He stands out, among a superb ensemble cast, in the magnificent RSC version of
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby
: his performances in two very different roles are equally arresting. I am not a fan of that version of
Macbeth
: McKellen and Dench, both capable of great things, overact in an off-putting way; but Peck shines as ever. Then, of course, he is absolutely astounding in
Edge of Darkness
.

I know.
I've just bought "Edge of Darkness", he's astounding in it.

Damn straight.

Just watched Edge of Darkness, came to my attention due to the new Mel Gibson movie.
Very enjoyable and Bob Peck is a stand-out performer. His character in Jurassic Park was one of my favorites as well. A cool, charismatic presence, he has a quiet intensity that reminds me of Daniel J Travanti in hill Street Blues. Ben Foster has a similar intensity,and is also one of my favorites.
I will be certain to seek out more of his films.
Very sad to read he died so young.

Awww James, such a sweeet thing to do. Take some time to tell someone how much you appreciate themtell them how happy they make you..let them understand that they make the world a better place by being in ityou can't go wrong. Your letter would have made him smile.hopefully he read it. Blessings to you.
And yes he was a great actor. Edge of Darkness had me on the edge of my seat!
I got a response from Bob along with a signed picture. The writing on the picture was the same as the writing on the letter I got back. It was really kind of Mr Peck to take the time to respond to me. Most stars don't take the time to respond to fans. I have the utmost respect for movie stars that interact with fans be it signing photos and/or writing back to them. Bob definitely seemed really nice in his response. And it is now that I wish I'd written a longer and better letter than the one I did. I've yet to see Edge of Darkness. Is it about a colonel in the army gone rogue in the jundle near Saigon and someone is sent to take him down with extreme predujice?. This is what the Iron Maiden song "Edge of Darkness" is about. The reason I ask is because Iron Maiden tend to have a rep for writing songs based on books and movies they like.

I remember writing to Bob one time and asked for a signed photo. He was kind enough to send a signed photo back (it read: For James from Bob Peck) along with a personal reply as well. So you can imagine how delighted I was. As I was only expecting the photo. He sounded really nice in the response he made to my letter. Now though I wish I'd have made a better effort of a letter than the one I sent him originally. Made the letter a bit longer than it was. And it wasn't too long after I wrote to Bob that I found out he had died. It couldn't have been any more than a year maybe two tops. It does make me sad to think of Bob and realize that he is no longer with us. In the letter I told him things like how much I liked movies and the size of my video tape collection and also that I thought Jurassic Park would have been better if he was in it longer. His character survived in the book, it took me 8 months to read the book though. I think I spoke of other things as well not sure though as it's been a long time since I wrote the letter.
R.I.P Bob. You might be gone. But you wont ever be forgotten.

A great actor and a lovely man,taken much too soon,always bought a warmth and humility to his roles..
Loved him in;
Jurassic Park
After Pilkington
A TV Dante
On the Black Hill
Edge of Darkness
Centrepoint
The Merchant of Venice
Slipstream
If he were still alive i believe he would be wowing film audiences worldwide much like Ian Holm is..
"Diggety Diggety"

Ain't he hot? He sure is! L

I just saw the entire Edge of Darkness, I never heard of Peck before, but he struck me as a very charismatic actor. I'm sorry to hear he's no more.
Oh, btw, I think he was very sexy. Extremely good looking man.

What was your fave Muldoon moment from (JP)?
He's my fave actor too, never be forgotten!

He'll always be one of my favorite actors, I knew him as a child from Jurasick Park and since then I loved his work.

I bought Kitchen Toto a bit ago and loved it, I continue to search and buy his movies.. What a great actor!

I just saw "The Kitchen Toto" a few days ago. I was surprised when I found out that the police officer also starred in "Jurassic Park" and "Smilla's Sense of Snow".
So, while Bob Peck may no longer be with us, I'll always be able to remember him for these three roles.

Yes, I agree with you completely. Bob Peck was one of the greats and he will most certainly be missed.

I think it was probably best that he didn't return. He was great in the original and despite his powerful performance, seeing him in a poor sequel wouldn't be as good. Its best that he stuck with the original.

Yes they changed his character into Tembo.

In earlier drafts of the script he wasnt supposed to die. I wish they kept one of those for the movie. Also he was supposed to come back in the lost world with scars from the raptor, but unfortunatly due to being sick he couldnt do the roll and changed the character into Rollin Tembo. Muldoon was also my favorite character in the book and movie.
RIP BOB PECK
Cancer is more dangerous than a raptor.

Yeah, and at least he doesn't die in the book. At least not that I can remember.
R.I.P. Mr. Bob Peck
