Most people have come to know Peter Coyote
through his wide range of acting roles, yet he is by no means your typical
Hollywood movie star. Peter Coyote,
who has starred in over seventy films, is a man of many hats who presents the
true delineation of a man spurred on by the urges of creative passion.
But it is not only this creative passion that spurs him on.
It seems that the more you look into the life of Coyote, one is amazed to
discover the deep recesses of a man who is involved, quite ardently, with the
world around him. He is both a
political and social activist championing a wealth of causes he holds close to
his heart. When it comes to television documentaries, he is a person who has
narrated over ninety works. He is a
writer, an outdoorsman, a musician – a person who enjoys living abroad, who
speaks both French and Spanish, and also enjoys working on his 1964 Dodge 4x4.
In short, one might be tempted to call Coyote, quite simply, a refined
and sympathetic man of the times. Even
better yet, a Renaissance man who has garnered a respected reputation as an
actor.
Peter first stepped onto the San Francisco scene after
graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature and planning to
pursue his Masters at San Francisco State, while at the same time working as an
intern for the Actor’s Studio. Soon,
though, he fell in with the San Francisco Mime Troupe, a radical street theatre
well known for its controversial content, adventures and arrests across the
country. And after that, having had
a spell of disillusionment with the establishment, Coyote soon joined the
Diggers - a group of men and women distributing free goods and services to the
kids migrating to the efflorescence of Haight-Ashbury. It was an amazing time, and Coyote’s experience soon
led him into a rapid state of self-analysis and development that has helped to
create his free flowing personality dedicated to a wide array of interests.
A short time following his involvement with the Diggers, Coyote resumed
acting by appearing in a number of plays. He
was quickly discovered by a Hollywood agent, and has ever since continued to
lend his creative talents to all areas that designate his personal interests.
