Peter Hinwood was a professional model when he was chosen the blond muscle hunk Rocky Horror (a Creation) for the movie.



He had little or no acting experience and does not even sing his own songs in the film. After Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), he shied away from any publicity on the film and has since retired from show business.He went on to work for many years as a successful antique dealer. In the late 1990s or early 2000s, a two-page article on his gallery appeared in the American 'House & Garden' magazine, illustrated with a number of Islamic artworks, as well as a very large stucco or plasterwork figured relief from Elizabethan England.
