“A giant exposed nerve ending” is how Entertainment Weekly described the actor Peter Greene in 1995. Greene, who has died suddenly aged 60, brought his unnerving intensity to a handful of high-profile films in the 1990s, including Quentin Tarantino’s brash comic thriller Pulp Fiction (1994).
Greene appears in the small but memorable role of a depraved security guard named Zed, who uses the eeny-meeny-miny-moe method to determine which of the two trussed-up captives in a pawn-shop basement – a gangster (Ving Rhames) or a boxer (Bruce Willis) – he should rape first.
