After a longer-than-anticipated hiatus, the Collinsport Historical Society Podcast is back this week with a very special episode. This week, we look back on the career of actor JONATHAN FRID, who passed away a year ago. Consider this a seance, of sorts. Mr. Frid is now beyond the reach of pesky fan blogs and their annoying questions about Dark Shadows. Instead, we thought we'd conjure his spirit by asking his friends and colleagues share their stories about him.
And out guest list is a doozy. Joining us for interviews in this podcast are Nancy Kersey, Elena Nacanther, Lara Parker, Gary Sandy, Kathryn Leigh Scott, David Selby,Sherlock, Marie Wallace and Donna Wandrey. There are also a few archival sound clips from Frid, himself.
My co-conspirators DAVID-ELIJAH NAHMOD and PATRICK McCRAY did most of the work on this episode and secured many of these interviews. Because of scheduling problems (this was supposed to go live the weekend of April 14) so I opted to narrate the episode, myself, for the sake of expediency. This episode wouldn't have happened without them, though.
There's also some discussion in this episode of the campaign to get Frid on Canada's Walk of Fame. If you're interested in nominating him (and it's a simple process) you can cast your vote at www.canadaswalkoffame.com/nominate.
