The show originated in San Francisco, toured the USA and eventually played Off-Broadway where it earned an OBIE Award. Coyote had his first taste of show business for real in 1967 when he directed "The Minstrel Show" with Dick Gregory. Born in New York and raised in suburban New Jersey and on his family's Pennsylvania farm, he moved to San Francisco in 1963 to attend college, but dropped out of the Masters Degree writing program to pursue work with a radical mime group and in the theater.
As a leading man and screen villain, Coyote is best recalled as the object of the competition between Shelley Long and Bette Midler in "Outrageous Fortune" (1987) and as the emotionally abusive expatriate in Roman Polanski's "Bitter Moon" (1994), a role considered by some to be based on Polanski himself.Ī self-styled nonconformist who has eschewed the commercial, Coyote (born Peter Cohon) has had three bouts with hepatitis brought on by the intravenous drug use he has conquered. A handsome actor who has made a career playing dark, seductive, often intellectually complex characters, Peter Coyote also has leant his distinctive voice-which sounds as if it has been delicately scratched with sand-as narrator of numerous documentary programs.
