Peck receives enormous international recognition for his role on "Days" and is in high demand for national and international public appearances.

Interests for Peck outside of the acting arena lie in several areas. At 6' 2" tall and 200 pounds, he considers himself an extremely physical person and in excellent shape. Peck trains five days a week with professional boxing coach, Terry Claybon and he has gone from boxing novice to a non-professional caliber boxer. Peck is also an accomplished and self-taught sketch artist and would seriously consider a career as a comic book illustrator if he were not a working actor.
