In 2003, he starred in "The Station Agent" written and directed by Tom McCarthy. The movie received critical praise and Peter was nominated for best actor at the Screen Actors Guild and Independent Spirit Awards. He played Miles Finch, an acclaimed children's book author, in the comical 2003 film, "Elf". The English (2007) and American (2010) production of "Death and a Funeral", (2008) "Penelope", and (2008) "Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" are a few more of his feature films.
