What happened to the old-school character actor?
As far as I can tell there are few of these remaining. But, then again, I am fairly disenchanted with movies and television of late...and music...and most creative avenues seem to have run a bit stale. I guess I was spoiled since I grew up in a fairly creative and artsy decade where things ran a bit dark but there was always a twist.
Anyway, since Halloween is nearing, I have been watching scads of old horror movies. Bela Lugosi in Dracula, Boris Karloff in the Mummy, (and Boris Karloff always brings back beloved memories of Dr. Seuss because he narrated the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, one of my very favorite cartoons) but my very favorite has always been Vincent Price...if not for his facial expressions, then for his distinctive voice.
So, here he is, talking and poking a bit of fun at himself in a Tim Burton short, which is also one of my very favorite things.
Vincent
