It gives me the most wonderful feeling. These dear people love me so much and want to see me. The astonishing thing is that when I made the Frankenstein" and "Dracula" movies almost 30 years ago the young audiences who see me now weren`t even born yet. A ...

I stopped appearing as Dracula in 1972 because in my opinion the presentation of the character had deteriorated to such an extent, particularly bringing him into the contemporary day and age, that it really no longer had any meaning.
Christopher Lee
With acting, I started very young, and I`d performed for a lot of children in boarding schools, late at night after the dormitory lights were out. I`d have a flashlight, and I`d be Count Dracula, or Shakespeare, or Yogi Bear, and leap from bunk to bunk. I...

I guess what I`m trying to say is, it`s not Dracula crying, it`s Gary Oldman, but using the technique of the character. The emotion is mine, because I don`t know what it`s like to be undead and live 300 years.
Gary Oldman

Clifton Collins, Jr.

Richard Roxburgh

Richard Roxburgh
The role seemed to demand that I keep myself worked up to fever pitch, so I took on the actual attributes of the horrible vampire, Dracula.
Bela Lugosi
I have played Dracula a thousand times on stage and I find I have become thoroughly settled in the technique of the stage and not of the screen.
Bela Lugosi
Count Dracula had directed me to go to the Golden Krone Hotel, which I found, to my great delight, to be thoroughly old-fashioned, for of course I wanted to see all I could of the ways of the country.
