Peter Evangelista

We caught up with Actor, Peter Evangelista and asked him to share "5 Facts" with us. This is what he said.

1. Born and raised in New York. Grew up with an immigrant father and a Queens, New York mother. Where we ate dinner together just about every night and we were taught to cook, clean up after ourselves, and talk during the meal about life and what we had going on.

2. I’m an undecided introvert…. I have my moments.

3. Love what I do. I found out early on what I wanted to do. It took me some time to give myself permission. But when I did I saw that there was no turning back, away, or against it. I fell into the entertainment industry because a girl I had a crush on in the 5th grade convinced me to participate in the class play so that our teacher would throw us a pizza party.

4. I love sports and exercise. Baseball, Football, Boxing, Running, lifting, anything physical really. The competitive nature of sports teaches us something, win or lose. And getting connected to your body does wonders for the mind. And vice versa. I’ve always been drawn to that.

5. Went to baseball tryouts with a broken hand, made the team as the starting catcher, and fooled the coach the whole time doing it. When I approached him with my cast on he was shocked that it happened weeks before tryouts. It taught me a lot about myself at a young age. The main thing being that I was tougher than I thought and...dumber (in a sense).
