Peter Mensah has been doing martial arts since he was 6 years old, growing up in St. Albans, England, just north of London. Mensah, who is in his early 30s, has only been acting for seven years.
A former engineer, Mensah came to Canada 11 years ago. He'd worked for British Gas developing gas fields at Morecomb Bay and had done theatre in school. He comes from an academic family.
His father, an architect, relocated with his mother to their native Ghana. He only has two younger sisters. Mensah emigrated from Britain to see the world and it was a toss up whether his destination would be Canada or Australia. The paperwork for Canada came through first.
Recently, he did the voice and likeness of Sgt. Zach Hammond in EA's video game Dead Space. Peter Mensah is the actor who played Terra Prime member Daniel Greaves in the Star Trek: Enterprise episodes "Demons" and "Terra Prime".
He had previously appeared in an episode of Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict, among other television shows. He has also appeared in a number of Nero Wolfe mysteries with Bill Smitrovich and Saul Rubinek. He has also been appearing as General Perry on the Fox television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, starring Thomas Dekker.
Trivia: Was considered for the role of Detective Winn in Prom Night (2008).
