Jonathan Frid Interview

The early part of the interview seems to deal with the Dark Shadows Files publication, with Frid noting that the publication says that he wrote the intro to the book but Frid saying that he did no such thing. He also hates pictures of himself with fangs. He's not interested in vampires, but he is interested in villainy.

The interview goes on to talk about how he became an actor. He says he could have become a teacher instead. He hates to watch the show. He did a series of one-man shows relating to the topic of villains. He got (unsurprisingly) a lot of fanmail from women. He did not like how Barnabas was made to act in the House of Dark Shadows.

It's obvious from the interview that he was a very, very intelligent man and was deeply interested in human behavior, especially that of villains.
