Peter Greene’s final hours have left a trail of questions and heartbreak. Discovered facedown on his apartment floor, with a facial injury and blood surrounding him, he was pronounced dead at the scene despite the rapid arrival of authorities. Outside his door, a handwritten message — “I’m still a Westie” — hinted at a past he never fully escaped, referencing the notorious Irish-American gang once rooted in Hell’s Kitchen.
His manager remembered him not as a troubled figure, but as a “terrific guy” and one of the greatest character actors of his generation, a man still preparing for his next role in the independent film Mascots alongside Mickey Rourke. From Laws of Gravity and Clean, Shaven to his unforgettable turn as Zed in Pulp Fiction, Greene carved out a legacy of raw, unsettling intensity. Now fans, friends, and colleagues mourn a talent silenced too soon.
