Dracula
In 1927 Bela was offered the chance to play the leading role in a stage production of Bram Stokers Dracula. Right from his first appearance as Dracula audiences were captivated. After an extensive and very successful run on Broadway Bela toured around America with the Dracula stage show.
Bela made such an impact in the role that in 1931 Universal came calling for a film version of Dracula a role that would bring Bela right into the limelight. Unfortunately the role both made his acting career and killed it at the same time. No matter what Bela would do throughout his career he could not shake his connection to Dracula.
