Dwight Frye (born Dwight Iliff Fry) as R.M. Renfield in Dracula (1931)
Dwight Frye (born Feb 22 1899, died Nov 7 1943) is most well-known for playing R.M. Renfield, Dracula's insect-eating servant, in Dracula (1931). The same year, he took on his other most well-known role; Fritz, Dr. Frankenstein's hunchbacked assistant, in Frankenstein (1931). Frye's career and life was cut short as he unfortunately passed away at the age of 44 due to a heart attack on a bus, a few days prior to beginning filming for the 1944 biopic Wilson.
Fun facts:
Frye was from Salina, Kansas, and was a Broadway actor prior to acting in movies. His career spanned from 1917 to his death in 1943.
American rock band Alice Cooper wrote and recorded a tribute track to Frye called The Ballad of Dwight Fry (the last "e" being intentionally dropped).
A biography, Dwight Frye's Last Laugh, was published in 1997 and was authorised by Frye's son Dwight D. Frye. It talks about his early work, Broadway career, and eventual typecasting in film.
