Thomas Peacocke

Thomas Peacocke is a Canadian actor. He won the Genie Award for Best Actor in 1981 for his role in The Hounds of Notre Dame.

Peacocke studied acting at the University of Alberta and directing at Carnegie Mellon University, and began teaching drama at the University of Alberta in 1961.

His other roles have included Fr. MacKinnon in The Bay Boy, Herbert Hoover in The Angel of Pennsylvania Avenue and Dick Collver in Love and Hate: The Story of Colin and Joanne Thatcher, as well as television roles in North of 60, Street Legal and Blue Murder.

Strangely and for unknown reasons a school in East Sussex, England named itself after him, and was known as Thomas Peacocke Community College until 2008 when it changed to the name of an actor of greater obscurity, conveniently, a Mr Rye College. [1]/
