Edward G. Robinson was a Romanian-born American actor.
History
When Chief Wiggum dealt with a report from a person that reported liquor store robbery with an officer down he said ironically to the person "sure", and I'm Edward G. Robinson and hung up the phone.[1]
During the lawsuit between Chester J. Lampwick and Itchy & Scratchy Studios, Roger Meyers Jr. argued that animation was built on plagiarism and mentioned various entertainers and characters as examples, including Huckleberry Hound, Chief Wiggum, Yogi Bear, Andy Griffith, Edward G. Robinson, and Art Carney.[2]
He appears in the Itchy & Scratchy short, "Dogday Hellody of 1933" where he shot a dog held on trial with his submachine gun, as the jury of Scratchys didn't have time to deliberate and decided instantly to sentence him to death.[3]
