Peter Alberti

Peter Keith Alberti, whose family name originates from Northern Italy, was born on April 2nd, 1983 in Rinteln Military Hospital, Germany. Originally from the UK, his parents - Patricia and Peter Alberti Senior - decided to move back home and settle in Farnborough before moving to Barnes in London where Peter would spend most of his childhood. He attended Lowther Primary School in Barnes and later Orleans Park School in Twickenham and took an active interest in youth drama at BYT Experimental Theatre Group but later found it increasingly difficult to perform due to performance anxiety and later quit. Unable to let go of his love of the arts, he started taking a keen interest in photography and later began working as a photographer. Coincidentally, he was spotted for his work on an online casting platform which lead to him being cast as an actor in his first film.In November 2013, Peter was called into Pinewood Studios. He wasn't told what film it was or what would be involved. It just so happens that it was to be a screen test for one of the biggest box office hits of all time: "Star Wars VII" - The Force Awakens. Alberti spent several days doing what sci-fi nerds could only dream of: dressing up in iconic costumes and acting out scenes as a rebel for the next installment of the space opera classic. He was quickly asked to be the fitting model for all the male costumes, including the newly designed First Order Stormtrooper outfits for which he would wear for the majority of the shoot. After more than 60 days of playing a variety of roles on SW VII, including a Stormtrooper, a Snowtrooper and a Knight of Ren, Peter felt he was ready to take his acting career to the next level.Peter began developing his acting skills at City Lit London whilst working as a double for top actors such as Colin Firth and Benedict Cumberbatch. Being able to work so closely with actors of such a high caliber would give Peter the opportunity to learn many invaluable 'tricks-of-the-trade' that acting schools could never teach.2015 became the year that Alberti would put his acting skills to the test, playing various roles in short films and television series such as the Alter Ego in "Through the Mirror Darkly" and Nick in "The Last Panthers". Peter has also trained in screen combat at the British Action Academy, attaining his Warrior Phase I and Battle Phase II. This has helped give him an edge over most other new actors in the industry. He continues to hone his acting skills at some of London's top acting schools and keeps himself inspired through his love of movies, theatre and art. Show less «
