"I Love You, Alice B Toklas" featured which actor as a hippie lawyer?

“I Love You, Alice B. Toklas!” featured Peter Sellers as a hippie lawyer. He plays Harold Fine, a buttoned-up Los Angeles attorney whose carefully arranged life begins to unravel after he encounters the counterculture.

Released in 1968, the comedy was directed by Paul Mazursky and co-written by Mazursky and Larry Tucker. Harold is preparing to marry his secretary when a chain of events introduces him to Nancy, a free-spirited young hippie played by Leigh Taylor-Young. A batch of marijuana-laced brownies helps push Harold toward his sudden fascination with hippie life.

The joke is not that Sellers starts as a professional hippie. Harold begins as a conventional lawyer and gradually adopts the look, language, and lifestyle associated with the late-1960s counterculture. That distinction explains the question’s wording: Sellers plays a lawyer who becomes hippie-minded, rather than a lawyer whose job is connected to hippies.

The film is also part of Sellers’s broad comic-acting legacy, alongside his later Inspector Clouseau performances in the “Pink Panther” films.
