American actor, Peter Greene, best known for his villain roles in Pulp Fiction and The Mask, has died at age 60.
He was found unresponsive in his New York City apartment on Friday, his manager confirmed. No cause of death has been disclosed, and police said no foul play is suspected.
Greene earned recognition in the 1990s for his memorable supporting roles, notably as Zed in Pulp Fiction and Dorian Tyrell in The Mask, starring alongside Jim Carrey.
Over his three-decade career, he appeared in films like The Usual Suspects, Training Day, Blue Streak, and The Bounty Hunter.
He also earned critical recognition early in his career, winning the Best Actor award at the 1994 Taormina International Film Festival for his lead role in the independent drama Clean, Shaven, in which he portrayed a man with schizophrenia.
His manager, Gregg Edwards, said, “Nobody played a bad guy better than Peter… But he also had a gentle side that most people never saw, and a heart as big as gold. He was a terrific guy. Truly one of the great actors of our generation. I’m going to miss him. He was a great friend.”
