Look dude, no one cares who you are. But to amuse myself, I'll respond to you anyway.<br /> <br />First, according to the comment box thingy, your name is Anonymous, not Peter Greenwood. That doesn't matter though because both names have an equal level of notoriety. In fact, anonymous is actually a synonym for Peter Greenwood, so you get a pass on that one. Although "uncredited" is an even better one. More on that later though…<br /> <br />So, do they teach reading in Australia? Because the words "who the fuck is Peter Greenwood?" do not appear ANYWHERE in this article. What I actually wrote was "don't ask me who the fuck Peter Greenwood is". And, I wrote that because I didn't want to have to explain to my readers that "Peter Greenwood is a chubby, sphere-headed fucknozzle with bad teeth who is holding that telescope in front of his face with little TOO much familiarity while yelling excitedly about things coming… if you catch my drift".<br /> <br />They have radio in Australia? Seriously? I'm gonna break the news to my fellow Americans, because we had NO idea you guys had advanced that far technologically. Dude, I hate to break it to you, but Australia is pretty much the Southern Hemisphere's answer to Canada as far as Americans are concerned. We know you're there, we have vague ideas about what you do, but you also couldn't be more irrelevant.<br /> <br />And, you did a voice in "The Rescuers Down Under?" The sequel to a movie about Disney's least popular (bordering on entirely forgotten) franchise? The movie that had the least successful box office performance of any of Disney's movies that came out during its 90's Renaissance? And you admit to that? More people are reading this comment right now than saw that movie. What happened, couldn't book a part in "All Dogs Go To Heaven part 4"? Also, I checked IMDB. You're listed at the very end of the cast list with a nice little "uncredited" in parenthesis. That's very impressive.<br /> <br />Speaking of impressive, you played "Aquafiend" in a couple of episodes of Power Rangers! That's cool… only, it was in the year 2000. A good five years after Power Rangers' popularity peaked here in "The States", and thus, quite lame.<br /> <br />Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? <br /> <br />But, since you asked the question, I decided to do a little research and find out just who is Peter Greenwood… and it turns out in addition to the DeNiro-esque resume listed above, you played "Support Group Chubby Guy" in an episode of King of Queens, again uncredited. And, you played a dude named Tiny (I love ironic nicknames), yet again uncredited, in an episode of "Lucky Louie" (a show which I personally loved, but lets be honest, viewers gave less than 3/10ths of a fuck about).<br /> <br />So, in conclusion, go crawl back under whatever Outback rock you oozed out from and stop bothering innocent internet bloggers who happen to mention you in passing because your name was inexplicably on the title of a YouTube video that you're by far the least interesting part of. The last thing I need is some D list Aussie pseudo-celebrity interrupting my day. Don't you have some vegemite to eat? I know you're hungry. Thanks for the bump this is giving an article I wrote 3 years ago though, we here at CCD never mind the extra hits!<br /> <br />P.S. I'm editing your IMDB to add "JoeyEsq's Biggest Fan, and CCD Groupie (uncredited)"<br /> JoeyESQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07240729892976470378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890300254470726941.post-49723964882306908052013-09-09T13:57:02.543-04:002013-09-09T13:57:02.543-04:00I never knew you did toy posts.

But I saw Vytor the one week it aired and was disappointed that the show disappeared shortly thereafter. Loved the, at the time, cutting edge CG graphics and video effects, and the Trimarang and Wing Shield combo was really inventive.

I had that bad guy in the middle and the guy in the yellow suit....any toylines other than He-Man GI Joe, MASK or Transformers I was able to buy...I was only allowed to have 1 good guy and 1 bad guy from what I recall. I was good at talking my mom into anything if I could present could enough stipulations. The '1 good guy, 1 bad guy' rule worked pretty well. Along with the 'c'mon, they're the same size as He-Man and I can play with them together' rule. <br /><br />Don't know much else about the rest of those...but wow does that 'PowerLords' ad bring back memories. It was only on the back of EVERY comic book released that year.<br /><br />Good job Joey! I look forward to more of these write-ups on 80s toy culture.
