Which actor played TGS producer Pete Hornberger on 30 Rock?

Scott Adsit played TGS producer Pete Hornberger on 30 Rock.

Pete Hornberger is the grounded, quick-witted producer of TGS with Tracy Jordan, the fictional live sketch show at the center of 30 Rock. He often acts as Liz Lemon’s practical ally while revealing that his apparently stable personal life is considerably more chaotic than it first appears.

Adsit was a longtime friend of Tina Fey, and the character was written with aspects of Adsit in mind. Before 30 Rock, Adsit was known for improvisational comedy and work with Chicago’s Second City, experience that suited the series’ ensemble and fast, performance-driven style.

Pete is part of the show’s main ensemble alongside Fey, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer, and Judah Friedlander. His role is sometimes confused with other TGS staff members, including writers Frank Rossitano and James “Toofer” Spurlock, played by Judah Friedlander and Keith Powell. Adsit appeared throughout the series, which aired seven seasons on NBC from 2006 to 2013.
