I remember him from Masada, and ABC miniseries that ran in the early 80s. He was one of the Romans. I really don’t remember much from the series/movie, as I was about 15 at the time. Haven’t seen it since. But I just remember him from the series, thinking this guy is awesome.
I was probably the only teen, or one of the very few, that had the Masada soundtrack:

Wow, it looks like someone has posted the whole Masada mini-series on You Tube. Here’s Part 1 of 4:

Looks like an uncut version of “Masada” is available on Netflix.
As for Peter ... what can I say? One of the greats. It’s a shame he feels like retiring, but OTOH, people in other professions get to retire when they’re old and done in, so why not rich actors as well?
