Bram Stoker's novel enjoyed considerable success at the time of its publication, but the vehicle that really propelled Dracula to worldwide fame was the staggering number of cinematic adaptations.
Dracula is still used as a model for the development of countless characters from the most varied segments. From horror, romance, and even action, Dracula is a versatile figure.
With its pale skin, sharp fangs and pointed ears or a handsome face free of stereotypical features, the bloodsucking monster has persisted as the embodiment of the vampire archetype for over a century.
I wish I could round up all the faces that played him, but that's a big list. So here are some more names that brought Dracula to life:
β’ Frank Langella (Dracula, 1979).
β’ Leslie Nielsen (Dracula, 1995).
β’ Rudolf Martin (Buffy, 2000).
β’ Gerard Butler (Dracula, 2000).
β’ George Hamilton (Dracula, 1979).
β’ Adam Sandler (Hotel Transylvania, 2012).
β’ Nicholas Cage (Renfield, 2023).
