Peter Zerneck (George W. Bush) Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Peter's acting career began in 2004 with a featured role in the CBS miniseries, Reversible Errors.  Peter's initial interest in acting arose while performing in a production of The Subject Was Roses, at Vassar College, where he graduated with a degree in social psychology.  Since completing his studies at Vassar, Peter has been studying acting at The Herbert Berghof Studio in New York City, under acclaimed teacher Sam Groom.  In his most recent theater work, Peter was cast in EBE Ensemble's annual one act festival, Elephants On Parade 2009, in which he performed dual roles in the plays Presidential Roulette and The Interview.  His work in the festival earned him an NYIT Awards nomination for best male lead actor.  Peter can also soon be seen in the forthcoming feature films Freakonomics, directed by Morgan Spurlock, and My Life as Abraham Lincoln, directed by Shari Berman, both set to be released in 2009.
