Peter
did many guest shots on TV Westerns before, after and in between his own
series but eventually the genre almost disappeared from the small
screen.

In the 1970's
Peter did what a number of Western stars did -- switched from horse opera
to soap opera. For twenty years Peter "sold soap" in five different
daytime dramas.

However, unlike
some of his fellow Western alums [e.g. Philip Carey (Laredo, One Life
to LIve), David Canary (Bonanza, All My Children), Robert Horton
(Wagon Train; As the World Turns)] Peter maintained a steady presence
in films and prime time TV.

On this fansite
we plan to post a page or two on every one of Peter's many TV and movie
roles including every episode of his two Western series. We'll have
video grabs, credits, plot summaries, reviews, script notes, memorabilia
[from movie posters to Hartland figures to comic books], links to fansites
for guest actors, and more than a few facetious comments.
And in light of
those facetious comments, we make the following proviso: Although
Peter was nice enough to make this site his official, authorized site,
he's only responsible for the signatures on his photos being authentic.
We try to check with him on some facts but he's a busy man and travels
alot. He's not going to be proofreading this site. So if anyone
finds an error -- ghastly misstatement of facts, barely significant typo
or bad link-- please let us know. Corrections are easily made if
you contact us at:
