A man of many talents, actor Peter Wingfield was the Welsh National Trampoline champion at age 15. Three years later he spent a summer at the National Youth Theatre of Wales and fell in love with acting.

He studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (across the street from St. Bartholomew). Fresh out of school, he landed his first role, as a cabbie in the TV film "Antonia & Jane" in 1990.

He continues to focus heavily on the science fiction genre, appearing in the series "10,000 Days," "Caprica," and "Sanctuary."
