Tossup
In one film, this actor invokes “long lost friends” to convince a doctor whom he mockingly calls “Toddy” to operate on a girl. In a different film, the camera pans to this actor’s rags as they trail offscreen, then back to a scholar as he laughs himself to death. This actor played a fictionalized version of himself who stops a mass shooter at a drive-in in Peter Bogdanovich’s debut film, Targets. Raymond (*) Massey replaced this actor for the screen version of Arsenic and Old Lace, in which he played a criminal who fumes at being told he resembles this actor. In a Karl Freund film, this actor disguises himself as the fez-wearing Ardath Bey in order to resurrect his long dead love Anck-es-en-Amon. For 10 points, name this prolific horror star who played Imhotep and Frankenstein’s monster. ■END■
