Notes

Peter Hayden began his acting career in the 1980s, and has enjoyed a diverse career across stage and screen for the last four decades. Currently, Peter can be seen in riotously successful comedy series KID SISTER, starring as the "scene-stealing" Jewish family patriarch, 'Hershey'. The series has just finished filming season two. Other recent highlights include a guest role in Lionsgate thriller DARK CITY - THE CLEANER and ruthless businessman Sir Keith Murphy in Emmy award-winning series RURANGI, as well as THE BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES, 800 WORDS, DIRTY LAUNDRY and POWER RANGERS. Peter has also worked for many years as a documentary filmmaker, most notably for WILD SOUTH, an internationally successful docuseries that boasts David Attenborough amongst the series narrators. During its two-decade long run, Peter contributed as a narrator, producer, director, writer and script supervisor. Peter lives Dunedin and in 2017 received a New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to the film and television industry.
