| Lorre Lookalike | comment |
Peter Lorre (1904-1964) was a Hungarian-born character actor popular during The Golden Age of Hollywood. Although best known nowadays for playing Joel Cairo in The Maltese Falcon and Signor Ugarte in Casablanca, his contemporary claims to fame were the German Expressionist film M, Alfred Hitchcock thrillers like The Man Who Knew Too Much, and horror films with Roger Corman and Vincent Price. Like many other Golden Age stars, Lorre was a ripe target for caricature by the animators of the time, which was greatly helped by his distinct appearance and demeanor. His slight build, large eyes, and soft-spoken tone made characters based on him immediately recognizable to audiences, even when exaggerated to grotesque proportions. As a Stock Parody archetype, Lorre Lookalikes have long outlasted Lorre himself, with new ones being made well into the 21st century. As the films he starred in have largely faded from the general public consciousness, he's increasingly suffered from Parody Displacement, with hardly anyone outside of classic cinephiles knowing that these reedy-voiced, weepy-eyed characters are based on a real actor. Tim Burton admitted he didn't even know Peter Lorre's name when he first created the character of Maggot for Corpse Bride.note Which seems odd— as a big Vincent Price fan you'd think he must have seen Tales of Terror, The Raven (1963) or The Comedy of Terrors!He's also been largely Lost in Imitation, with most later parodies being based on those by Looney Tunes — Mel Blanc's impression of his voice in "Hair-Raising Hare" and his appearance in Tex Avery's "Hollywood Steps Out" being the most common sources. A typical Lorre Lookalike can best be recognized by his face: he has large, bulbous, Dreary Half-Lidded Eyes, which are often a bit wall-eyed too. He typically has large Gag Lips, Goofy Buckteeth, persistent Overly-Nervous Flop Sweat on his brow, and the hair on his head is greased back or parted down the middle. His build is usually slender and always short. He speaks in a raspy, reedy, half-whispering voice, tinged with a nondescript European accent. Works taking cues from his noir roles may portray him as an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain, with Ambiguously Gay affection for a boss who's typically patterned after Lorre's regular co-star Sydney Greenstreet. Works in need of a horror villain often make him a Mad Scientist à la Dr. Gogol in Mad Love, or pastiche it with his villainous lackey roles and make him The Igor or The Renfield (though the real Lorre never played such a role). Comedic works may give him the latter role in a Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey duo, but more serious works may make him a Soft-Spoken Sadist, with leering, lewd, and uncanny behavior that drives up his creep factor to eleven. The Lorre Lookalike has not been without a fraught legal history. The first person to take advantage of it was German-born actor Eugene Weingand, who banked on his resemblance to Lorre to pass himself off as Lorre's son, even changing his name to "Peter Lorie Jr." in 1963. The real Peter Lorre filed legal injunction to stop the name change, though Weingand would appeal and overturn it after Lorre's death a year later. He had a brief period of professional success under the name "Peter Lorre Jr.," but a second lawsuit—this time from Peter's brother Andrew Lorre—stopped it for good. Several decades later, in 2017, the Lorre estate filed a cease and desist against Warner Brothers using Lorre's likeness; while it is unclear how it will affect the rerelease of classic Looney Tunes shorts featuring Lorre Lookalikes, this will likely put an end to any appearances in future cartoons. A subtrope of No Celebrities Were Harmed and Stock Parodies. See Maurice Chevalier Accent, Shirley Template, Charlie Chaplin Shout-Out, Mr. Alt Disney, and Mumbling Brando for other parodies of Golden Age Hollywood, as well as Looks Like Cesare and Looks Like Orlok for Expies of other German expressionist characters. Also compare with Karloff Kopy, another trope covering stand-ins for an iconic actor famous for dabbling in the horror genre. |

Overdrawn at the Memory Bank: After an accident at a rehab clinic results in programmer Aram Fingal getting his consciousness uploaded to Novicorp's central computer, then he uses his programming skill to reshape his simulated environment into recreations of his favorite classic movies, primarily Casablanca. Naturally, there's an expy of Lorre's character Ugarte—who has a bigger role here than in the original Casablanca, hanging around for the entire movie before pulling a Heroic Sacrifice just before the climax. | |

The Simpsons: In "Homer Simpson In: 'Kidney Trouble'," there's a Lorre Lookalike (albeit a Downplayed example, with his only exaggerated feature being somewhat larger eyes) aboard the Ship of Lost Souls who is constantly in an existential crisis. In "The Burns Cage," Springfield Elementary puts on a production of Casablanca. Ralph plays the part of Ugarte; when he quotes the line "You despise me, don't you?" and does a (poor) Peter Lorre impression, his eyes are drawn as larger than normal. |

Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: "Birth of a Notion": A Lorre Lookalike is a Mad Scientist who, when Daffy Duck cons his way into his house, conspires to kill him and use his wishbone as part of an arcane scientific experiment. "Boston Quackie": The Consul of West Slobovia at the end of the short is a Lorre Lookalike, with half-lidded eyes, a short build (he's about as tall as Daffy), thinning hair, and a Lorre-esque accent. "Carrotblanca": Tweety Bird takes the role of Signor Ugarte, with his appearance changing to include exaggerated eyelids, forehead wrinkles, buckteeth, a Brief Accent Imitation, and a sleazy demeanor when he directly references some of Lorre's lines. "Hair-Raising Hare": The Mad Scientist who wants to catch Bugs Bunny and feed him to the monster is one, and is notably the first time Mel Blanc voiced him. "Hollywood Steps Out": The Trope Codifier. Lorre's appearance in this—fish-eyed, fat-lipped, buck-toothed, and greasy-haired—served as the template for nearly every other Lorre Lookalike Looney Tunes would do, as well as many other creators' parodies. "Horton Hatches the Egg": A Lorre Lookalike fish sees Horton the elephant being carried by a boat, remarks "Well, now I've seen everything!" and promptly shoots himself. "Racketeer Rabbit": Hugo the gangster is a Lorre Lookalike who serves as Rocky (an Expy of Edward G. Robinson)'s diminutive and effete partner in crime. |

A very similar voice is used for the counterpart of Bruno in the Strangers on a Train parody, even though Bruno wasn't played by Lorre and Robert Walker didn't sound like that at all. But it still gets across "classic black and white movie villain" pretty efficiently. | |

Toht, one of Nazi villains of Raiders of the Lost Ark, seems to have been loosely modeled on Lorre's villainous characters, being a short, round-faced Soft-Spoken Sadist. The real Peter Lorre did play Nazi villains from time to time, in films like The Cross Of Lorraine and All Through the Night. note Most Hollywood Nazis from the War era were in fact refugees fleeing the real Nazis, taking the roles in part to spread awareness about what was happening in Europe. Peter Lorre, a Hungarian Jew, was a prime example. | |

He usually plays second fiddle to his father, King Koopa, and shares many of Lorre's mannerisms. | |

Mr. and Mrs. J. Evil Scientist: The eponymous Mr. Scientist, a short and sleepy-eyed Mad Scientist, is based on Lorre—specifically, a character he played on a skit in The Red Skelton Show that was a cross between Gomez Addams and Ralph Kramden. They were originally side characters in Snooper and Blabber, but briefly got their own show. It was cancelled shortly after, but the character designs were recycled for other Hanna-Barbera cartoons: The Flintstones and The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show as Mr. and Mrs. Gruesome, the Flintstones' eerie neighbors. Laff-A-Lympics as Mr. and Mrs. Creeply. The New Fred and Barney Show as Mr. and Mrs. Ghoulstone, thus making them a recycling of a recycling. |

He appears a few more times as The Renfield to Nosferatu, even getting A Day in the Limelight in the episode "Slappy Daze." Slappy would become a recurring character in The Patrick Star Show, being a dedicated fan of Patrick's show, as well as generally showing up in random places.

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme: The "foreign guy" who works for the Big Bad in the Noir Episode sounds like Lorre. And his boss, of course, sounds like Sydney Greenstreet. A very similar voice is used for the counterpart of Bruno in the Strangers on a Train parody, even though Bruno wasn't played by Lorre and Robert Walker didn't sound like that at all. But it still gets across "classic black and white movie villain" pretty efficiently. |

The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries: The episode "The Maltese Canary" is (unsurprisingly) a parody of The Maltese Falcon, with a Lorre Lookalike resembling the one from "Hair-Raising Hare" standing in for Lorre's role. | |

The Brave Little Toaster: The ceiling lamp in Elmo St. Peters' stock room, who ominously warns the protagonists that he disassembles appliances for parts and taunts their hopes for escape, is a Lorre Lookalike (with Phil Hartman doing the Peter Lorre impression) with droopy eyes and gap teeth. | |

The Great Game: Two of the villains are Gottfried Kaspar and his obsequious servant Ugarti, based on Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre's characters from The Maltese Falcon (with Urgarti's name coming from Lorre's character in Casablanca). | |

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers: One of Fat Cat (a Fat Bastard villain partially inspired by Sydney Greenstreet)'s mooks is a droopy-eyed lizard named Wart who sounds like Peter Lorre. | |
