Listening to The Lodger again for the first time in a while(and man! I forgot how good petes performance is in it) and I got to thinking
When you guys listen to petes radio stuff do you still imagine him looking like Peter Lorre(I definitely do)
And as a bonus question for if you answered 'Yes' to the first, when you listen to Radio adaptions of Peters films, do you imagine him looking the exact same as he did in the film or slightly different?
#peter lorre#radio#the lodger#the avenger#man! this guys one of petes most genuinely unsettling characters to me#whoever voiced the newsie kid who announces the murder needs a slap on the back of the head though#why are you doing a shitty bronx accent kid?? this takes place in london you should be doing a shitty cockney accent ffs#but anyway ive been thinking about the second question cause I've noticed that pete plays all of his radio versions of character he already#played slightly differently than he portrayed them in the og film and it does kind of make me see them differently#in the radio version of c&p for example rods seems less dignified or sensitive to me#so i kind of see him as generally scragglier and a bit more gaunt#also maybe a bit older but thats more to do with when the radio version was recorded than anything#ik ive jokingly complained about cairo being turned into just some guy in the radio version of tmf#but i do kinda genuinely just imagine him looking like some dude in that version#still played by peter but with straight hair and either just a regular suit or like slacks and a button shirt#a bit like kismet or gino tbh#leyden i still see as more or less the same#i feel like of those three characters hes the least different in the radio version#hes less naive and reacts to things in general a bit more like how most people typically would#but idk he doesnt feel different enough for my mind to conjure up a radically different image of him#maybe radio show leyden wears normal ties more often idk
