ACTOR WHO HAVE PORTRAYED DRACULA

(update)

Earlier I made 2 posts listing 39 actor who have played Dracula in Movies or TV from 1922 to the current day. I didn’t quite list them in order and the perfectionist in me wanted to do the list over. I also decided to do more research and uncover more actors who have played the Count. My new list includes 63 actors but I don’t think any list will be definitive - for instance, I exclude a couple of porn stars.

Here are few of caveats to my list: (1) since “Nosferatu” was an unauthorized film based on Dracula, I have included all other remakes of the film; (2) occasionally a film will include a vampire only called “The Count” - if the film includes other elements on Stokers novel, I’ve included the actor here; (3) at the end of the list I have included a TV show and movie in development based stoker’s novel. (4) if I ever attempt to update this list, I’ll only tag new names at the end - it’s too complicated to resequenced the photos.
