Mute monster? Eschew such a role!
Bela wants scenes to chew: why play troll?
So the thing goes to Boris
Who flings his thesaurus
And he's haunting, imbued with a soul.
David Cairns
Bela Lugosi famously turned down role of the Monster in Frankenstein (James Whale; 1931), feeling it didn't have any lines. The role went to Karloff, and helped to make him famous.
