"The method that Peter taught is still one that I use today-he allowed me to see that there is always a way that is truer and deeper than you first imagine. He taught me how to truly take risks in my work and invest authentically in my characters. "The Transformational Actor" is a comprehensive text that offers true guidance and deep insight for any student or professional."
