For me Christopher Lee made the part his own , he's perfect .
Lugosi ....... well good for his time but I'm afraid he's just to over the top nowadays. Although he does retain a certain iconic quality . Louis Jordan is my second favourite from the BBCs production .......... very authentic . Palance ,no thanks it just did'nt work . Gerard butler was good , I would have liked to have seen more of him in sequels but it's probably not a good idea for an actor to get type cast . I know it hurt Lees career for a few years .
As far as Gary Oldman goes ........... he's a great actor , I loved him in JFK ....... stunning . As Dracula ? .... nope , not for me .
As I said Christopher Lee has put the ultimate performance of the count on screen for all to see ............ plus , he's a really nice guy and a gentelman .......... that's me and him below
