Peter Parros
Peter Parros is an actor, born 1960.
Daytime television paid for this career and shaped it. Parros spent close to a decade as Dr. Ben Harris on the CBS soap As the World Turns, which is the kind of long-form work that never makes a highlight reel and quietly teaches an actor how to hit a mark and land a page of dialogue on the first take.
Before that he was a young actor inside eighties network television, playing RC3 on Knight Rider and Eddie Dootabuta on Charles in Charge. Since 2013 he has played Judge David Harrington on Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots, a long-running Oprah Winfrey Network melodrama that shoots fast and asks its cast to play very large emotions with a straight face. He is credited as a screenwriter as well as an actor, which is the less visible half of the resume.
The film work is thin, and the notable recent entry is a father in the Netflix adventure Rim of the World.

Where to start with Peter Parros
Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots is the only place here to see a sustained performance, and it has kept him on screen longer than anything else. Judge Harrington sits at the sensible end of a cast making uniformly terrible decisions, which is a harder job than it looks: somebody has to stay plausible while the plot goes berserk.
Knight Rider is the nostalgia pick, and RC3 is a genuinely odd piece of eighties network television, a young sidekick bolted onto a show about a talking car. Charles in Charge is a footnote. Rim of the World gives him a few minutes in a children's adventure film. His longest run, on the soap As the World Turns, is not among the credits listed here, so treat this page as a partial view of the actual career.
