I got to meet your Uncle John in Chicago when he was playing in Arsenic and Old Lace he was very polite and I've always loved him in Dark Shadows I couldn't believe that was him when I saw him standing there I actually got to talk to him for a few minutes he was so awesome

I may be young, but I fell in love with Dark Shadows' alluring tales and mystery. Jonathon Frid was captivating as Barnabas the Vampire but also as a family member in the Collins lineage. His acting was hypnotizing when on screen. This tribute was honorable.

What a lovely and loving tribute. So glad to know that Mr. Frid had family around him as he got older.

No one else could produce such a lovable vampire! RIP, Mr. Frid.

A class act that raised the Soap Opera milieu with leaps and bounds!

Thank you very much for uploading this. No actor can match his portrayal of Barnabas Collins.

If Jonathan Frid did not agree to play Barnabas Collins, Their probably would have not been No Dark Shadows. Barnabas Collins made The show excellent and very exciting. Thank you so much Jonathan Frid. 👏👍👏RIP. 💌

Belleroguy, thank you for sharing this touching tribute. Mr. Frid was one of a kind, a gracious presence who is sorely missed. I remember seeing his fabulous black books at DS conventions.
