Peter Jackson is a minifigure from the theme The Lord of the Rings that makes a cameo appearance in LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game and LEGO The Hobbit: The Video Game. He is based on the director of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogy.
== Description ==
Peter Jackson features curly black hair. His light nougat face has a content expression with a black beard and mustache. The torso is brown and has a shirt printed on, with a printed jacket over it.

This version, simply known as Bree Peasant, appears as a playable character in LEGO The Hobbit and has long legs instead of the short ones.
Jackson is also featured in two other scenes in the video game. At Helm's Deep, he throws what appears to be a trophy, supposedly representing an Oscar Award, at the invading enemies. In the other, he is one of the Corsairs of Umbar waving his trophy and carrot on the ship at the end of the Paths of the Dead level.
His cameos in the first two Hobbit films also appeared in the LEGO The Hobbit video game. Jackson's first appearance is recognizable unlike An Unexpected Journey since he is not shown in Dwarf make-up. This cameo at the end of "The Greatest Kingdom in Middle-Earth" level features him holding his film camera while running away from Smaug. Jackson also reprised his role as Albert Dreary in the Bree cutscene.
