Nice meeting Mr Peter Jason a true gentleman was always a thrill seeing him in many of John Carpenter films became a tradmark RIP
Peter Jason (Duty Sergeant: Escape From L.A.) (1944 - 2025)
"Peter Jason, one of the great character actors in cinema, has died. His first movie was Howard Hawks' RIO LOBO. He was a dear friend and I'll miss him terribly." - John Carpenter, X
Peter is a household name for JC fans and also collaborated with John on Prince of Darkness, They Live, Body Bags, In the Mouth of Madness, Village of the Damned and Ghosts of Mars. He was indeed one of the great character actors. Always memorable and charismatic. He will be fondly remembered.
Very honored to have spoken with this nice, fun and open guy on the phone. Despite his limited screen time he had great stories to share. When I called him afterwards to ask for permission to use a photo I all of a sudden ended up talking to a swede (like me) who just happened to be there and was part of the family somehow. How about that.
