Pete had an opportunity to originate the role of "Paul Panderbear," a singing, fun-loving pimp in a new musical showcase called "The Bones Venture," performed at The Hartley House, West 46th St.; a short walk from Broadway - so close and yet so far!

Strange By Choice is a new sketch comedy group on the web: http://www.strangebychoice.com The short, three character film "Social Bliss" was accepted into the 2nd annual Wildwood By The Sea Film Festival this past September, 2008. Congratulations to independent film makers Victor and Archie Burdiladze! Peter played the lead role of John, a plumber. Also to be noted is the fact that filmaker brothers, Victor and Archil, originally hail from the small country of Georgia which has been in the news quite a bit over the past year. (See a short clip on Peter Quentin Smith's reel.) In the short, four character film "One Way", by Jameshed Usmanov, Pete expertly flips open a "butterfly" knife and drives it under the chin of one of his captors. It is a short yet quite extraordinary little piece of movie magic performed by a hardworking team - kudos to the director, crew, and and make-up artist. Without giving too much away I'll just say "watermellon" and "fake teeth". Have a quick look for yourself on Peter Quentin Smith's reel. By the way, this movie was actually shot way back in October of 2006. Goes to show, never give-up hope on the possibility of a project being completed! Peter was the body double for Donnie Duetsche from "The Big Idea", in two 'promos' for the show. Pete quickly studied Donnie's walk and mannerisms on-set, and, as he exits an elevator, walks down a hallway, and steps onto a soapbox you would never guess it was Pete and not Donnie. Pete said the best part was wearing Donnie's expensive suit; but contrary to popular belief, he did have to return it when the shoot was finished. Peter played the role of Norman, the dad of a somewhat odd, but loving family that owns and runs a small hotel, in Alex Lamm's sitcom pilot "Checked-In". Currently being edited in NYC. Peter recently played the role of movie producer HARVEY WEINSTEIN in the short film "Queenie" by Will Harper, of Ithaca Pictures, NYC. In
Eric Eskenazi's ongoing trilogy "Meshuggeneh", Peter plays the role of
Bixby
Mocherie, a disfunctional father who suffers from Aspergers Syndrome
and
is haunted by the abuse that he has inflicted upon his daughter in his
earlier days. A frustrated singer-songwriter who can only communicate
through
strumming his guitar while making up somewhat non-sensical lyrics, Pete
says it's a perfect role for him. Producer Eric Eskenazi has plenty of
goodies related to this film and some of his others, on his website www.GumGroveFilms.com Peter played the lead role of "Michael," a man who dies and begins his "after-life" in which he must reconcile with turbulent situations of his past, in Jared Mezzocchi's multi-media original, "The One Stoplight In Hollis". A week of live performances on stage at Fairfield University, which had Peter and his angel "Sophia" played by Tess Brown, "jumping" in and out of Michaels "past" on large film screens. Every show was sold-out and the project and performannces received rave reviews! See a moving scene of "Michael" with his son "Martin" in the kitchen, on Peter Quentin Smith's reel. Peter recently played the role of "ROCKY" in a reading of George Romaine's cutting edge play "The Society For Saving Men" performed at The Dramatist's Guild, NYC, on January 16th, 2008. Peter played the role of the "Director" in Monroe Mann's, "Origami Deathmatch" - a hilarious comedy/spoof filled with lots of upcoming NYC stars. (See a short clip on Peter Quentin Smith's reel.) Alex Staniloff's short film "Stop The Music", has been completed and is ready for the festival circuit. The film is a story about love, and how a young man wakes up one day and can't seem to get the sound of music out of his head. Pete plays the role of "the Doctor" who the young man goes to see for help. By the way, in real life Pete is actually an EMT, but those skills were not needed for this role.
