The thing about actors is that they often play characters that polar opposite to their personality.

I am not surprised to learn this and to me, it is cool when people in the acting field go for whatever is more challenging. In other words, they are not taking the easier way out even when it's an option.

God bless you and them and Peter's family always!!!

P.S. He did an awesome job giving us Frank. I love when he said to Marie, "You seemed to need it." after she said to him, "You haven't made a bath for me in 35 years!"
