Mama's Pot Roast" and trained initially with the Actors' Studio in New York. Such off-Broadway productions included Horton Foote's "Laura Dennis" and John Cameron Mitchell's "Kingdom of Earth". He made his screen bow in Tim Robbins ' "The Dead Man Walking (1995)" and was given more sizeable roles in "Desert Blue (1998)" and "Man in the Iron Mask (1998)" as the ill-fated son of the Musketeer Athos, played by John Malkovich. Peter then started gracing the art-house circuit, making a violent, searing impression as a homophobic killer in "The Boys Don't Cry (1999)" starring two-time Oscar-winner Hilary Swank as a transgendered teen. Other impressionable offbeat roles for Peter that have thrilled critics from coast to coast include "Shattered Glass (2003)", which earned him a slew of awards including the prestigious National Society of Film Critics Award. Prior to that, he showed off his versatility with portrayals ranging from a Russian nuclear reactor officer in "K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)", to a drug addict in "Salton Sea (2002)". Other heralded performances in "Garden State (2004)" and "Kinsey (2004)" only prove that, at this rate, it is only a matter of time before "Oscar" comes rapping on this man's door. hide |

| Kinsey is a biologist and a sex researcher. He releases reports about sexual behavior of American people in 1948 and 1953. He interviews 18,000 people to take sex histories. It is sensational and controversial because it is taboo to talk about sex. And people have little knowledge of it. No knowledge makes them worry and feel guilty. Actually, he and his wife lose their virginity after their marriage, but it is unsuccessful. From the bad experience, and as he consults with his students to give them advice about sexual problems, he gets interested in revealing people's sexual behavior. He devotes his life to sex research. His academic curiosity is amazing. He supports "diversity" and "individualism". He claims there are common and rare sexual behaviors, but we shouldn't categorize it into the two groups, normal and abnormal. He influences a lot of people. Especially, he encourages and saves homosexual people. In short, Kinsey is an influential figure who is fascinated with sex research and contributes to the society. Search keywords
