What actor originally immortalized Dracula's archnemesis, Van Helsing?

In the silent version of Nosferatu (1922), the Van Helsing character was called Prof. Bulwer and was played by John Gottowt. This film, made by F. W. Murnau, was for all intents and purposes, Dracula, but Bram Stoker's widow had not given permission for Murnau to use her husband's book for the film. So Murnau changed the names around. It didn't stop Florence Stoker taking him to court though, and all copies of the film were ordered to be destroyed. Luckily for us, this didn't happen and the film has survived. Max Schreck (as Orlok) plays one of the most revolting vampires ever seen. The role of the Van Helsing character was however, greatly diminished.In the Universal Pictures film of Dracula (1931), directed by Tod Browning, where Bela Lugosi plays the Count, you have Prof. Van Helsing played by Edward Van Sloan, with his correct name this time.The BBC ran a mini series in 1977, Count Dracula, with Louis Jourdan as the Count. This features my personal favourite Prof. Van Helsing played superbly by the actor Frank Finlay. High recommended.
