He won the regular leading role of Sydney Lowe in the popular war time series Home Fires (1980 - 1983). Upon wrapping Home Fires Peter enrolled in York University's Film program but dropped out four days later after being cast in two feature films back to back, by accomplished directors - Unfinished Business (1984), directed by Don Owen, for which he was nominated for a Genie Award as best supporting actor and The Bay Boy (1984), directed by Daniel Petrie, in which he played the first of two roles as Kiefer Sutherland's on-screen big brother and which won the 1985 Genie award for Best Motion Picture. In 1984, Peter moved to study acting at New York's prestigious Circle in the Square theater school, sharing an apartment with Sutherland, and actors Leah Pinsent and Rus Blackwell. In 1985 Peter was offered the role of Cleveland in the feature Crazy Moon and convinced Sutherland to come on board, thus reuniting them as screen brothers for the second time in as many years. Afterwards he followed Sutherland to Los Angeles and lived with him for a time in Donald Sutherland's vacant townhouse/office in Marina Del Rey. Peter won the title role in the HBO after-school special The Truth About Alex (1986) opposite Scott Baio. In it he played Alex Prager, a small-town, gay high school football all-star, who is forced to come out after being attacked in a public washroom. The show was the first of its kind aimed at a young audience to tackle the issue of homosexuality and went on to win a Gemini award for Best Short Drama. Peter returned to Toronto after The Truth About Alex, appearing in several movies of the week and guest starring in a variety of roles in episodic television. He resides in Toronto today with his wife and daughter.

Peter Staley was diagnosed with AIDS-related complex in 1985 while working as a bond trader at JP Morgan on Wall Street. He joined ACT UP New York shortly after its founding in 1987, and chaired its fundraising committee for three years. In 1988, he left his Wall Street job to become a full-time AIDS activist, joining ACT UP's Treatment & Data Committee (T&D). In 1989, Staley led ACT UP's campaign to force Burroughs Wellcome to lower the price of AZT. He organized activists to infiltrate their North Carolina headquarters and seal themselves in a third-floor office, and led a demonstration on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, disrupting trading and resulting in a price reduction of AZT three days later. In 1990, Staley was an opening plenary speaker at the VI International Conference on AIDS in San Francisco. In 1992, Staley and other members of T&D founded the Treatment Action Group (TAG), and he became its Founding Director. TAG's first action and "art project" involved covering Senator Jesse Helms' home with a giant condom. In 1993, TAG successfully lobbied for a radical restructuring of the management of the government's AIDS research effort. The NIH Revitalization Act created a powerful Office of AIDS Research (OAR) to provide coordination, strategic planning, and leadership in the NIH's AIDS research programs. In 1994, Staley was appointed by President Clinton to the National Task Force on AIDS Drug Development. He was also a member of amfAR's Board of Directors from 1991 to 2004. In 2000, Staley launched a web site called AIDSmeds.com, offering complete and easy-to-read treatment information for people living with HIV. Since then, AIDSmeds.com has become one of the most popular HIV-related sites on the Web, and it merged with POZ Magazine and POZ.com in 2006. In January, 2004, Staley launched a personal ad campaign to bring much needed attention to an epidemic of crystal meth use among gay men. Using $7,000 of his own money, he placed six phone booth kiosk ads in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York that said "Huge Sale, Buy Crystal, Get HIV Free!" Within days, the ads, along with the issues they raised, became a major news story, with coverage in The New York Times and on all three local TV stations. Two months later, New York City appropriated the first government funds anywhere in the U.S. targeting meth prevention for gay men. Other cities and states soon followed. According to ongoing CDC HIV surveillance studies, meth use among gay men in New York City fell from 14% in 2004 to 6% in 2008. Staley is a leading subject in the Oscar-nominated documentary "How To Survive A Plague," directed by David France.
