His film debut was in "in Penny Points to Paradise" in 1951, followed by "Down Among the Z Men" in 1952 and "The Sister Killer" in 1955. He was performing these exaggerations almost throughout the 1950sIt was not until he played a labor leader in "I'm All Right Back" (1959) that he took his acting career to a new level and started his own magnificent performance in the 1960s. In 1962, he played two roles in Stanley Kubrick 's " Lolita ", playing the playboy Clare Quilty and Dr. Zempf. In 1964, in " Dr. Strange-love " , also directed by Kubrick , he took on the performance of the three protagonists alone and was nominated for the first Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role . But starting with his failed performance in Woody Allen 's screenwriting debut " What's New, Pussycat " (1965), he starred in the Pink Naughty Panther series in the 70s purely for economic reasons . In 1972, he read Jerzy Kosinski's novel "Being There" and determined to put it on the screen, which was " Being There " seven years later . Peter Sellers won an Oscar nomination for this film. , This film is a well-known political satire comedy in the late 1970s, and it is also his last posthumous work-in 1980, Peter Sellers passed away in the second year after the film was completed. And the film " The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu " that he directed and starred in was proved to be another failed film.
