Peter Bland

Peter Bland’s creative career encompasses two cultures, dozens of poems, the creation of Wellington’s Downstage Theatre and at least 30 screen roles – among them, his star turn as conman Wes Pennington in Came a Hot Friday.

How many actors could put tragic overtones into such a line as 'You left me standing around in there like some prize dork?'
