Note: The Internet Movie Database currently lists 147 movie and TV portrayals of "Dracula," and 65 of "Vlad." Bram Stoker's novel Dracula has never been out of print since it first hit late Victorians in 1897.
7-15-05: Well, I just updated and kicked out all of the dead links. There were a lot! I had intended to have four links per actor, but I'm worn out. I think I'll write my own blurb for each Drac and put a link to it instead. At least that way I'll know it isn't dead. So, coming soon will be a little something-something from me on each of the below Dracs. Don't get too excited ... when I say soon, I mean it in the most-probably-before-2010 sense.
