Vicco von Bülow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernhard Victor Christoph Carl von Bülow (short: Vicco von Bülow, or Loriot, born November 12, 1923 in Brandenburg an der Havel), more commonly known under the pseudonym Loriot, is a German humorist, graphic artist and director, actor and writer.
He is most famous for his cartoons, the sketches from his 1976 television series Loriot, alongside Evelyn Hamann, and his two movies, Ödipussi (1988) and Pappa ante portas (1991).
The name "Loriot" is derived from the French word for the Oriole, his family's heraldic animal.
