A Tribute To Michael Stroka (aka Aristede on Dark Shadows)

A tribute to the late (great) actor: Mr. Michael Stroka. He portrayed Aristede, Bruno Hess and Laszlo Ferrari on the gothic soap opera: Dark Shadows. I have used alot of these photos in my other videos..but decided to group them all together here in this tribute slideshow. This contains alot of rare and candid photographs of the actor on the set, outside the studio, with fans & etc. I hope you all enjoy this...please rate and comment if you do. I would also appreciate any help you can give me in circulating my Dark Shadows videos and boosting my channel....so if you know of any other DS fans out there that would enjoy my Youtube channel and DS videos...please pass my url along. Thank you all so much! :)

See Stroka looked at Murphy ina really deep scarey to frighten the hell out of him! Murphy used to minorly watch Dark Shadows as a kid and was afraid of the show more than anything! Murphy ran from Stroka screaming for his life! Stroka laughed his head off at frightening Murphy!

@sheilatx No, Vanna White is a hottie!

This Stroka could have had quite a career as the new PeeWee Herman! Stroka scared Eddie Murphy when they made that movie together!

You should do a tribute to his hair. Bruno had the biggest, best hair in all of Collinsport!  (No really, I liked his hair.) :)

He so reminds me of the late gay skater Ondrej Nepela who won the gold in 1972 in Figure Skating.Michael always looked tired.Sorry to read he died from cancer in 1997.
