i went to four ds festvals in 97 99 01 and 03 and i never had the privilege of meeting jonathan but won an autographed picture of him at an auction. he started going to the festivals again i guess in 08. may he rip.
I was a young child when Jonathan played Barnabas. My friends and I would all gather in front of our black and white TVs and intently watch Dark Shadows. We would never realize what a great actor he was until our later years. You made my childhood, Mr. Frid. Thank you.
Nice poem story writings. I'm learning a lot from it, especially whenever I've keep rewinding it.
His speech, that is.
Wonderful video love it
Great strong poetic poem speech as from JF. He's speech much of took an influential following effects from DS, and probably even from the 1972 TV movie, "Seizure".
...wonderful...so wonderful...simply mesmerizing!
Jonathan certainly enjoyed performing scenes from Richard III. His passion and enthusiasm is mesmerizing...and the way he used that marvelous voice! Thank you for posting this wonderful segment, themovielady.
Thank you so much for posting this! So many of us would like to have been there in person but could not.
Very cool. I still remember following Mr Frid somewhere online where me mentioned that he had fallen and was injured shortly before he passed.
What a wonderfully talented shakeperian actor!
Re: Shakespeare and Theatre- that man was a student!
I think this would have been tuff to watch in person....
years ago I went to his website as he was the person I so admired as a child. But I found him really really rude to people who were writing to him they were fans of his role as Barnabas and he would only comment if they wrote about him as a Shakespeare actor. I was so surprised. And he really lost me as a fan.
too bad, Frid was much more than just a daytime vampire and he was human so maybe you caught him on a bad day.
I wish I had caught him on a bad day. I never wrote to him. I looked at all the posts that was on his website from so many people over a very long period and it was the same again and again. And it was to expect that people would adore him for the only role he was really known for. But everyone who dared to tell him how much they loved him in that role got a very rude answer back and as you can understand it was not what I had expected. So I decided that I wouldn't say anything as it would hurt my feelings to get such an answer. I once wrote to David Selby and much to my surprise I got an email back from him which didn't seem like a copy paste note thanking me and commenting something I had written. That was more than I had ever expected and a big contrast to Frid. I know he was a human being but so are the people that was writing to him and they didn't deserve that kind of respons for trying to be nice to him. He was really really rude and not just having a bad day. I wish that was it believe me.
A lot of elderly men get grouchy, and being an actor wouldn't make any difference. I read where a couple in their 60's waited until he had finished dinner then they went over to his table and asked if he is J.F. he said no ! he 's over there ! and pointed across the room. The woman went away crying.
He was very crabby as he got older as many of us are. I followed him online somewhere, maybe his sight or some social media, I cannot remember but I was concerned that he had fallen, he said he was OK but he passed shortly after that.
