John Carson
Known for
John Carson is one of the more persistent actors of his generation who has been at it long enough for audiences to grow up watching him. Among the rest of the work, 'Taste the Blood of Dracula' stands out. The first credits arrived long before the title most people know. The career has been split between cinema and television rather than settled in either. If one title has to stand in for the rest, it is 'Doomsday'.
