Frank Langella has won four Tony Awards, portrayed everyone from Richard Nixon to Dracula, and starred in beloved hits from “Dave” to his recent turn on FX’s “The Americans.” And yet, many people want to talk to him about his work in the 1987 children’s fantasy flick “Masters of the Universe,” where he portrayed the faceless villain Skeletor.
Langella doesn’t mind one bit. “A lot of people talk to me about Skeletor, which is one of my favorite parts,” Langella says. “They always say, ‘Did you feel like you were slumming?’ And I say, absolutely not. My son was four years old. And I wanted him to see his father as Skeletor. And I loved playing it. It’s really one of my favorite parts, still.”
Of course, when he took his son to the screening, he fell asleep. Still, Langella has no regrets.
