“I read a speech from one of his plays to get into drama school, one of my first jobs out of drama school was the role I played a character from the play I read the speech from.”
“The writing is top drawer, you can’t find better writing then this. It’s a privilege working with him really,” he added.
Peter, is best known for playing Stumpy in RTE drama Love/Hate, and most recently starred as Packy in Channel 4 comedy London-Irish.
The handsome star admitted he hasn’t seen a single episode of the crime drama since leaving the show in season 2.

“I actually haven’t watched any of it since I left, isn’t that shocking? It wasn’t intentional, I just didn’t get around watching the lads,” he told Goss.ie.
Peter, who is now back living in Dublin added that he has no idea what he was doing when he starred in the award winning RTE show.
“It was great, that was my first job so I didn’t really know what I was doing.”
