I love that Ben Cross will be in a movie with the actress who played the 2004 Angelique. That's so ironic! I loved his 1991 Barnabas...
Mr. Cross always had such a nice smile. He looks like a fun sort of guy, much different from how he played Barnabas; although there were a few signs of humor, here and there in the short-lived series. So, Barnabas and Angelique meet once again...
Thrilled for Actor Ben Cross whom did an outstanding works in the DARK SHADOWS 1991-Revival Series as Barnabas Collins. I so wanted that series to continue when it was on in the early 90's for when Victoria came back to modern time the look on her face when seeing Barnabas in the gathering of people in her bedroom was edge on mystery/frightening. She knew he was a Vampire. Thrilled that legendary Actor Jerry Lacy/original DS's Rev. Trask has a blog 'Site Actors Equity Associates. And the Abraham Lincoln Vampiere Killer/Dark Shadows Screen Writter Seth Graham-Smithe will be part of the Ghostbusters III Creative force. Much congrates to Chloe (Stephen King's new Carrie) & Jonny Miller (modern day Sherlock Holmes) in their new movie projects!
