Peter Meyer is a South African/British Actor, as well as Film Producer and Author to the International Bestseller "The Boy from the Wild" on Amazon.
He is best known for The Boy from the Wild (2019), appearances in The Commuter (2017), Allied (2016) as well as other British Independent Films. His first Lead role was in Lee Reynolds Guide to get Lucky (2016).
Born 1983 in Durban, South Africa he grew up on an incredible Game Reserve amongst wild Animals which was created by his father. Before the age of 8 Peter had survived snake bite(s), Rhino attacks, Buffalo charges and much more. The adventures he lived were like no other, from learning to swim in rivers, to riding elephants, to walking among the wild and facing dangerous encounters. His pets were a baby Elephant, Warthogs, a loving Ostrich and other free spirits.
He attended boarding school in the UK but having being born into the African wilderness the Reserve had a luxury Hotel, so naturally Peter was accustomed to the trade and ended up studying for 3 years at Les Roches University in Switzerland, arguably one of the best hotel schools in the world. There he excelled and graduated to enter the world of Hotels.
Peter lived and worked all around the world in countries like the UK, USA, Jamaica, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. 5 years was spent with Hilton hotels where he became one of the youngest directors at the age of 26. Peter was a senior Director at corporate level looking after multiple hotels worldwide for other companies such as Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, JA Hotels and YTL Hotels.
In 2014 at the age of 30 Peter sadly lost his father to cancer. His father was his hero and best friend. He quit his career and high life in Dubai to spend his last weeks with his father and support his mother where his father passed in his arms. Struggling to focus on the Hotel world he found himself presented with an opportunity in Acting and Modelling. Taking the opportunity by the horns Peter has worked his way up in 3 years to acting in feature films including Hollywood productions along side A-Lists Actors such as Brad Pitt & Marion Cotillard in Allied, Liam Neeson in The Commuter and The Transformers The Last Knight all as an extra. He had his first lead-role playing Lee Reynolds in Guide to Get Lucky in 2015. He has had supporting roles in other British Independent films too.
He has been involved in commercials representing brands such as BMW, Ford, Argos, Burberry, Oracle and Deutsche Bank. Some of his Modeling has been with brands such as Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren, GANT & Tommy Hilfiger through El Corte Ingles in Spain and Jacamo & Ben Sherman in the UK.
Today, Peter is now the author of #1 Bestseller "The Boy From the Wild", written with International bestselling author Graham Spence. It's a true story of his life in the wild of Africa that is one of the most inspiring African True stories of recent times.
