00:32for several days and building management sent over a locksmith. The neighbor said, Peter was lying on
00:39the floor, face down, facial injury, blood everywhere. Peter's manager said the news had come as a shock
00:46because he was healthy and fit apart from having surgery scheduled in the coming days to remove a

01:03the last couple years, had always fought through and was very strong, Edward said. He continued,
01:10bottom line, he was really a good-hearted person and a brilliant, brilliant actor. I've been trying
01:17to get him to write his autobiography. He's got stories after stories. Edward summed up his client,
01:24saying, he was a unique individual. One of the most brilliant character actors on the planet.
01:31Had a really good heart. Cared about people. Truly one of the great actors of our generation.
