American actor (1937–2023)
Peter White (October 10, 1937 – November 1, 2023) was an American actor.[1]
Early life and education
Peter White was born in New York City on October 10, 1937.[2] He studied acting at the Yale School of Drama.
Career
In 1968, White received critical acclaim for his role as Alan McCarthy in off-Broadway's The Boys in the Band. White, and the rest of the original cast, appeared in the 1970 film version, directed by William Friedkin.[3] He was touring in Barefoot in the Park with Myrna Loy when he was offered the part in Mart Crowley's controversial play about a group of gay friends in New York.
He told Soap Opera Digest: "Things were sort of really moving for me; I was doing so well, and I thought, 'I don't need this kind of risk.' I talked to Myrna — she became my mentor — and she said, 'Peter, if you are going to be an actor, you are going to have to take some risks in your life.'"[
