Did You Know: TV Trivia
It’s been quite some time since I’ve done one of these “Did You Know” columns, so I felt it was time to dig out some TV trivia to share with our readers.
Did You Know…
that Peter Berg, is a well-known actor whose TV credits include Chicago Hope, Entourage, The Leftovers and more recently Ballers. But he has also put his stamp on being a producer and executive producer on TV shows like Friday Night Lights and Prime Suspect (in addition to the aforementioned The Leftovers and Ballers) as well as starring in movies like Lions for Lambs, Battleship and Deepwater Horizon and he most recently served as executive producer on the Netflix period piece drama American Primeval. But, did you know that Peter got his TV start in the original 21 Jump Street, appearing in an episode in season two of that Johnny Depp-led series. What’s more he starred in the 1993 box office movie Aspen Extreme that starred Due South actor Paul Gross, General Hospital alum Finola Hughes and The Fosters star Teri Polo?
