History Creator / PeterCoyote

* Cap. Harold C. Barnes in ''Film/{{Sphere}}'' (1998)

* James Alan Pierce in ''Series/{{Perception}}'' (4 episodes, 2014-15)

!!Tropes:
* {{Awesome McCool Name}}: There are several theories as to why he chose the [[StageNames stage name]] of Peter Coyote. The actor is reluctant to discuss the change, apparently the end result of an evening spent [[MushroomSamba experimenting with controlled substances]]. (Apparently he mistook his shoe-prints for paw-prints.)

Next to Creator/StacyKeach, Peter Coyote (born Robert Peter Cohon; October 10, 1941 in New York City, New York) is arguably America's best-known voice narrator. His mellow tones are often [[IdenticalStranger compared with]] those of Creator/HenryFonda.

Beginning in TheEighties, Peter began doing voice-overs, which has led to a very successful side venture, now numbering over 120 films. He continues to lend his voice to narrations for commercials and documentaries (including many a Creator/KenBurns production, like ''Series/TheVietnamWar''), and often donates his voice to films that support issues close to his heart.

It was not until 1982 that he landed a big-time role -- playing the 'good' scientist, Keys, in Steven Spielberg's ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial''. He then found himself in high demand in Hollywood, but seemed ill-fit for a leading man. Later, Coyote was cast as the overzealous prosecutor in ''Jagged Edge'' (1985) and finally seemed to have found his niche: that of the antagonist [[JerkassHasAPoint who may be right]].
