Grandpa Sam Dracula as portrayed by Al Lewis on tv's "The Munsters."

I have always loved Al Lewis' performance as Grandpa, but after scanning my DVDs frame by frame searching for reference pics for this portrait I came away with an all new respect for the subtleties he put into it.

We all think of Grandpa as the sweet old jewish grandfather, but if you watch closely at Al's face you'll see that he delivers his lines with a venom and fury, just as though he was a fearsome creature of the night. In fact it was very very hard to find an image where he didn't look "evil."

Sadly Al Lewis passed away earlier this year on February 3rd, at the age of 95.

Be sure to check out my Lily Munster here:

And as always, if you'd like, you can buy a print of this portrait from my store.
