I miss seeing Peter Brown--Sigh!

Loved Peter Brown. He was so good on Days as Greg Peters. One of my early heartthrobs, long before I understood what it meant.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought that if Texas had cast Peter in the Alex Wheeler part (instead of Bert Kramer) opposite Beverlee McKinsey, that the character would have worked. As it was Alex Wheeler was killed off a year into the show. A missed opportunity.
Incidentally, Peter also played Roger Forbes on Loving 1983-1984.
I agree guys, I love Peter Brown
