Peter also starred alongside Vince Vaughan and Jon Favreau in the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Couples Retreat’ and Simon Pegg in ‘Shaun of the Dead’ as his ultra-professional flatmate, Pete.

He made his broadcasting debut in 1993 on Radio 1 show ‘The Knowledge’, a spoof documentary about the music industry and has since appeared on a number of other shows including, ‘Harry Hill’s Fruit Corner’, ‘Weekending’, and ‘Grievous Bodily Radio’ on Radio 4.
