Most horror fans know William Ragsdale as the lovable reluctant hero Charlie Brewster from the classic 80’s Vampire film Fright Night and Fright Night Part 2. Around that time he was also appearing onstage in Neil Simon’s plays Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues, two of the three parts of Simon’s trilogy, which ends with Broadway Bound. Ragsdale then continued his film career with Mannequin Two: On the Move in 1991.
Ragsdale later starred for three years on the Fox sitcom Herman’s Head. He has continuously had supporting roles television series such as Judging Amy. Grosse Pointe, and Justified.
Most recently Ragsdale can be found going back to his vampire hunting roots in the Nicholas Cage film Renfield.
