He played a great Van Helsing alongside Lee's Dracula. Rest in Peace Herb.

I love character actors for being character actors - they seem more skillful and talented than "stars" because they seem to be more "chameleon-like." You can put a character actor in anything and they morph into that person.
I've enjoyed seeing him pop through my favorite movies for a long time... always where he's supposed to be. I think he came closest to star when he played in "The Pink Panther" films, and that they were definitely his funniest.
But I love him for his appearances in epics.

Never heard of him.

I just rented The Dead Zone (1983) again over the weekend; haven't watched it in years. One of Lom's rare sympathetic roles, playing Christopher Walken's kindly doctor and confidant.

He was only kindly because Walken didn't call him a minkey. stick out tongue
