He was a great straight man to Peter Sellers in those films.

RIP. I still use the twitching left eye gag every time something goes “awry”, just as a joke; unfortunately it also happens every time I see or hear the jug-eared moron...

Pink Panther Theme Song (Mancini)

Another gem that Lom and Sellers were both in was the original "Ladykillers" movie (1955).

I also remember him fondly as Capt Nemo in “Mysterious Island” (1961)

He was also the PHANTOM of the Opera in 1962.

Lom made the PP movies work. Without Lom’s slow (and sometimes not-so-slow) burns, Sellers wouldn’t have been as effective in those films. I was always bracing for the next incident in which “Dreyfus” would accidentally cut off his own finger or shoot off the tip of his nose while fuming at Clouseau.

Favorite scene:

[after an incident involving a blind beggar]

Dreyfus: The beggar was the lookout for the gang.
Clouseau: That is impossible. How can a blind man be a lookout?
Dreyfus: How can an idiot be a policeman? Answer me that!
Clouseau: Simple. All he has to do is enlist...
Dreyfus: Shut up!

Loved that man.

In a lot of ways, Lom was funnier than Sellers. He also did the definitive Napoleon. RIP to a very talented actor.
