Peter Coyote - Definition

Actor Peter Coyote (born October 10, 1942 in Colver, Pennsylvania) was the cofounder, with Emmett Grogan, of the San Francisco Diggers and veteran of the San Francisco Mime Troupe. Following the death of his father and the loss of the family farm, Coyote sought work in Hollywood. He is best known for his role in ET but has done other voice work and has narrated many documentaries and served as reader for several audio books.

As a writer he has a mythopoetic style reminiscent of Michael Ventura, the product of years of self-examination.

Peter Coyote's left-wing politics are evident in his articles for Mother Jones magazine and his disagreements with David Horowitz in Sleeping Where I Fall.
