RIP Herbert Lom

[Petseal]

I was surprised to find out that there was no mention here of the death of Herbert Lom, September 27, 2012, who was 95!
His portrayal of Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus, long-suffering superior of Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers), in the Blake Edwards' Pink Panther films was absolutely brilliant!
RIP Herbert, hope you and Peter enjoy your rewards!

Wow, I hadn't heard of this at all.

That guy had me in stitches, GASPING for air, during his portrayals of Chief Inspector Dreyfus in the Panther films.

Huge loss.

Had no idea! RIP Chief Inspector.

Brilliant straight man/foil to Sellers' Clouseau!


I'll never forget the "nails on the blackboard" torture scene from "The Pink Panther Strikes Again."
