A great character actor, Herbert Lom died peacefully in his sleep today, aged 95.

Nice interview with his co-star Burt Kwouk (Kato from the Pink Panther movies) :

One of my all-time favorite roles.  95 excellent years.

Yeah, I saw this earlier.  I remember how much I loved him in those movies.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

New York Times obituary here:

Sounds like he was a charming fellow off-screen/stage.

I'm surprised he 'originated' the title role in the 'King and I'.
