"Moulin Rouge," "The Crimson Pirate." He took up boxing and fencing to keep fit and be ready for any costume parts that might come along. In "The Truth About Women" with Laurence Harvey, he got a big comedy role. Shortly after came the turning point of his career-and he never played comedy again! Hammer Films in 1956 were just about to begin their amazing success with horror subjects. They were searching for a tall actor to play the Creature in "The Curse of Frankenstein." He got the part and the rest is history. "Dracula" came next and the enormous success of these subjects sealed his fate. "The Mummy," "The Hound of the Baskervilles," "Corridors of Blood," "The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll," "City of the Dead," "The Hands of Orlac," "Taste of Fear," "Pirates of Blood River," "The Gorgon," "She," were films that followed and then he gained another huge success with his interpretation of "Dr. Fu Manchu." Now in tremendous demand all over the continent, he has made scores of films where his command of languages made anxious producers into happy ones. In 1961 he married a beautiful Danish actress and model, Birgit Kroencke. They have a seven year-old daughter, Christina, and live in London. "Scars of Dracula" was produced by Aida Young. Directed by Roy Ward Baker. It is a Hammer Production in Technicolor for Anglo EMI and is distributed by Continental Films.
