Claes Bang Set As Lead In BBC One’s ‘Dracula’
BBC One has found their Dracula. Danish actor Claes Bang (Borgen, The Bridge) has been set as the lead in the channel's new Dracula series from Sherlock co-creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. This new take on the classic Bram Stoker novel will re-introduce the world to Dracula, the vampire who made evil sexy. In Transylvania in 1897, the blood-drinking Count is drawing his plans against Victorian London. And be warned: the dead travel fast.
