Actor Peter Greene, who is best known for his roles in “Pulp Fiction” and “The Mask,” has died. He was 60 years old.

Greene was found dead in his New York City apartment on Friday, his longtime manager, Gregg Edwards, confirmed to The Post.

The actor was found unresponsive inside his Lower East Side apartment on Clinton Street around 3:25 p.m., and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police and Edwards.

Police told The Post no foul play was suspected, but that a cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner. 

“He was a terrific guy,” Edwards said.

“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.”

In January 2026, Greene was supposed to start working with Mickey Rourke on an independent thriller called “Mascots,” Edwards revealed before adding that he notified the film’s writer-director, Kerry Mondragón, of the actor’s death.

“They were very upset,” he said.

“He worked with so many amazing actors and directors,” Edwards continued, adding that Greene’s performance as mobster Dorian Tyrell opposite Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz in “The Mask” was “arguably his best role.”

Greene, ran away from his Montclair, New Jersey, home at 15 and lived on the streets of New York City, where he turned to drugs and dealing, he told Premier magazine in 1996.

After attempting suicide in March 1996, he sought treatment for his addictions.
