Trivia

  • When he auditioned for the role of Kronos on Highlander, producer Ken Gord didn't want him to get the role because he considered Valentine 'too pretty' to play Kronos. A long scar on the face was added to Kronos' appearance to fix that.
  • The role of Colonel Montoya in Queen of Swords (2000) was specifically written for him on producer David Abramowitz's wishes (Pelka and Abramowitz had previously worked together in Highlander (1992)).
  • Brother of Kazia Pelka
  • The son of an Irish mother, Alma, and a Polish father, Tad.
  • Fluent in French and Italian.

Quotes

  • [at a Highlander convention] "Homogeneity - there's a word! I don't think I could spell it. I did pronounce it, but I'm surprised."
