Peter Falk wasn't too far removed from the character he played. In real life, he tended to be rumpled and disheveled, and was forever misplacing things. He often had to get a ride home from the studio after losing his car keys. He had a Master's degree in Public Administration from Syracuse University, which led to him working for the State of Connecticut's Budget Bureau as an efficiency expert until he went into acting. He was also used to being underestimated due to his appearance. He'd lost his right eye to cancer at age three, and many of his college drama teachers warned him of his limited chances in the movies due to his uneven stare. After a screentest at "Columbia Pictures," Harry Cohn dismissed him by saying, "For the same price, I can get an actor with two eyes."
