He opens up about the unique experiences and challenges of playing a doctor on television and shares amusing anecdotes of being mistaken for a real physician. Peter’s academic journey from Brown to Juilliard paved the way for his acting career, and he reflects on the thrill of joining an established show, working alongside talents like Hugh Laurie, and how typecasting in roles such as doctors and lawyers has influenced his path.
