Peter Sellers, CBE (born Richard Henry Sellers; 8 September 1925 – 24 July 1980) was an English film actor, comedian and singer. He performed in the BBC Radio comedy series The Goon Show, featured on a number of hit comic songs and became known to a world-wide audience through his many film characterisations, among them Chief Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther series of films.
Born in Portsmouth, Sellers made his stage debut at the Kings Theatre, Southsea, when he was two weeks old. He began accompanying his parents in a variety act that toured the provincial theatres. He first worked as a drummer and toured around England as a member of the Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA). He developed his mimicry and improvisational skills during a spell in Ralph Reader's wartime Gang Show entertainment troupe, which toured Britain and the Far East. After the war, Sellers made his radio debut in ShowTime, and eventually became a regular performer on various BBC radio shows. During the early 1950s, Sellers, along with Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Michael Bentine, took part in the successful radio series The Goon Show, which ended in 1960.

Plot: The professional and personal life of actor and comedian 'Peter Sellers (I)' (qv) was a turbulent one. His early movie fame was based primarily on his comic characterizations, often of bumbling and foreign-accented persons, characters which he embodied. As his movie fame rose, he began to lose his own personal identity to his movie characters, leading to self-doubt of himself as a person and a constant need for reassurance and acceptance of his work. This self-doubt manifested itself in fits of anger and what was deemed as arrogance by many. In turn, his personal relationships began to deteriorate as his characterizations were continually used to mask his problems. His first wife, Anne Howe, left/divorced him and his relationships with his parents and children became increasingly distant. His relationship with his second wife, Swedish actress 'Britt Ekland' (qv), was based on this mask. In his later life, he tried to rediscover himself and his career with what would become his penultimate film role, that of Chance in _Being There (1979)_ (qv).

More than 10 minutes of outtakes from the Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers. I edited these together from many different tv-shows. Some of them have never been put on youtube and many of them I've put on youtube a few years ago (somebody stole it and my own account got deleted). However, this is the definitive video with all outtakes I've found so far. I'll make a second part when I find other ones.

Very rare piece, this has never been re-broadcast. Behind the scenes interviews with Peter Sellers during the making of The Magic Christian. http://cinearchive.org/post/46177183333 "A weird 1969 Peter Sellers documentary, made to promote The Magic Christian, including appearances by Ringo, Paul and Linda, and John. Most of these appearances are in segment 3. The documentary was never repeated by the BBC, possibly due to the fact that Peter Sellers thought he came across as depressed. Spike Milligan narrates and dissects Peter's persona in the process. A word of warning: The documentary includes strong scenes (bullfight, open heart surgery, nudity) and language. Peter Sellers lived for 11 more years after this documentary. On 22 July 1980 Sellers collapsed from a massive heart attack in h...

In this interview from 1978, actor Peter Sellers talks about various jobs he held in the theater while young, touring with Ralph Reed after his time in the RAF, performing with Harry Seacombe, turning down the role of Faigin in the 1948 film Oliver Twist so that Alec Guiness could do it on screen as he did on stage and his friendship with Cary Grant. Among Peter Sellers best-known performances are those as Inspector Jacques Clouseau in the Pink Panther films: The Pink Panther, Return of the Pink Panther and Pink Panther Strikes Again. From 1974 to 2000, Canada’s Brian Linehan conducted thousands of in-depth interviews with the greatest actors and directors from over 60 years of film history. His programs City Lights and Linehan have not been seen since they first aired and are now availa...

Video piece number 46. Made for the Vimeo Weekend Project "Shooting an Interview" in 2013 instead of doing the housework in Inverness. For non commercial purposes only. This script for this short film was written 9 months ago as a follow up to Sarah and I's Farewell Happy Fields - https://vimeo.com/47648247 - but due to circumstance, was never filmed until now. The idea came from my desire to write a love story with some kind of strange quirk. I like that the film follows an established logic that makes absolutely no sense in reality whatsoever. It was shot over a 4 hours in our flat in Inverness on 19th May 2013. I filmed all my solo scenes in the afternoon while Sarah was at work then we filmed everything else in the evening. All my scenes were reversed and subtitled and the shots where...
