Facts:from http://www.jonathanfrid.com/bio2.html

searching for a teaching opportunity, Frid had just returned to New York from a year-long tour with Ray Milland in Hostile Witness when he was hired to play the role of Barnabas Collins on ABC-TV�s drama series Dark Shadows in 1967 #2. The role was supposed to last for only a few weeks. For Frid, it represented some extra income before he headed to California for a teaching job. But, once he was onboard, Dark Shadows became a phenomenal hit. It ran for four more years with Frid, and Joan Bennett, as its stars. Frid's sensitive portrayal of the complex, conflicted vampire earned him a place as an icon of American popular culture.
