One of the 4400: No
Occupation: Deputy Director, US Department of Homeland Security, NTAC, Washington, DC
Marital status/family: Unknown. At least one child, a daughter named Nancy. Former long time friend of Tom Baldwin
Comments: Former head of NTAC's Seattle branch, Dennis was promoted shortly after the events at Highland Beach. He has been friends with Tom Baldwin for many years, and the depth of their friendship was tested to it's limit -and failed- when it was discovered Dennis was an intergral part of a conspiracy to supress the 4400's powers. Every time a 4400 came in for a check-up at NTAC, they were given a drug that supressed their abilities, but it came at a high price; they became ill and several died. Dennis Ryland was arrested along with other high-ranking officials when Tom and Diana exposed the plan. Ryland was not jailed for his part, and has since become an executive at Haspel Corporation, a company hired by the government to research the NOVA group, with Isabelle's assistance. |

Peter Coyote was born Peter Cohon on October 10, 1942 in Colver, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Grinnell College, Iowa, with a BA in English Literature in 1964. He moved to the West Coast to pursue a Master's Degree in Creative Writing at San Francisco State University, and performed on stage, before deciding to focus his attention from 1967 to 1975 to "to "do the Sixties" where he became a prominent member of the San Francisco counter-culture community and founding member of the Diggers, an anarchistic group who supplied free food, free housing and free medical aid to the hordes of runaways who appeared during the Summer of Love. The Diggers evolved into a group known as the Free Family which established chains of communes around the Pacific Northwest and Southwest. Many of the stories of that period are included in his memoir called "Sleeping Where I Fall" published by Counterpoint Press in April of 1998. One of the stories incorporated into his book is "Carla's Story," which was awarded the 1993-1994 Pushcart Prize, a national prize for excellence in writing, published by a non-commercial literary magazine." [from biography at offical site; I'd suggest you visit; he's quite fascinating] Lucky for us, in the late '70's, Peter decided to go back to acting, and he doesn't seem to have stopped since. Peter has appeared in several television series, including The Twilight Zone, Cybill and Deadwood, but he's performed in over ninety television and feature films, including E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jagged Edge, Heart of Midnight, Sphere, Random Hearts, Erin Brockovich, and A Walk to Remember. He also does a lot of voiceover work. Peter is 6'3", and is married to Stefanie Pleet. He has two children, a son and a daughter, from a previous marriage, and has made his home in Marin County in Northern California since the '70s. Peter speaks French and Spanish, and enjoys traveling to London and Paris. Peter is also an dedicated outdoorsman, songwriter and guitarist, and amateur photographer. |
