Biography

Woodward was born in London, the son of actors Venetia Mary Collett (also known as Venetia Barrett) and Edward Woodward. [ [http://www.filmreference.com/film/3/Peter-Woodward.html Peter Woodward Biography (1958-) ] ] His brother Tim and sister Sarah are also actors. Peter graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and then joined the Royal Shakespeare Company, starring in many of their productions including "Winter's Tale", "Comedy of Errors" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Peter has also played a wide range of major character roles in films and television including the role of the German Captain Stossel in the feature film "The Brylcreem Boys".

As a member of the British Academy of Dramatic Combat, Peter is known in the film industry for his work as a Fight Arranger and also as a post production supervisor, writing the ADR dialogue for films including: "Columbus-1492", "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea", "The Scarlet Tunic", "Les Misérables" and "Dangerous Obsessions" (1998).

Woodward's dramatic combat training inspired him to study historical weaponry and combat techniques, an area in which he is now considered quite knowledgeable. His expertise in this field ultimately led him to create, co-write, and host The History Channel's documentary series "Conquest", a hands-on showcase of weapons, training, and combat techniques throughout history. The series ran from 2002-2005 and, as of February 2007, it is occasionally still shown in reruns.

Branching out, Peter formed a production company in the late 1990s, TRIPAL PRODUCTIONS, with his father Edward Woodward, and for this company Peter wrote and produced his first feature film "The House of Angelo" with his father, Edward, in the starring role as 'Angelo'. Peter's latest writing project, "Closing the Ring", was directed by Lord Richard Attenborough.
