No doubt the name Jonathan Frid will forever be associated with Barnabas Collins.
The story of Jonathan Frid is truly fascinating. He was once touted as the American Laurence Olivier and took the role of Barnabas Collins never dreaming it would ever become his most notable role ever. In fact he was to be killed off in a few episodes... but the rest is what they call "history".
Who was the man beneath the vampire's cloak? This full-length, exclusive program reveals Frid's personal and professional struggles, artistic triumphs and rise to fame in part through his own written correspondence, recited by Ian Buchanan.
Family, friends and co-workers, give fresh insights. Did you know Dick Cavett was a Yale Drama School classmate of Jonathan's.
