Married to Julia Duffy. Nice looking man.

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

He has a wonderful speaking voice.

I'm rewatching Dark Shadows after many years and am loving Jerry Lacy's portrayals. What a talent and so handsome!

[@wisdomfromgeorge1704]

Jerry Lacy such a classy gentleman you got to love him

[@donschwellenbach5461]

Yes he is very strikingly handsome

[@lesmorrow226]

Yes, and he has aged well too

[@leemclaury6251]

I watched “Dark Shadows” as a kid when I came home from high school. Fond memories .

[@phtevlin]

He and Thayer David were my favorite actors in this series. The Reverend Trask and Professor Stokes.

[@sharonlynnh.1951]

Yes, two very intense actors Thayer David, (Prof. Stokes, Count Petofi/sheer evil, Sandor, etc) and Jerry Lacy (Trask iconic characters, spellbinding)..."Clarice Blackburn (Mrs. Johnson), etc, etc etc so many iconic characters on DARK SHADOWS that the DS's star Cast brought to Life, light. Amazing.

[@lucysmith8326]

Yes Thayer David played Professor Stokes well!!

[@pattibrooks1907]

I loved Dark Shadows and loved him as Trask and he s a great good actor I LOVE LARA TOO !

[@sharonlynnh.1951]

Oh me oh my Jerry LACY (our much "hated & evil" Rev. Trask, Gregory T., Lamour T., etc.,) is so handsome: it was truelly an "surprise delight" to finally see & meet this incrediable actor & other DS's legends @the50th Dark Shadows Anniversary (Halloween in LA 2016): his demeanor is very calm/direct , very nice and his eyes "beautiful-fiery" like he can see through you. Big smile (made us nervous abit) he took a pix w/us (sister/I), signed autographs: we'll treasure this keepsake forever!! Thank you, Mr. Lacy.

[@kerryincolumbus]

Julia Duffy is very lucky to be married to such a good looking man!

[@sharonhenderson8956]

Such an charismatic Mystic legendary Actor Jerry Lacy🌠 so magnetic his eyes and all around Stage presence. His love to hate Dark Shadows iconic characters Rev. Trask, Gregory Trask and Lamar Trask are sinisterly unforgettable. Chiller. And his Tony Peterson 1st roll a heart-thr💛b & strongly believe he comes from the TRASK Family line. Thanks MR. LACY for bringing them "all" to Light.

[@TaDarling1]

Now this was the guy that knew how to play 'evil'.

[@angelagarnet5775]

What a lovely man. So different from the DS characters.

[@charlaharmon776]

Mr. Jerry you are one fine man!

[@daniellebrothers3688]

What a fascinating interview. With reruns of DS on tv AND access to these interviews, I really have enjoyed learning all these behind the scenes stories!

[@61MARCOP]

He used to do a good impression of Humphrey Bogart's Sam Spade back in the day.

[@jpsned]

He played Bogart in Woody Allen's movie "Play It Again Sam."

[@6828Lu]

Jerry Lacy is such a wonderful guy. I love hearing him talk about his career.

[@donnaferrier101]

Very handsome man, & really enjoyed his acting on the show.” Trask “ what a character to portray! He was wonderful!👏👏👏👏💕

[@phillyflash43]

It would have been great to have Rev. Trask guest on SNL's "church chat" with Dana Carvey's Church Lady, but alas...

[@tyroberts2261]

He also did the best Humphrey Bogart impression. Check out Play It Again Sam

[@philipstallino8752]

Resembles Humphrey Bogart.

[@dr.migalitoloveless1651]

He played Humphrey Bogart's ghost in the Woody Allen movie, PLAY IT AGAIN SAM.

[@Janadu]

Part Bogie and part Mr. Rogers.

[@geo-george2639]

Very apt description!

[@66collinwood]

Great interview with one of my favorite actors from Dark Shadows!

[@annmarie7488]

I've always been struck how much he reminds me of Humphrey Bogart. Jerry has been married to actress Julia Duffy since 1984. They have two children, the younger one died by suicide two years ago. :(

[@tadimaggio]

For all of its over-the-top plotlines, "Dark Shadows" made a surprising number of trenchant points about human behavior in the course of its run. One of my favorites was in the 1795 story (which was probably my favorite). Reverend Trask was a fanatical witch-hunter and religious bigot, who had come across a house where there actually WAS a witch at work. Not only did he manage to misidentify her, but the real witch used him as her dupe against an innocent woman, to divert suspicion from herself. It was a potent lesson that extremism is always an evil counsellor, even when the danger it is out to destroy is, in itself, very real. As a teacher of mine always said, whenever she heard somebody use the term "crying wolf": "Never forget that there actually WAS a wolf in that story."

[@philipancell516]

Excellent point!!!

[@floresoleu6801]

Do you really realise how beautifull you were and still??ç

[@delavalmilker]

I liked him as lawyer Tony Peterson . He added a nice hard-edged character to the series. Something that was missing from the show when Burke Devlin (the Mitchell Ryan version) left.

[@ernestmchugh3132]

Jerry was so handsome!

[@lf7961]

An outstanding actor.

[@702ringo1]

What a wonderful actor! He did such a great job on that show.

[@PeasantWithaPitchfork]

I've got such a crush on Jerry Lacy😐

[@xxxqwertxxx]

Me too🥲

[@juliew7366]

You remind me of my uncle up in heaven, at first I hated you on the show but I loved you after You always crack me up the wtich! the witch!! and how cunning and sneaky you were with Amanda, and Joan Bennet, and back when I was growing up I wish my dad had let me watch it, I am on 2nd time around with hubby I still cry, laugh, and always loved you on the show but I must admit Tony wasn't the best part you did, it was Trask or Rev. Trask you knew the Bible oh my I loved gregory trask also, and all parts you do are amazing I can't go a day without watching at least 10 epsiodes or more. You always cheer me up. LOVE LOVE LOVE This show! FOREVER.

[@wildforthecats661]

Hated Trask, shows how great Lacy’s acting was in the series.

[@HeadoftheSeniorClass-en6qp]

Mr. Lacy is an actor for the ages! His Trask characters will be loathed as much as his Bogart will be loved.

[@tubularbill]

What a class act

[@michaelhughes432]

I remember when Jerry Lacy appeared as the Rev. Trask on DS, he always reminded me of a young version of Christopher Lee. After Dark Shadows was canceled, Jerry went to be a Humphey Bogart impersanator on TV commercials for Right Guard Deodorant Spray & he played the Humphey Bogart look alike in the Woody Allen movie, "Play It Again, Sam."

[@upinflames_01]

Fascinating interview!

[@lonniebooker970]

Great soap actor and guest star from Dark Shadows known as "Reverend Trask", "Tony Peterson", "Mr. Trask", "The Butler Trask" and "Gregory Trask".

[@StuNodd]

A marvelous actor!

[@ashleycurrin4317]

I love him as, Butler Trask in the 1970 parallel time, and I like him as, Tony Peterson!

[@Barnabas45]

I always wanted to know what the deal was with all those flies on the set???

[@davidgagnon3781]

The first Reverend Trask was my favorite too.

[@jad8123]

Very dapper guy. Classy!

[@hak4890]

He was at the DS Festival in ‘86 with his beautiful wife, Actress Julia Duffy.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

hard to believe he's 85 now ... that makes me ... oh, never mind!

[@hollyprincipato3287]

Trask tried to exorcise Victoria Winters....very cruel to her. She should have beat your butt! Both Trask characters were insane.
God Bless you Mr. Lacy

[@kathrynbellerose3925]

Excellent actor.

[@JohnVKaravitis]

Actress Laurette Spang introduced him to his wife, actress Julia Duffy.

[@sherryparkman7635]

ty love it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[@karendegraaf1146]

He played the ghost of Bogie in "Play it again, Sam"

[@kaymedwa]

Witch Hunter Trask my favorite too⚡️

[@theresachiorazzi4571]

I kinda see a slight resemblance to Humphrey bogart believe it or not does anybody else see that

[@ricogomez4020]

This guy looked scary like the devil as Trask.

[@bettykirkland9107]

Jerry you got on my nerves more then once 😂 lol!

[@loribpidgeon]

[@johnkobak3027]

Yes hedid!!!

[@LILTONY1961]

Bogart of D's,Grayson hall-crawford...frid-lugosi,Joan Bennett-hoan Bennett!... Ha!

[@billlamont817]

I Wonder If Mr. Rogers Wanted The Ministers Part.

[@philipancell516]

I had heard thru a resource I can't divulge that when Joan Bennett slapped him that she felt so bad about it that she flubbed her line and if anyone watches it they will clearly see thats true. Loved Joan as much as Jer ..!!

[@daddy2299]

I've heard that too, from some of the actors.

[@debramiles5176]

He played rev tracks brilliantly I surely hated him vary handsome man out of costume

[@tylerhynes0]

Trask hahaha you Evil guy

[@sandradavis4551]

Hello handsome! Is he still with us?

[@skipeastport5529]

Yes. He’s 84 and still married to Julia Duffy from Newhart and Designing Women. Their adult son committed suicide a couple of years ago. Very sad.

[@sandradavis4551]

Oh, ok. Thanks for the update Skip.

[@M10000]

Reverend Trask will live forever. I call Dark Shadows the Angelique, Reverend Trask, and Mrs. Collins show co-starring Barnabas.

[@mickeymartin464]

Very handsome 😍, I didn't like Trask though.

[@floresoleu6801]

Hola, estas riky

[@hollyprincipato3287]

I hated Trask!

[@mightymeatmonsta]

A Humphrey Bogart wannabe.

[@loribpidgeon]
