Career

Phelps began his acting career in the early 1980s with an ongoing role in the Network Ten teen soap opera The Restless Years produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation. After that series ended he had a starring role in new Grundy soap opera Sons and Daughters. It was actually Phelps who came up with the "Pat the Rat" moniker in the series.

In 1988 he had a brief role in the 'Dirtwater Dynasty' mini series. Peter featured as David Eastwick, the first born son of the main character Richard Eastwick, played by Hugo Weaving.

From 1989-1990, he was one of the lifeguards (Trevor Cole) in the first season of Baywatch, and had a minor role in the film Point Break. He also had roles in A Country Practice and The Flying Doctors. In 1993, Phelps won an Australian Film Institute Best Actor award for his role in the G.P. episode, "Exposed".^[1]

From 1998 until 2004, he starred in Stingers, a role that won him the 2002 Logie Award for Most Popular Actor.

Phelps also played a recurring role as doctor Doug "Spence" Spencer on the medical drama, All Saints starting 4 October 2005.

In 2009, Phelps had a busy year. He appeared in two television dramas—Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities playing detective inspector Joe Messina; and Vince Marchello (Station Co-ordinator) Rescue: Special Ops. Also in 2009, he also had a role as a police officer in the film Stone Bros.

In 2009, he appeared in a new public awareness campaign by the NSW Rural Fire Service about the need to prepare for bushfires. This included television and radio advertisements. The campaign has subsequently been adopted by the Tasmania Fire Service.^[2]
