Herbert Lom passed away yesterday at age 95. The Czech-born British actor, an expert in caddish suavity, is best-remembered for his role as the unhinged Chief Inspector Dreyfus in the Pink Panther films. That's not to mention his innumerable villain roles: the title character in The Phantom of the Opera (1962), and assorted baddies in Groggy favorites The Ladykillers, North West Frontier, El Cid and Spartacus.
RIP to this marvelous character actor.
