I don't care who plays Freddy Krueger, but no one's as great as Robert England, the one & only Freddy Krueger.

Earle Haley gave a wonderful performance in Watchmen. I think he would make a cool Freddy

This guy is an amazing actor with an unusual sensitivity that might make some think he's effeminate -- much like James Callis -- but which actually proves both actors' strong sense of confidence in being able to diverge from the macho alpha male stereotype. I wish both of them the very best. They should be in a great Woody Allen film and not stuck to silly shows or bad horror/sci fi stuff after they've proven such skill.
