Actor Peter Greene, best known for his roles in “The Mask” and “Pulp Fiction,” was found dead inside his Lower East Side apartment Friday afternoon, his longtime manager confirmed to The Post.
Greene, who established himself as an onscreen villain during the 1990s, was 60 years old.
He was found unresponsive inside his Clinton Street apartment around 3:25 p.m., and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police and Gregg Edwards, his manager of more than 10 years.
Cops said no foul play was suspected, but that a cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner.
“Truly one of the great actors of our generation. His heart was as big as there was. I’m going to miss him. He was a great friend.”
The devastated rep said Greene, who also appeared in the “Usual Suspects,” was about to begin production in January with Mickey Rourke on an independent thriller called “Mascots.”
Edwards, who’s based in California, notified the film’s writer-director, Kerry Mondragón, of the actor’s death and said he broke down in tears.
“They were very upset,” the manager added.
