He taught me how to truly take risks in my work, invest authentically in my characters, and expect nothing but professionalism. The method that Peter taught is still one that I use today - he gave me the tools to access, emotionally and intellectually, very dense material. He allowed me to see that there is always a way that is deeper and truer than you first imagine." -Julianne Moore Academy Award Winner 2015 Peter has been Head of Drama at Carnegie Mellon and been on conservatory faculties at Carnegie, Juilliard, Harvard and Boston University.
