INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU
Name: Inspector Jacques Clouseau
Inspector Jacques Clouseau (later chief inspector) is a fictional detective in
Blake Edwards's Pink Panther series. In most of the films, he was played by
Peter Sellers, with one film in which he was played by Alan Arkin and one in
which he was played by an uncredited Roger Moore. In the most recent Pink
Panther film and its 2009 sequel, he is played by Steve Martin. Sellers is
widely regarded as the definitive Inspector Clouseau of pop culture by fans and
critics alike.
He is also the inspiration of the main character in a series of short animated
cartoons inspired by the titles of the feature films. Though the character in
the animated The Inspector was never given a name, he is clearly based on
Clouseau.
In many countries, such as Greece, this character's name has become synonymous
with policemen who keep making ludicrous assumptions and are utterly unable to
crack even the easiest case.
