14 roles
Commanding European dialect. Hugely sexy, magnetically handsome, rock star presence, he is a narcissist whose greatest love is himself - and his leather pants. Bored with women falling all over him, he becomes obsessed with Lucy when he hears of her strength and adventurousness. The less she needs him, the more interested he is. He travels to Whitby to find her and make her his bride for eternity.
RP British dialect. Prim and proper and obsessive-compulsive real estate agent, frightened of his own shadow. Engaged to his childhood crush Lucy Westfeldt and enamored of her fearlessness. Once bitten, he loosens up..a lot...and becomes a Tom Jones-style rock star in leather pants.
RP British dialect. Brilliant plucky earth scientist daughter of Dr. Westfeldt, she is full of energy and the spirit of adventure and often underestimated because of her beauty. Engaged to Jonathan, but when Dracula moves to Whitby, she is curious about his strange ways and impressed by their similar interests.

Elvis dialect. Lucy's arrogant suitor from Memphis, à la Elvis.
