Dark Shadows - Roger Davis Interview 01.mp4

[@jeanettesmith765]

I am watching this after many years, and I am really loving Roger's part in the show. Now, I am going to have to rewind to see Dr. Lang's scenes with Roger!

[@henriettedyer2410]

Watching Dark Shadows now. I am obsessed. He was so handsome . 😍 I was not even alive when it aired. Just discovered it.

[@ashleycurrin4317]

Same.. I reverse and, go back to those times when this awesome show was, on!!!

[@woodie62]

After DS left the air, Davis went on to do the opening narration for another show (1971, I believe) called "Alias Smith and Jones"(WESTERN). He guest starred in one of the episodes as a somewhat villainous character, and opportunist. Maybe a year into the series, one of the leads (Pete Duel) unfortunately dies and sometime after, Davis replaced him. I don't know if it was the shock from fans or a possible lack of chemistry between Davis and Ben Murphy that nose-dived the show. At any rate, both Davis and Duel (RIP) were excellent!! And as a side note, I think Roger Davis does favor Ron Howard a bit.

[@Janadu]

He was my first DS crush. Not always fond of his characters, but thought he was a cutie and easy on the eyes.

[@hak4890]

To me, Dirk Wilkins was one of the scariest vampires, ever.

[@tommymaguire2839]

This guy was the worst. Always yelling, overacting and physically grabbing, shoving and shaking his costars. Awful.

and knocking over things,

[@shannonhall1465]

Great interview. OMG no one could have replaced Alexandra Moltke but imagine if Jacqueline Smith had. It would have brought an added dimension. For me there was only one Victoria Winters .

[@DestinyUnfolds59]

I just met Roger at DFW airport last week. He was so amazing!

[@nolasfamily3913]

So awesome to watch this interview; it brings back memories when I met Roger Davis when he was married to Jaclyn Smith when she was only known for Breck shampoo ads before Charlie's Angels. Subbed. Thumbs up!

[@Marcel_Audubon]

sounds like he would be annoying to work with

[@maryjackson-ingham2844]

He was not one of my favorite actors on DS. Now I’m watching it again and he’s still not one of my favorite. He just seems like he was over acting back then. Sitting here watching him I don’t understand why I didn’t care for him in that part.

[@sharonlynnh.1951]

What a "hoot interview" with Actor Roger Davis our DS's Peter Bradford, Ned Stuart and my personal favorite by far is Charles Delaware Tate for he was part of the "answer" in saving Chris Jennings & Quentin Collins dreaded curse of being a Werewolf simply by painting a Portrait of them. Easier said then done for Mr. Tate was off the wall. Also, liked Mr. Davis in the Western TV Classic Elliot Smith & Jones.

[@erinwilliams1643]

Alias...

[@hunterlynn1111]

The painting of Chris didn't work.....

[@chrisreidy439]

@@hunterlynn1111 And it cost Tate his life.

[@candy144]

He is very handsome, but I think he may have been a jerk to work with. JMO.

[@marilynwillett804]

the only man with PMS

[@daddy2299]

I often wondered why Davis' characters were such mouthy jerks, after seeing this I no longer have to wonder. Torturing and disrupting other actors while everyone is trying to do good work. Oh the hilarity. Has anyone here ever worked any job with someone like this? Yeah, it's a world of fun...

[@catherineehlers8115]

Funny, yes, but isn’t that considered bad manners among actors?

[@kevinpyne5808]

Charles Delaware Tate was my favorite role of his. Tate was a young artist in 1897, an old creepy guy in 1969. I will never forget the scene where his fake head rolled on the floor.

[@ashleycurrin4317]

I love love his, Dirk Wilkins character in the 1897 storyline!

[@hak4890]

One of the scariest Vampires, ever.

[@marilynwillett804]

He was known as a P hound, and the women didn't want to do love scenes with him, one important female character threatened to quit if she had to do a kissing scene with him, so she got out of it. HE WAS TOO HYSTERICAL IN HIS ACTING. MORE OF A RE-ACTOR.

[@darlenevicars3988]

can't see anyone playing Victoria except AM.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

OF course not! They needed to send VW off into the sunset with AM left the show, NOT bring in horrid replacements of a storyline that died two years before. Shame shame Shame

[@gabrielalopetegui]

Wow he is like a good wine. Aged very well 🥰🥰

[@Historian212]

I think he looks better than he did back then. Well, in 2012 or whenever this was recorded.

[@JanMike9]

I hated every character he played as well as his ridiculous methods and grating voice. Really wanted any other character to punch him in the face, especially the women. Couldn't wait for him to be gone for good. He and Don Briscoe irritated me the most, by far.

[@brendanaschinski-bp9dj]

Rodger Davis was always a good actor and a hunk of Man

[@kyzlorda]

Mr Davis is an excellent actor. He sure did always know his lines lol, and then some. His description of torturing the actor who played Dr Lang is a riot. There was a scene where he slams a door and part of the set around him falls down. A true professional, he kept on going -- it was admirable

[@wiseguymaybe]

Is this a resent interview, of Roger. Wow. He ages well. Not really a Dark Shadows fan, more an Alias Smith And Jones fan.

[@66collinwood]

Great interview with Roger!

[@ricardoegarcia1126]

What have you done lately...You were one the handsome guy in the Dark 😢

[@kathybennett3787]

Love this!

[@blondeboywilson9221]

He would have been a better Lester Bangs than Seymour

[@Debby901]

Missed out on one Charlie's Angel, but gained another😇

[@JohnVKaravitis]

He made a killing in the Los Angeles real estate market.

[@secondcomingofbast9908]

My favorite of his characters was Laura Collin's friend Dirk Wilkins. Made a great vampire.

[@panzerriff]

Yeah, he was scary as a vampire...

[@secondcomingofbast9908]

@@panzerriff I actually liked his character even before he becane a vampire. His other characters weren't that good and Charles Delaware Tate was flat out ridiculous.

[@davidgagnon3781]

What did he say? "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" was written by Philip K Dick.

[@Master_Blackthorne]

It's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep?" Rogie.

[@adolphlopez7735]

Roger Davies is the coolest, but the most awesomeness strangest weirdest spookiest actor alive.

[@Janadu]

Christopher Walken is still around. Just sayin'

[@Master_Blackthorne]

Adolph, go edit yourself some more.

[@sammyvh11]

Man laid some pipe in his day.

[@johnkobak3027]

Good actor. On this show

[@trissloan2340]

Jacklyn Smith would have been outstanding instead of Alexandra Moltke. Moltke was never even attractive or a very good actress.Kate Jackson would have been excellent.
