I know that if Jonathan hadn't tried for the role, and not worked for Dan Curtis, Dark Shadows would have folded. The new character, Barnabas Collins, as played by Jonathan Frid, gave Dark Shadows the ratings it needed in order to keep going. Jonathan plays down his role in saving the show, but we all know that he did save it! ~Janet in Canada
Interesting..All the DS Actors seem unsure Why Dark Shadows was so Successful and ENDURINGLY Popular over the decades. It must be Actors lack objectivity about their work---they are critical of themselves and Don't see the "magic" they made.
