Timeline
Lom has been taking it easy since then, though he returned to his familiar role of Commissioner Dreyfus in Son of the Pink Panther (1993). He was always a reliable and eminently watchable actor, and unfortunately did not receive the stardom he should have.
Was on the possibles list for the role of Dr. Hans Fallada in the science fiction horror film Lifeforce (1985); Frank Finlay won the role.
His career continued into the 1980s, a standout role being that of Christopher Walken's sympathetic doctor in DEAD ZONE (1983).

Lom appeared as one of the ten victims in Ein Unbekannter rechnet ab (1974), playing the drunken Dr. Edward Armstrong.
Both he and his Asylum (1972) and And Now the Screaming Starts! (1973) co-star Peter Cushing played Professor Van Helsing in films starring Christopher Lee as Count Dracula: Cushing in Horror of Dracula (1958), Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972) and The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973) and Lom in Count Dracula (1970).

His career really took off in the 1960s and he got the title role in Hammer Films' production of The Phantom of the Opera (1962).
The 1960s was also the decade in which Lom secured the role for which he will always be remembered: Clouseau/Peter Sellers' long-suffering boss, Commissioner Charles Dreyfus, in the "Pink Panther" films, in which he pulled off the not-inconsiderable feat of stealing almost every scene he and Sellers were in--a real accomplishment, considering what a veteran scene-stealer Sellers was. However, Lom did not concentrate solely on a film career. He had become a familiar face to British television viewers when he starred as Dr.
He was the last surviving member of the cast of The Ladykillers (1955).
