Peter Greene (born Peter Green; October 8, 1965 – December 12, 2025) was an American character actor generally known for portraying villains. He was best known for his roles in the 1994 films The Mask, in which he played the main antagonist Dorian Tyrell, and Pulp Fiction, where he portrayed Zed, a sadistic security guard. He did not pursue a career in acting until his mid 20s. He initially landed several roles in cinema and television in the early 1990s. His breakthrough came in 1994-1995 with roles in Pulp Fiction, The Mask, Clean, Shaven, and The Usual Suspects. He often played villains such as in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, Training Day, and martial arts/crime film Fist of the Warrior. He struggled with heroin and cocaine addiction in the 1990s. He was arrested for drug-related crimes multiple times. He worked with director Jordan Alan twice. Once on the film Kiss and Tell, a dark comic turn for the actor and then again 4 years later in The Gentleman Bandit (aka Gentleman B). After Greene's arrests in 1998 for drug-related crimes, Alan put the actor through rehab to get him through the second film and eventually, after coming upon Greene doing heroine with Mike Starr, he was forced to replace Greene's voice because of the vocal problems caused by drugs. Despite these problems, Mr. Alan vouched for Greene to producer Tobe Jaffe for the movie Blue Streak, in which he played Martin Lawrence's nemesis. He continued to mostly work as a character actor. He appeared in the short-lived television drama The Black Donnellys and in the opening scene of the premier of the FX series Justified. He also appeared as a policeman in Prodigy of Mobb Deep's video for "A,B,C's", as well as the focal character in House of Pain's video for "Fed Up".

Next day, He heard two guys Jimmy Delgado and Cornelius "Butcher" Downwall, how they are planning wagon stealing with their two companieros, Stanley Jefferson and Billy Steamboat. Deputy visited sheriff and told him what he heard and sheriff told him to find one more good gunfighter who would join them and would help them beat the gang. An angry bounty hunter has found gold just out of town. He is caught in a blood fight with wolf man and his wolf pack. Deputy saw him in trouble and helped him to fight the wolf pack and too decease the Wolf Man. The Bounty Hunter is known as Rutherford Brockhorst. It was necessary to think of a ruse in which the bandits would be caught and neutralized. Before the train was scheduled to depart on its usual route, the driver, Chester Fairbanks, was visited by the Sheriff and Deputy and Bounty Hunter. Together, they swapped the human passengers for mannequins and set the train on its way. The bandits boarded the train as planned, but there were no passengers, only dummies, as well as Deputy Cleveland, Sheriff Taft, and Bounty Hunter Brcokhorst, and each of them was fully armed, each with two Colts, a rifle, and a sawed-off shotgun. The bandits walked into the trap and were surprised. A firefight began. The trio of heroes were shot and wounded, but eventually coming back to town as winners.
