Englund's roles:



* CoolOldGuy: He's in his seventies and still seems endlessly enthusiastic about traveling and making movies.



* SerendipityWritesThePlot: While a young actor friend was sleeping on his couch, Englund encouraged him to try out for a big-budget science fiction movie Englund was considered for. The young actor did, and eventually won the part. The name of that friend? ''Creator/MarkHamill.''
* MotorMouth: Get him going and he'll talk your ear off. His love of a good conversation has sometimes been an issue when he's getting the Freddy Krueger makeup applied.

However, he first hit the big time as the [[PlayingAgainstType lovably innocent Willie]] in the ''Series/{{V 1983}}'' franchise. This created a TV image strong enough that when ''Series/FreddysNightmares'' had an OriginsEpisode story for Krueger, Englund's face was largely obscured to avoid associations with Willie.

* IAmNotSpock: He has been permanently Spocked as Freddy Krueger. To a lesser degree, he has also become typecast as a creepy/evil/weird guy in B-grade horror films. But these movies often feature Englund, and promote his inclusion, solely because of his "horror icon" status - a status he gained from playing Freddy.

Luckily, he doesn't mind, and he loves being known as Freddy.
