Alec Newman, from the Dune miniseries, who is the new Barnabas Collins, was Drogyn, from "Hole in the World : Angel 5x15".

Filming has begun on the new DARK SHADOWS series, to be broadcast on The WB Network this fall. The cast of the new SHADOWS has now been filled out and starring as the gothic vampire Barnabas Collins is Alec Newman. The Scottish-born actor is best known to genre fans as Paul Atreides in The Sci Fi Channel’s adaptations of FRANK HERBERT’S DUNE and CHILDREN OF DUNE. Newman also recently made a guest appearance on another WB series, that being none other than ANGEL. Irony indeed.

The remaining cast members include Marley Shelton as Victoria Winters; Ivana Milicevic as Angelique Winters; Martin Donovan as Roger Collins; Jessica Chastain as Carolyn Stoddard; Matt Czuchy as Willie Loomis; and Alexander Gould as David Collins. PETER PAN director P.J. Hogan is directing the pilot episode and the network is committed to making five more episodes at least.
