Peter Greene, Who Played Villains Zed in Pulp Fiction and Dorian in The Mask, Dies Aged 60

Greene was best known for playing villains, perhaps most famously sadistic security guard Zed in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 movie Pulp Fiction, and antagonist Dorian Tyrell in Jim Carrey’s 1994 comedy, The Mask.

But he played villains in many other movies, such as Bryan Singer’s 1995 crime thriller The Usual Suspects, Judgment Night, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, Training Day, and The Bounty Hunter. More recently, Greene played Uncle Charlie in John Wick prequel spinoff TV show The Continental.

Edwards told NBC News: “Nobody played a bad guy better than Peter. But he also had, you know, a gentle side that most people never saw, and a heart as big as gold.”

Edwards told the Daily News that Greene was set to star in a movie with Mickey Rourke that was due to start filming next year called Mascots, and had two other potential projects in the works. He called Greene’s death “a shock.”
