Peter Greene, the actor known for playing villains and criminals, including in his role as Zed in "Pulp Fiction," died at his New York City home Friday, his manager confirmed. He was 60.

Greene was found dead inside his Lower East Side apartment, manager Gregg Edwards said. He did not disclose a cause of death.

Greene's death was first reported by the New York Daily News.

Police responded to a 911 call about an unconscious male at a Clinton Street address at 3:25 p.m. Friday and EMS declared Greene dead at the scene, a police department spokesperson said.

Greene played the character Zed, a sadistic rapist security guard, in the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film “Pulp Fiction,” and he also was known for the role of villain Dorian in the Jim Carrey movie “The Mask,” also in 1994.

“Nobody played a bad guy better than Peter,” Edwards said in a phone interview. “But he also had, you know, a gentle side that most people never saw, and a heart as big as gold.”

He 100% looked the part for the roles he played, and he played them with both subtlety  and menace too, good actor.

"Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead..."

Such a great character. Looking through his IMDB I can't say that I really recognised him in anything else, though.
