Pete plays the part of a priest (Nick) who falls in love with a girl and considers leaving the Church.

"There have been two roles that have been close to portions of my personality. Never the whole guy. But you zero in on those facets you recognize.  .....

"The other role was that of the priest I played in Matt Lincoln, who fell in love with a girl and wanted to leave the Church, but, in the end, decided to wait and see it through. I could understand this man, the doubts he had. I played him very peacefully, without having to strain. I allowed myself to relax the way I am capable of relaxing if I choose to hard enough. Sometimes I'm just not able to relax. In this town there are always so many things on my mind, things that have to be done. I could relax in this character without any feeling of guilt because I was working. I could be cool and quiet through the period of time I did the role, even after work. I'm not usually like that," he smiled
