[spoiler]
Look how old they made him look in the Levianthan storyline. Gray streaks in the hair and everything![/spoiler]

I also think that working so hard and having so much stress, JF might have aged
also through the show

*waves at Magnus* Glad to be back!

Yeah, I watch the show and think about the hours and the commitment the actors had for it and it makes me love them even more. It may have been just work, but their hard work turned into something totally awesome for the rest of us. Not to mention several of them were also doing plays and movies on top of DS. It's mind boggling! I'm sure I would have collapsed at some point under such a schedule!

I would not trade Jonathan Frid for any younger actor under any circumstances.

I try not to focus too much on the age of Barnabas' character....I only care about the depth of his performances, and, bloopers and messing-up-lines occasionally aside, he gave it his all and was on target 9 times out of 10.

I am equally Frid-supportive!
