Peter Lorre Fast Facts:

Left Germany in 1933 when the Nazis came to power to avoid persecution; his image was later depicted in the Nazi propaganda film Der Ewige Jude.
Most frequent costar was Sydney Greenstreet, with whom he appeared in nine films.
His nickname was "Lazzy," a diminutive of his real first name László.
His distinctive, raspy voice has been frequently caricatured.
His daughter, Catharine, was nearly abducted by serial killers Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono (the Hillside Stranglers); they released her after learning she was the daughter of Peter Lorre.
