Im not sure about anyone else but Peter is my favourite character, firstly he is the usual 'hard black man' who Romero cant do without, evidence of this is in Night of the living dead 68/90 & Day of the dead when the hero's of both films were also tough, cool black guys (although to my amazment the black man got killed in Night of the living dead, I dont know why they couldnt just say he survived!). Since then Ken Foree has become my favourite actor because he's so cool, calm and always the hero! Most famous or humerous quotes in Dawn came from Peter, For example 'When there is no more room in HELL the dead will walk the EARTH', 'Alright, Alright, Alright, Alright, Alright!', 'Come on, come on, Come on, Come on!', 'Mange!', 'Money Money Money...' and many more! I consider him to be the only TRUE survivor because although Fran also survived, she wasnt in on the action like the other 2. Peter was in the action and protecting himself and Stephen during the Raid and still managed to get out without a single scratch! If he had commited suicide it would have been a tradgedy, or worse still if hew had been bitten whilst making his dramatic escape attempt at the end. Peter Washington (Ken Foree) is a Level headed, no nonsense S.W.A.T. officer, Peter Washington escaped with fellow officer Roger DeMarco when it was clear that things were falling apart in the world around. His quick thinking and concise approach, not to mention his sheer size and strength enabled him to help the on-the-run band hold together. Peter left behind a couple of brothers, but it is not known if he was married or not. Hobbies include: carpentry, cooking, hunting rifles and performing abortions.
