No question about it, Peter Ustinov was one of "the greats" and among the last of truely talented performers.  Aside from his roles listed by Wayne above, I would like to add:

Old Man - Logan's Run
Friedrich, der Weise - Luther
Prince John / King Richard (voice of) - Robin Hood (Disney)
Blackbeard's Ghost - Blackbeard's Ghost
Kaptah - The Egyptian
Lentulus Batiatus - Sparticus

Of course his credits go far beyond my listing but his gift was such that he could play any role and perform it with genius.  Fare well Peter and I hope they do indeed put your final wish on your headstone "Keep off the grass."

Pure Genius.
