Peter was the first Ed I ever saw. I enjoyed his work in the role, but he never was suited for a patriarchal role - his Ed was much more pensive and broken. He seems more like a followup to what I've seen of Gentry's Ed. Hulswit was very warm and natural. He would have likely been out of sorts for what GL became and what the Bauers became, but maybe the Bauers wouldn't have been decimated. Or maybe that was inevitable.
I remember Michael Logan mentioning all the fun times and stories with Marland that he couldn't share. Between that and the anecdote about Marland and the toilet at his home with a photo of someone's face in it, I think he was mostly very good at keeping his true self out of the press. Some of his interviews during GL seemed to be the exception. I imagine that experience ending in such an ugly way, combined with his experiences with A New Day in Eden and tangling with Agnes Nixon at Loving, humbled him a great deal. Whatever happened, I vastly prefer his work at ATWT to his work at GL.
