Why I am very dissapointed

I found his portrayal to be a bit, well simple.
Alucard. The time that I heard the name used was in Castlevania Symphony of the Night. Where the lead character is Alucard, a son of dracula. Whos half-vampire half human and tormented by the fact that his father is a vampire. His mother being a human. Even though the villagers slew his mother for being accused of being a witch he held nothing against them. And swore that he would vanquish his father no matter what. And so he took on a fake name "alucard" which is dracula spelt backwards as a symbol that he rejects his father. This led me to believe that alucard has very much sadness in him. But I also saw him as extremely beautiful man (physically as well as morally). He had white long hair combed back, (which is actually a very whitish blond, but looks like white during the night) its a shame that I've never seen a extremely beautiful real life actor portray Alucard... Lon Chaney Jr isn't. And as far as I know this movie wasn't about Alucard but Dracula, he only used it a synonym in the film. Does anyone else know of any movies that stars Alucard?

Where did you get that description of Alucard? I thought he was made up for this film? Anyways, I liked this Alucard, but I understand that if you had heard of this other Alucard, then you would be disappointed.

Well, this is the original Alucard, Son of Dracula. Without him, the Alucard you prefer would not have existed.

This is from the 1940s; long before Castlevania. What a dumb-ass!
