Boris Karloff
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Boris Karloff was a film actor who was active during the 1930s. He was one of Albert Potter's idols. (AUDIO: Pier Pressure)
In 1938, Monroe Stahr told Seth Rakoff that "for a hundred more," they could've had Karloff play the lead in The Curse of the Scarab instead of Raschid Karnak. (COMIC: The Curse of the Scarab)
In 2163, Peri Brown sarcastically referred to a Roboman as "Boris Karloff". (AUDIO: Masters of Earth)
