Peter Greene (born 8 October 1965, Montclair, New Jersey) is an American actor. A native of Montclair, New Jersey, Greene 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 a remarkable string of four movies. Pulp Fiction, The Mask, Clean, Shaven, and The Usual Suspects. Greene is best remembered for his infamous role in Pulp Fiction, as Zed, the debauched security officer who commits the racially motivated rape of Marsellus Wallace. The Mask saw him play the villainous Dorian Tyrell across from, then up and coming, Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz. Greene's most accomplished role was that of schizophrenic, Peter Winter in the haunting Clean, Shaven. The Usual Suspects saw him play the small but memorable character, Redfoot. Greene played yet another memorable villain in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.

He was also in Bang.

Greene has continued to maintain a steady career as a character actor but has never really broken into critically acclaimed or starring roles.
