Walter Peck
Background
Walter Peck works for the 3rd District of the Environmental Protection Agency in New York City, New York.
During the events of Ghostbusters (1984) played by William Atherton
Peck goes to the Ghostbusters headquarters and asks Dr. Peter Venkman questions about the Ghosbusters' business. When Peter refuses to allow Peck to see the storage facilities, Peck threatens to come back with a court order. Later, a group of vehicles pull up to Ghostbusters headquarters and Peck walks into the building with a Police Captain and a Con Edison Man. Janine Melnitz tries to stop them, but they barge their way downstairs. Peck orders the Con Edison Man to shut down all the equipment, but Dr. Egon Spengler warns them against it. Peck orders the Con Edison Man to shut it down and after he does, alarms start blaring. Afterwards Peck tells the Police Captain that he wants the Ghostbusters arrested. Jail Guard brings the Ghostbusters to see the Mayor. The Mayor's Aide tells the Mayor, the Ghostbusters are present. Peck is also brought into the office and the Mayor questions the Ghostbusters and Peck about what happened. The Fire Commissioner tells the Mayor he has never seen any combustion like that which came out of Ghostbusters headquarters and the Police Commissioner says the walls of the 53rd Police Precinct were bleeding. The Archbishop walks into the Mayor's office and tells him he thinks what is happening is a sign from God. Venkman wins the Mayor over by mentioning that if they are wrong nothing happens, but if the Ghostbusters can stop it, then the Mayor's decision will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters. The Mayor then sides with the Ghostbusters and has Peck removed from his office.
