DARK SHADOWS
(1967-1971)
"Barnabas Collins"
ABC-TV
"Ever since Frid joined "Dark Shadows" in April 1967, the program's ratings have zoomed, and Frid's popularity has soared so rapidly that no even television's imagemakers, let alone the actor himself, can explain it."
TWO GENTLEMAN OF VERONA (1966)
"Jonathan Frid displays another aspect of his tremendous talent, which was made blazingly clear in his Caliban this season. He gets his laughs by playing everything perfectly straight. Frid's magificent seriousness is hilarious and his performance is measured by intelligence and never overplaying anything."
"One who captures the eerie madness that is the essence of this nutty piece is Jonathan Frid, as the homicidal mania of a nephew, who complicates the serene life of the Brewster sisters (Jean Stapleton and Marion Ross). With stitches from the last plastic surgery still visible on a face which resembles Boris Karloff, Frid does not do a Karloff impersonation. Rather he has found an altogether sinister way to make visible the thought process of a wholehearted villain, who enjoys killing people slowly."
