The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre

Appendix

Lorre Credits and Broadcast Appearances ❖ 455 Appendix Peter Lorre Credits and Broadcast Appearances Credits are only complete until they are not, which is another way of saying that documenting the stage, film, radio, and television performances of an actor is a work in progress. Special appearances, guest shots, and commitments made but not met are just a few of the wide variety of variables that prevent closure.While these credits don’t pretend to be complete, they do represent the most comprehensive and accurate inventory to date. Dates cited represent opening nights in the case of theater, release dates in the case of films, and original air dates in the case of radio and television.
