Peter Coyote - narrator

After graduating from Grinnell College with a BA in English Literature in 1964, Peter Coyote moved to the West Coast to pursue a Master's Degree in Creative Writing at San Francisco State University. From 1967 to 1975, Peter took time to "do the Sixties," and many of the stories of that period are included in his memoirs, Sleeping Where I Fall. From 1975 to 1983 Peter was a member of the California State Arts Council. In 1978, he began to work at San Francisco's award-winning Magic Theater doing plays "to shake out the rust" and get his unused skills in working order. While playing the lead in the world premiere of Sam Shepard's True West, he was spotted by a Hollywood agent who asked to represent him. Seventy plus films later, Peter is still acting. He lends his rich voice to narrations for commercials, as well as to television documentaries, and also donates his voice to films that support issues close to his heart. His home has been in Marin County in Northern California since the early 1970s.
