From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
John Herbert Frid is a Hamilton, Ontario, Canada-born actor, who was born on December 2, 1924, and was brought on to play the role of Barnabas Collins - a vampire - on the first incarnation of the low-budget, Gothic TV serial Dark Shadows, to help rescue flagging television ratings.
The role of Barnabas Collins was originally intended to be a brief one, but the popularity of Jonathan Frid's vampire and the improvement to the ratings resulted in the character continuing on and becoming one of the "core" characters of the show.
