Ithink of Bela Lugoai, when Dracula comes to mind. Like Mr. lee , lugosi was typecast after he played the count, and had to do numerous "Dracula Meets the Werewolf's Grandson" tyope of films. While Lee was able to break away from being typecast, Legosi, because iof his accent and the Depression, was unable to do so.Lugosi dioied before Lee's first performance. I often wonder if Lee watched Lugosi performance as the Count before taking the role. I think he did, as the film was a classic of the horror genre even then.
