Biography
He was born on November 2, 1959, in Peterhead, Scotland, UK. Peter is the son of Charles Mullan, a lab technician at Glasgow University, and Patricia, a nurse.
Sadly, Mullan senior wasn’t much of a father. Peter said:
‘To be fair to him, I believe that his whole generation were completely screwed. They were war casualties; they came back from the Second World War to no counselling, they were all running around barking mad.”
He later added:

”I’m convinced they had no clue how to relate to their wives, their kids or themselves. I know virtually no one of my age who can remember a hug, or a smile from their father, or a “Let’s go play football.”‘
Mullan was homeless for brief periods at the ages of 15 and 18. But, he still attended the University of Glasgow, where Peter studied drama and economic history.
Despite suffering a nervous breakdown in his final year, Peter graduated, then taught drama at Borstals, community centers, and prisons, while becoming seriously involved in the leftwing theatre movement, which flourished in Scotland in the 1980s.
His first full-length film, Orphans, won an award at the Venice Film Festival.
In 1994, Mullan directed several episodes of the BBC TV series, Cardiac Arrest (a British medical drama series made by World Productions), which earned him a Best Director nomination from the Royal Television Society.
In 1998, Peter was named Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival for ”My Name is Joe.”
In 2003, Mullan won a Golden Lion at the 59th Venice International Film Festival for The Magdalene Sisters, listed by many critics among the best films of 2003, and a Golden Shell at the San Sebastián International Film Festival for Neds, and was nominated for BAFTA Award for Best British Film and European Film Award for best film.
In 2006, he took part in the occupation of the Glasgow offices of the United Kingdom Immigration Service, protesting against the UKIS’s “dawn raid” tactics when deporting failed asylum seekers. The protestors said to BBC director-general Mark Thompson:
“Like millions of others, we are absolutely appalled at the decision to refuse to broadcast the appeal.”
They continued:

Trivia
In his youth, Peter was actually a member of a street gang for a short period of time. He declared:
”I worked with murderers for a long time after I left university – one thing you realize about the gangs and the criminals is that it’s acting by another means.”
In a different interview, Mullan said:
”But once you’re in the movie business, that’s where you meet the real criminals.”
In 2009, Peter vowed never to work for the BBC again after the broadcaster refused to run a charity appeal for humanitarian aid in Gaza.
While filming the 2000’s The Claim in the Canada Rockies, Mullan had to be treated for hypothermia (a medical emergency that occurs when the human body loses heat faster than it can produce heat) after spending 6 hours shooting in the snow. He has been gamely ”playing dead” in the snow for six hours.

In 1977, his father died on the day Peter started school.
When asked about what actor provided him with inspiration, he responded:
”The one I studied as a kid was Spencer Tracy. I’ve never seen him matched in terms of acting. He’s the benchmark, always, because he could turn his hand to anything.”
In college, Peter made extra money by entering disco-dancing competitions.

Just watched The Vanishing Great acting all round. I feel there is possibly another follow on movie to be considered. It would have to be quite something to follow such a gripping film. Watched the series Mum too a few weeks back. Peter Mullen really was good in that. He's a Great versatile actor who holds the audiences emotions and feelings in his hands. Look forward to seeing more of his work.
