Charles Stanton Ogle played the monster of Frankenstein in the first eponymous film in 1910 .
The first "Frankenstein" was released in 1931. It starred Boris Karloff as the monster.
He wasn't always cast as a monster. On House of Frankenstein he played a scientist. An evil one, sure, but Glen Strange played Frankenstein's monster in that movie. Karloff's big break came from playing the monster in the 1931 Frankenstein, and since he was famous for his role in a horror movie he continued to be cast in horror movies.
He never named the monster in the 1931 movie, the book, or in any other movies. He is always referred to as "the creature."
In the original movie Frankenstein, the creator was actually Frankenstein. It is his last name, hence the name "Dr. Frankenstein". The creature he creates is just called 'the monster' or 'Frankenstein's monster'.
The movie's writer-director Kenneth Branagh plays Frankenstein. His creation, "the monster" as it is simply called, is played by Robert De Niro.
