Freddie Jones on set during the making of The Satanic
Rites of Dracula
Always
surprising and entertaining. His voice and delivery are unique, as is,
his style and the line he follows in all his performances. Never the
obvious, always the unpredictable path. There are have been many highs
in the Freddie Jones career, but for us
here today, we focus on his roles where working with Peter Cushing,
brought us EXTRA value and entertainment.
As the wrecked and
manipulated, Professor Julian Keeley in Hammer films, 'The Satanic
Rites of Dracula' in 1973, to the pathetic and trapped Professor Richter
in 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed' in 1969.
Freddie
Jones still works, as busy as ever...some would say wasted in a
disposable soap opera... but disposable or not, Freddie has played the
role of Sandy Thomas since 2005, and in all 552 episodes of ITV's
'Emmerdale', with the same level of authenticity and investment, as any
role he has played since he began his long career back in 1960. Fifty
six years, and still you can't take your eyes off him! Happy Birthday
Freddie From Us All!
