Peter Greene, actor known for 'Pulp Fiction' and 'The Mask,' dead at 60

Peter Greene, known for villain roles in Pulp Fiction and The Mask, died at 60 in his Lower East Side apartment; no cause of death disclosed and no foul play suspected.

  • On Friday, actor Peter Greene was found unresponsive in his Lower East Side, New York City apartment and pronounced dead at 60, manager Gregg Edwards confirmed.
  • Born on Oct. 8, 1965, Greene ran away as a teenager, hid in theaters to escape drug dealers, and attempted suicide in early 1996 before seeking addiction treatment soon after.
  • Known for his 1994 breakout roles, Greene played Zed in Pulp Fiction and Dorian Tyrell in The Mask, with notable parts in The Usual Suspects, Training Day, and a praised lead in Clean, Shaven.
  • Edwards called the death a "shock" after speaking with Greene earlier in the week; police in New York City do not suspect foul play and the cause remains undetermined.
  • He had been picked for the independent film Mascots and was due for surgery to remove a benign tumor near his lungs, while those close to Greene noted his off‑screen personality contrasted with his violent screen characters.
