House Peters Jr. was the muscular guy with the bald head and hoop earring that starred in Proctor & Gamble's TV commercials for household cleaners in the late 1950s and into the early 1960s.

Peters was never a leading man. He played supporting roles and worked with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. In 2000, he won a Golden Boot Award for his contributions to the western film genre.
