It's weird how popular he was.

Henry Stewart

Brody Wilson
Don't forget that he was an Austro-Hungarian Jew who began his career in German cinema before the Nazis came to power
His first big role was in Fritz Lang's M as a child serial killer
Alexander Butler
His voice just never leaves
Dominic Jenkins
When I was young I always thought that was supposed to be Steve Buscemi.
I wasn't a clever child.
Gabriel Williams
To be fair, he appears often enough and caricatured enough you'd could tell he was based of a famous person bit unless you were the one kid that really enjoyed old black and white horror movies or Casablanca, you'd probably not know who he is.
Andrew Anderson
Isnt it interesting how so many of our modern cartoon references are from the 40s?
Kayden Edwards
>Isnt it interesting how so many of our modern cartoon references are from the 40s?
It's more like our cartoons reference older cartoons that reference older cartoons that reference older cartoons that referenced something contemporary.
It's like a telephone game with a little bit getting lost in each translation. Ultimately, Peter Lorre is transformed into Boo Berry.
Juan Torres

Oliver Sanders
Is Peter Lorre the most imitated real person in all of cartoons?
Gavin Cooper
Adam West and Shatner are up there.
Juan Sanders
And Lugosi and Vincent Price, obviously.
Asher Myers

I found out through Toonheads
Leo Young
>Forgetting Arnold Schwarzenegger.
C'mon, ladies!
Lincoln Turner
Samuel Thompson
I'm surprised this movie isn't more often mentioned in those "childhood nightmare fuel" threads
Well beyond the clown part.
Matthew Phillips
I find it weird I don't think I've seen a single live action movie of his, but I've seen parodies of him dozens of times.
Chase Martin
>never seen Casablanca or The Maltese Falcon
Dude. You need to fix that. Also, he's really funny in Arsenic and Old Lace. His movies with Vincent Price are pretty fun too.
Landon Johnson
Oh shit that was him? The characatures gave me a different impression of the dude
Christian Rivera
probably because B-movie and Worthless have a cool rock-opera vibe more so than just being outright spooky.
and in the actual flick Worthless is ruined by constant cuts to the TV trying to get the master's attention...
Leo Hill
Wasn't there a character based on him in the stop motion Frankenweenie too?
Justin Lopez
Fuck I forgot he was in Maltese Falcon!
Welp, sounds like a good excuse to watch it again
William Miller
I don't think exactly.
But really any Igor character is doing a bit of Peter Lorre
Aaron Baker
>voice
It's funny.
His voice has become such a cliche, used time and time again, that I'm sure that when creators use it now they don't even know who they are referencing. Well, maybe not, but certainly 99.99% of viewers (especially kids watching toons) would firstly have no idea who he was (fair enough; they're still young) but secondly they will grow up never knowing what all this shit and the funny creepy voice was referencing.
Same goes for all those Marx Brothers gags.
Isaac Flores
One incident that came to mind a few years ago was when I was watching the english dub of cowboy bebop.
Some tinfoil hat expert character was on the news during that satellite AI drawing those nazca lines on earth had a Lorre-voice.
Pops up in strange places.
John Watson
He's just the figurehead of a stereotype I guess.
Like how Arnold Swarzenegger is why often bodybuilder guys in shows or cartoons are all German/Austrian sounding.
Nicholas Howard

Logan Russell
beat me to it
Jonathan Phillips
Peter Lorre is a legend. Responsible for one of the greatest acted scenes in cinema.
Carson Phillips
>not M
Isaac Thomas
higher quality than your link
youtube.com
but yes great scene
Luke Brown
WB Animation sure did love Lorre
Luke Sanders

Austin Sullivan

Eli Gray
A rare Timothy Dalton-Peter Lorre scene
Christian Mitchell
holy shit
Leo Smith
Peter Lorre is Cute! CUTE!
Matthew Bell
Christopher Walken?
Nathan Ward
B-Movie isn't scary. Air Conditioner is scary.
Xavier Collins
Wow I'd never heard him speak german before.
That was magnificent.
I can't imagine what a 30's audience could've been fucking thinking watching that performance during that scene in the theatre.
>jeepers, creepers, where'd you get dem peepers
>jeepers, creepers, where'd you get dem eyes
Them Lorre eyes.
Another trope to themselves.
Aaron Long
Steve Buscemi?
Jack Rodriguez

Hudson Fisher

Angel Foster

Austin Wright
dude, most of that shit was "literary who" even when i was a fucking kid in the 80s! i doubt kids would even care, they just think the voice is funny
the ONLY time i seen it was via those loonytunes shorts
Hudson Perez
Why do we live in a world with TWO blue ghosts that sound like Peter Lorre? What are the odds of this?
Did Peter Lorre ever even star a ghost film?
Luke Thompson
...
Jack Price
...
Levi Edwards
I thinks it's all parodies/references of references/parodies now.
Jordan Howard
Is Zombie Pumpkin really supposed to sound like Peter Lorre?
Julian Hughes
holy shit
it's weird but even though I was reading the subtitles I felt like I was hearing what Lorre was saying directly. is that "acting"? I've never seen any foreign stuff that has that effect before.
Jacob Sanders
...
Christopher Jackson
Perfect reaction image material
Kevin Nelson
>is that "acting"?
Lorre was a pretty great actor whenever he was allowed to play parts other than "quirky ambiguously foreign guy."
Which isn't to say he was bad at that. Joel Cairo's one of the best parts of The Maltese Falcon. And he's barely in Casablanca, but he's so memorable you end up thinking he has a much bigger role.
Landon Sanchez
Igor just has a really close association to "spooky" so everyone does it.
William Watson
He reminds me of Micheal Shannon in the picture.
Christopher Cook
...
Aiden Collins
>I just not an American.
Neither was he.
Asher James
Shannon's got those heavy eyelids too.
But he's not as adorable as young Peter Lorre. Who is prime husbando material. If you're into tiny Hungarian Jews with mournful expressions. Like I am.

Blake Long
Its threads like these that make me stay on Sup Forums.
For all its shit, I can appreciate anywhere that can give love to this gift of a man.
Seriously, everyone recognizes his face and voice, but if you ask for his name its all blank stares and 'that creepy guy'.
Owen Wilson
Peter Lorre and cartoons both share the fact that they're unserrated and great
Anthony Parker
One of the more famous Hungarian immigrant actors next to Bela Lugosi (Dracula). He did some films back in Hungary (his most famous stars him as a Pedophile, hence his reference about bubbles in one of the Looney Toons shorts), used his position in Hollywood to immigrate his Jewish family out of Europe when WWII was brewing, did alot of horror films and other non-horror films, and just like Lugosi and Karloff, are well known for their accent when talking. For Lorre it was also his unique face, but most of it is just caricature more than anything.
Wyatt Anderson
God know, I coudln't even think to begin with how many famous folks are easily impersonated. Older ones would be like Jimmy Durante (A-Cha-Cha-Cha), Cab Calloway and his high energetic voice, and Vincent Price.
Cooper Fisher
Nah, review brah has a baby face
Christopher Parker
Damn, I didn't remember the songs being that GOAT
David Parker
When you get really famous and well loved, you never truly die.
Robert Gomez
Probably both the artists loving his caricature and everyone else enjoying Mel Blanc's impersonation of him.
Mason Turner
why does he look so much like sander cohen?
Evan Hernandez
This mofo isn't on top of the list, but he's certainly high tier.
Aaron White
Do video games count?
Jack Walker
I found this. It was recorded on a potato, and has some added sound effects, but it has two of the most imitated characters of the time together.
Brayden Jenkins
He doesn't. Cohen's design was based on Salvador Dali.
Leo Mitchell
Price And Lorre were a great team.
David Hill
Well the saying goes that you're only truly dead when you're forgotten.
