In July 2006 Peter accepted the offer to play Dr. Callum McKay on SHORTLAND STREET and moved to New Zealand where he remained for 6 years .  He had previously travelled to Auckland three years earlier to film The STORY OF LUCILLE BALL for CBS and loved every minute of his time there.  In 2010, Peter played Vernon Bramwell in the New Zealand film, PREDICAMENT, and Officer Eastwood in the Bollywood film, LOVE HAS NO LANGUAGE.
