message: Hi:
Truly, does the Pink Panther series merit only a sentence in this man's biography?

message: The main text gives the last part of his full name as "ze Schluderpacheru," but the text box to the right gives it as "von Schluderbacheru." I can understand that "ze" may be the Czech equivalent of "von," but why the different spelling of the last word? Wbkelley (talk) 02:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: His parents were definitely not Jewish by religion. According to this, his mother's side had Jewish ancestry of an unspecified sort. His father wasn't Jewish at all, it appears. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 03:37, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

message: "Czech-born thespian (commonly styled actor)"
Really? A thespian (commonly styled actor)? Are thespians commonly styled actors? Or are they usually just called actors? Are you foreign? Is English a second language for you? Are you and idiot? Or is this just some kind of clever joke on the clueless dumbbells that one finds lurking around wikipedia pages? I think it must be some kind of joke and a pretty good one too. Subtle enough so that a human has to think twice and way too subtle for Cluebot to identify as vandalism. My hat is off to you.75.157.135.57 (talk) 10:04, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Hewidiot, it appears (after examining the history) that there are others who find the use of 'thespian' a little pretentious. Such usages are an impediment to communication and meant mostly to flatter the author's ego. 'Complex thoughts, simply expressed' is always a good motto. And shame on you for calling attention to my typo in defense of your pretensions. That ad hominem remark has caused me to undoff my hat: you are nothing but a half-clever poseur.75.157.135.57 (talk) 06:48, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

message: I added the word 'suave' to better describe his various portrayal of criminals. These were far from the uncouth louts ubiquitous on screen at the time. Think 'The Frightened City' or 'Passport to Shame' in which films he both appears as a Savile Row-suited, debonair mastermind. And there are others. Lom never played a thug.
