Despite growing up in Los Angeles, Steve Peterson did not see any movie stars until he left the state. After the tedium of high school, and inspired by the great anti-war film Apocalypse Now, he joined the army. Steve served at Fort Benning, Georgia, on the demilitarized zone in Korea, and at the National Training Center in the Mojave desert.
