I've always been a fan of the actor Boris Karloff. He had a haunting voice, a graceful style of movement, and some of the most expressive eyes I've ever seen.

Karloff's eyes in his classic role in The Mummy |
Of course, Karloff will always be best remembered for his portrayal of Frankenstein's creature in three films throughout the 1930s. It just so happens that I'm also a big fan of most anything to do with Frankenstein. Boris gave the first portrayal of the creature in a style that was in step with the original novel. Though his incarnation was incapable of much speech, the Karloff creature was sympathetic; a lost, sad being who never asked to be born and only wanted to be accepted by humanity.
