What actor played Dracula the most?

It's tricky to definitively say who played Dracula the *most*, as it depends on how you define "played" and "most."

Here are some contenders:

* Christopher Lee: He played Dracula five times across different films, including the classic Hammer horror series. His iconic portrayal is arguably the most recognizable, and his deep, menacing voice became synonymous with the character.

* Frank Langella: He played Dracula in the 1979 film adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel, which is considered a faithful and critically acclaimed interpretation.

* Gary Oldman: While his portrayal in the 1992 film *Bram Stoker's Dracula* is only one film, it's a powerful and visually stunning one. His performance is considered a landmark interpretation of the character.

Ultimately, the "most" depends on your criteria:

* Number of Films: Christopher Lee takes the lead with five Dracula films.

* Critical Acclaim: Both Langella and Oldman's interpretations are highly praised.

* Cultural Impact: Christopher Lee's Dracula is arguably the most iconic and influential, shaping the character's image in popular culture for generations.

Therefore, it's up to you to decide who you consider to be the definitive Dracula actor.
