Police said a 60-year-old man was found dead at the address around 3:25 p.m. on Friday, though authorities did not immediately identify him.
Actor Peter Greene, best known for his roles in «The Mask» and «Pulp Fiction», was found dead in his Lower East Side apartment on Friday afternoon, according to his longtime manager. Greene, 60, was found unresponsive in his Clinton Street apartment at about 3:25 p.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said, according to the New York Post.
The details were confirmed by his manager of ten years, Gregg Edward. «He was a terrific guy», Edward said on Friday night, adding, «Truly one of the great actors of our generation. His heart was as big as there was. I’m going to miss him. He was a great friend.»
Sudden Death
A visibly shaken representative said Greene, who also starred in «The Usual Suspects», was set to start work in January on a new project titled «Mascots» alongside Mickey Rourke. The city’s medical examiner will determine the cause of his death.
A neighbor, who requested anonymity, said he found the 60-year-old actor in his ground-floor Clinton Street apartment near Stanton Street after other residents mentioned hearing Christmas music coming from inside for several days.
