Just last light I saw a movie -- Monsieur Verdoux (1947) starring Charlie
Chaplin.  It was a sort of modern retelling of the legend of Bluebeard.
What caught my attention was, in the opening credits, the name of
Fritz Lieber crawled up the screen (it would have been a bit part.)

The question is (as all can see by now), was this THE Fritz Lieber 
or not?  Did the author of the Fafrhd and the Grey Mouser series
begin as a Hollywood character actor?  Surely there must have been
only one Fritz Lieber, or was there another?

Does anybody know?

				Thanks for the effort,
