Peter Hinwood was born May 17, 1946, and worked as both a photographer and a professional model while he was pursuing his acting career. Hinwood is most noted for his film appearance as the well-oiled and mostly mute title character in the cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. (He had warmed up for the Greek god physique thing with a stint as Hermes in a mini-series on British television in the late sixties.) While the body was his, the part of Rocky's singing voice was played by Trevor White. His portrayal of Dr. Frank-n-furter's "creation" was the most significant role of Hinwood's acting career.
