This was typified by his work as the German voice of Jerry Lewis in over thirty films across three decades. Gentzen also dubbed Ringo Starr in A Hard Day's Night and Help!, Peter Lorre in Casablanca and the Mr. Moto series, David Warner in Tom Jones, Austin Pendleton in Catch-22, Cyril Shaps in Lawrence of Arabia, and Eddie Deezen in Grease. In the dubs of the British Carry On! comedies, Gentzen dubbed the often snide Kenneth Williams in the earliest entries, then transitioned to supporting player Charles Hawtrey before dubbing Williams again in the 1980s. Animation credits included Cowslip in Watership Down, Squealer in the 1950s Animal Farm, and such Disney roles as Ludwig Von Drake, The Reluctant Dragon, and the fox in Mary Poppins. When Gentzen died, Andreas von der Meden, who played Kermit in Sesamstrasse and alternated with Gentzen in films, took over full-time as the frog.
