Peter Paige 1969年6月20日出生(即在阿姆斯特朗历史性登月前一个月)于康乃狄克的哈特福特(美国东北部州).
Peter小时候曾在美国6个不同的州居住过,这也使Peter对新事物及新的环境具有很强的适应能力. 就读一年级时,Peter在表演《The Wizard Of Oz》中的Scarecrow时发现了自己对于表演的热爱,并将其视为自己一生的最爱,而他也告诉自己的家人他想成为一位演员. 在整个高中期间Peter一直积极参与表演，写作和导演.虽然Peter一直辗转于不同的学校,但他一直都是学校中最优秀的学生. 高中毕业后,Paige获得了到Boston University的奖学金.作为世界知名大学戏剧系的一名学生,Peter每天都会花12到15个小时在大学的古典戏剧部学习表演.1991年Peter顺利完成学业,正式毕业并获得了BU的Summa Cum Lande(学位).同时,他也因为优异的成绩被授予Stein Award 及Fin Arts学士学位.Peter是一位具有才华的舞台演员,在世界各地的主要剧院都能看到他的身影.他在公演La Jolla时格外引人注目.Peter参与了不同风格的戏剧表演,从古希腊到莎士比亚戏剧到当代美国的戏剧作品.
毕业之后,Peter很快就搬到了Now York.Peter在搬到波特兰之前参加了Moliere的《Tartuffe》的巡回演出,开始了他在全国各地剧院的表演.在俄勒冈州的波特兰定居下来以后,Peter就在这些地方的城市的Equity舞台上花了2年的时间磨练演技,并且被他现在的经纪人发现. 这位经纪人一眼就看出了Peter身上所具有的潜力.随后将他带到了Los Angeles.
1995年,Paige搬到了LA.就像许多的演员一样，他希望自己能够在影视界创出一番天地. Paige第一次饰演的角色是《Suddenly Susan》中的Neil Pmoeratz,一位神经兮兮的殡仪员.这一角色使他在演技上获得了人们的一致好评.同时他也参加了《Caroline in the City》(NBC 1995-1999)《Will&Grace》(NBC 1998-2006)和MTV 肥皂剧《Undressed》（ MTV 1999-2002）的表演.
Peter最为人熟知的银幕形象是在Showtime连续剧《Queer As Folk》中的Emmett.2000年Peter参加了改编于英国同名电视剧《Queer As Folk》中的主角之一Michael Monotny的试演(有出路,根据音像资料说是试演Ted这一角色).遗憾的是,Peter并没有得到这个角色.但是制片人非常喜欢他,推荐他试演另一个角色--Michael的室友Emmett.起初Em被定型为一个南方同志,他心地善良.在QAF的第一季中是一个带有喜剧色彩的人物.但随着剧情的发展,Em逐渐成为了一个更加严肃,更加具有自省意识的对那些来自害怕成见的同志积极参与者的抱怨作出回应的人物. Peter携手Randy Harrison,Gale Harold,Hal Sparks和Sharon Gless等共同出演了这部具有里程碑意义的电视剧.评论家都承认在这描写了同住于同一座城市7位男男女女之间复杂关系的电视剧中，Paige的表演在这个优秀的团体中格外醒目.许多评论家认为Peter的表演深刻,感性,给人深刻的印象.虽然Paige的家在LA,但是每年的大部分时间Paige都要呆在Toronto拍摄QAF.
2005年,Paige自编自导自演了《Say Uncle》.这部电影用讽刺的手法描写了一位很喜欢小孩的天真的同志的故事.这部电影在2005年夏季在LA首演.评论的回应少数是满意的.考虑到这部电影主题的严肃性,许多的评论家都认为这部电影的语言表达方式非常的不合适.批评家Richard Roepor尤其的不友好.在《Say Uncle》的一篇不留情面的评论文章中,Roepor称这部电影是"毫无目的和自我放任的"并称这部电影为年度最糟糕的电影之一".但作为Paige的导演处女作,《Say Uncle》已经将Peter的导演才能展现在观众面前.
