He played the character Zed, a sadistic rapist security guard, in the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film “Pulp Fiction,” and he also was known for the role of villain Dorian in the Jim Carrey movie “The Mask,” also in 1994.
“Nobody played a bad guy better than Peter,” Edwards said in a phone interview. “But he also had, you know, a gentle side that most people never saw, and a heart as big as gold.”
Edwards said he was told that there had been music playing in the apartment for over 24 hours, and that prompted a wellness check. Edwards said he spoke with Greene earlier this week.
As sadistic, rapist security guards go he was a real sweetheart.
“He didn’t make it”
Zed’s dead, honey - Zed’s dead.
Well that was a hanging curve ball over the middle of the plate, if there ever was one.
Heh, posts like that are a reason I pay money to keep FR in business...:)
Made me laugh aloud!
I used to get him mixed up with the Peaky Blinders guy, Cillian Murphy.

He isn’t just acting.
LOO
LOL! True. Any actor can become recognized for one line, one scene… if I say Bill Paxton don’t you think ‘that’s it man, game over’?!
Me, too. Add in they also look similar to Judson Scott, and there’s all sorts of now older material to be confused with.
Right - the three of them must have been separated at birth.
Meanwhile, Dick Van Dyke celebrated his 100th birthday today.
Dick is undead.
Top THIS, Keith Richards.
Peter Greene’s face is a little bit Eric Roberts and a little bit Christopher Eccleston.
His gaunt face always gave him the appearance of being strung out, maybe there was a little truth to that?
Sir Keith is only 81, so he’s got a way to go yet.
