Peter DeLuise has been in the business long enough to remember when "streaming" meant a creek in the woods. With over 35 years of experience and 200+ hours of television directed, Peter has done everything from crewing submarines on SeaQuest to busting punks on 21 Jump Street to wrangling aliens on Stargate SG-1. (Yes, he also occasionally wrote what the aliens said.)
His directing credits are longer than a CVS receipt and include cult favorites like Stargate: Atlantis, Dark Matter, Shadowhunters, and Sanctuary-as well as countless hours of heartfelt Hallmark movies where he proved that love can conquer anything, including zoning laws, bad weather, and baking competitions.
Peter has been nominated for six Leo Awards, winning three, which proves he can not only herd cats (and actors) but occasionally impress a jury of his peers. His secret powers include comedy, VFX wizardry, the mysterious "acting process," and working with children and animals- basically, all the things directors are supposed to avoid.
When not behind the camera, Peter can be found reminding people that, yes, he was on 21 Jump Street and no, he does not know if Johnny Depp is free this weekend.

- I was not very well-behaved. I remember I was a discipline problem. I was a typical American male at twenty-years-old and I was causing trouble whenever I could. We would just be silly, and our work ethic was not as good as it could be, and we were sleepy and punchy. You get kilns of drunk with fatigue.
- [on coming to Canada to act in '21 Jump Street] My knowledge of Vancouver and Canada was limited to what I knew about Bob and Doug McKenzie. I thought they were funny, talking out of the sides of their mouths and saying 'eh' and wearing toques. I was also under the impression that I was going to a land where there was nine feet of snow piled up on either side of the road at all times, and you had to have snow chains on your tires year-round.
