Peter
Spellos
Peter
Spellos has been performing and making folks laugh as long as McDonald's
been selling hamburgers. He is a actor/comedian/denture wearer, voice over
artist, stage director and author, whose career began as extra for a week
on the dance floor in SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. Since then, things have gotten
busier. Peter has acted and entertained in over 100 television shows and
films. Most recently, he was American Bandstand’s curmudgeonly director
Gus all three seasons of the hit NBC drama AMERICAN DREAMS.
Peter has
had the great pleasure of working with many wonderful directors on their
projects, including Barry Sonnenfeld (MEN IN BLACK II), The Wachowski
Brothers (BOUND), Brad Silberling (CITY OF ANGELS), David Mirkin
(HEARTBREAKERS), Danny Cannon (PHOENIX) and Danny DeVito (HOFFA), to name
a few. Over the years, Peter has also voiced and starred on numerous
animated series, including DIGIMON, TRANSFORMERS, OUTLAW STAR and the
feature film versions of METROPOLIS and COWBOY BE-BOP.
As a young
actor, he was a member of the 1st Amendment Improv Co. in NYC, and teamed
with Jim Brownold on WPLJ-FM as the morning comedy team in the early 80's.
He was the warm-up act for THE COSBY SHOW, sit com pilots for Robert
Klein, Stiller and Meara and Melba Moore. Peter was also the creative
director of WHO'S ON FIRST and The Usual Suspects Improv
Co.
in NYC. He has taught for over
23 years and continues to teach comedy and “anti” acting classes in
L.A.
When time allows, Peter appears nationally with the LaughingStock Comedy
Company. (www.laughing.com)
In the
fantasy world of film and tv, Peter has had the extreme pleasure of: being
seduced by
Sigourney
Weaver (HEARTBREAKERS) being murdered by Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher), morphed
into Freddy Kruger (NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST. 6), been questioned by both Perry
Mason and Det. Sifowitz (NYPD
BLUE), and played God (well, Jerry Garcia from the Grateful Dead as The
Almighty himself). In the real world, he continues to perform, write,
direct and teach all over the country. And a long time ago, Peter, with
Jim B., once was the opening act for Twisted Sister.
Spandex
was never an option…
