Andre is an unknown quantity at this point
I have to agree with Gena as i also love Dracula(although i have to admit that i'm not too keen on any of the more modern films about D that have come out over the last few years)..and i think that we all know that Mr Lee was so damn good in this role that people can't help themselves when it comes to associating Mr Lees name with the Dracula character.
But then again i also have to agree with Pam in that i also believe that alot of Mr Lees Typecasting can be blamed on the Press(not all of it but a great percentage of it)...every time i see an article on Mr Lee it seems to concentrate on His Dracula movies and i get the feeling that they don't want to go too in depth about any of his other films as they feel that people won't be intrested(total rubbish of course).
The fact is that Mr Lee has made many wonderful films(and continues to do so) and i think that we are very lucky to have an actor of calibre with us and i for one am extremely grateful for the many hours of viewing pleasure that he has given me over the years.
