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

His voice just never leaves

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.

Isnt it interesting how so many of our modern cartoon references are from the 40s?

>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.

Is Peter Lorre the most imitated real person in all of cartoons?

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.

>>90185314
Oh shit that was him? The characatures gave me a different impression of the dude

>>90187426
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...

Wasn't there a character based on him in the stop motion Frankenweenie too?

I don't think exactly.
But really any Igor character is doing a bit of Peter Lorre

>>90185335
>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.

>>90189388
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.

>>90189454
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.

>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.

>>90192566
Igor just has a really close association to "spooky" so everyone does it.

Its threads like these that make me stay on /co/.

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'.

>>90183997
Peter Lorre and cartoons both share the fact that they're unserrated and great

>>90184183
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.

>>90186818
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.

Phil Silvers was impersonated a lot in Hanna Barbera and Jay Ward cartoons.
For those that don't remember what he sounds like, just look up Hokey Wolf, and to a lesser extent, yet more well known, Top Cat.

>>90190715

His accent and his face made him perfect for caricature.

>>90187909
He became a more lovable figure in his later career, like Vincent Price or Christopher Lee. His presence was familiar and reassuring rather than frightening or affronting as in his early films.

Did anyone see The Raven? It's cheap and not great but it does have Boris Karloff and Vincent Price having a wizard battle.

This is something about Looney Tunes: Back in Action that always bothered me, for some reason. I kind of get the impression that the people that made this movie weren't aware that that "funny little Looney Tunes character" was a caricature of a real life celebrity.

>>90186419
The stereotypical dumb cartoon character voice that you still hear today used by characters like Patrick Star comes from a really old reference.

In 1939 Tex Avery went to the movies and saw the then contemporary version of 'Of Mice and Men' starring Lon Chaney Jr as Lenny.

He thought Lon Chaneys voice was funny so he made a cartoon starring a dumb dog with the same voice, even asking calling a fox 'George'

Like Lorre, this became a favourite stock character at WB and was used many times over until it permeated pop culture and became the go-to dumb voice and has been used so often people don't know where it originated.

Speaking of Karloff, he's far more imitated than Vincent Price.

I think the best tidbit about Mr. Moto movies is that one of them is literally just a rewritten rejected Charlie Chan script, and even as you watch it, it's so blatantly obvious that the writer just slapped Mr. Moto's name into the story and called it off for the rest of the day.

Ah, Mr. Moto. How bizarre is it that there was a small trend with oriental detectives in the 30s and 40s, and you even had Boris Karloff do a bad yellow face serial of a chinese detective called Mr. Wong.
