The acting community is mourning one of their own.
Peter Greene, best known for his villainous roles in films like Pulp Fiction and The Mask, was found dead at his New York City home Dec. 12, his manager Greg Edwards confirmed in a statement to NBC News. He was 60.
Though his cause of death has not been disclosed, Edwards revealed that the Beggarman actor was found dead in his Lower East Side apartment during a wellness check that was conducted after music was heard playing from Greene’s flat for over 24 hours. Edwards also revealed that he had spoken to the late actor earlier that week.
Though the movie star was known for his chilling roles on-screen—including serial abuser Zed in Quentin Tarantino‘s 1994 film Pulp Fiction opposite Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson—Edwards will remember Greene for his soft side off-camera.
“Nobody played a bad guy better than Peter,” Edwards gushed. “But he also had, you know, a gentle side that most people never saw, and a heart as big as gold.”
