I'm a Big Fan of Frank Langella
A versatile and overwhelmingly charismatic actor -- and, in his youth, a strikingly handsome one -- Langella was best known early in his career for his success in the title role of Dracula in the Broadway production designed by Edward Gorey. He was persuaded to star opposite Laurence Olivier in the subsequent film version directed by John Badham.

Langella is new "Man for all Seasons" on Broadway

"When I look back at my choices, the whole list of these men who are on their own - Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, Paley, Nixon and now Thomas - I have an affinity with them. I understand what it's like to hear life on the other side of the door and not be a part of it."

Nixon/Frost
Langella as Nixon
The story explores the question of how Frost, a famous British talk-show host with a playboy reputation, elicited the apology that the rest of the world was waiting to hear from a disgraced president. The play shows the determination, conviction and cunning of two men as they square off in one of the most monumental political interviews of all time.

Langella as Nixon--the Film
- Langella to reprise Nixon role
- Frank Langella to reprise Nixon role in film
Frank Langella must be real good in the highly acclaimed new play "Frost/Nixon" because the actor has landed the role of Richard Nixon in the Ron Howard adaptation of the play. The play, written by Peter Morgan, who wrote both Forest Whitaker and Helen Mirren to lead acting Oscars last year, has become one of the hottest tickets in New York and the film, to be made by Universal and Ron Howard, has already become one of the most anticipated. Langella is the man currently winning raves in the role.
Frost/Nixon, about an interview between David Frost and Richard Nixon received nominations from the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle recently for the performance by Frank Langella.
The film version of Frost/Nixon, about a series of TV interviews between the fallen president and the journalist, will start shooting on August 27th, if everything stays as scheduled, and you can expect Oscar talk for Frank Langella in about a year and a half. - Langella gets the role
- Langella looks nothing like Nixon - but he completely captures the essence of the man, the paranoia, the arrogance and curious outbursts of attempted humor, not to mention the hump-backed posture of a man uncomfortable with his own stature.
Langella would be worth seeing even if Frost/Nixon were not as compelling a play as it is.

Langella as Dracula
Lushly produced, this is the first big-budget adaptation of Bram Stoker's immortal tale. But high production values is not what sets this movie apart from other versions of Stoker's story. This movie treats the venerable bloodsucker as some sort of romantic, Gothic hero. In this film, Dracula is still a soulless fiend, but the character has been revised (and the original story has been altered), adding a strong sexual subtext to the piece. Frank Langella's Dracula is as much a dashing figure of debauchery as he is a personification of pure evil. This novel interpretation helps revitalize the old-chestnut. Purists will probably be outraged at the changes, but I thought this new approach works beautifully. Once the film has established its true intentions, the story moves at a very fast speed. Badham's direction is energetic. Laurence Olivier looks a little tired as Van Helsing, but his commanding screen presence adds a touch of class to the story. The actual look of the movie is an achievement in itself. Gilbert Taylor's diffused cinematography is hauntingly beautiful, and Peter Murton's production design is also memorable. John Williams' score is very interesting and one of his most unappreciated works. Albert Whitlock's extraordinary matte work is in a class by itself. A zesty, interesting and thoroughly enjoyable reinterpretation of the old legend.~~review from IMDB
