Timeline

1927

Born of African and West Indian ancestry on July 2, 1927 in New York City, Brock Peters set his sights on a show business career early on, at age ten. A product of NYC's famed Music and Arts High School, Peters initially fielded more odd jobs than acting jobs as he worked his way up from Harlem poverty.

1940

Was friends with Charlton Heston, having worked with him in numerous plays through the 1940s and 1950s and films through the 1960s and 1970s. They were slated to star in a biracial cast of "Romeo and Juliet" in 1946 that would have had Peters playing Tybalt and Heston as Mercutio that was abandoned because of a lack of financial backing.

1949

Landing a stage role in "Porgy and Bess" in 1949, he quit physical education studies at CCNY and went on tour with the acclaimed musical.

1954

His film debut came in Carmen Jones (1954), but he really began to make a name for himself - having dropped his real name, George Fisher, in 1953 - in such films as To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) and The L-Shaped Room (1962).

1973

1991

According to Nicholas Meyer, director of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991), Peters found his character Admiral Cartwright's dialogue in the briefing scene regarding ending the war with the Klingon Empire so offensive that it took several takes for him to deliver it effectively.

He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Live Theater at 7000 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on April 23, 1992.

1993
