Actor Born: June 6, 1949 in Glendale, CA Biography:"Robert Englund" began his acting training at age 12, taking drama courses at the University of Oakland, U.C.L.A., California State-Northridge, the Michigan Academy of Dramatic Arts, and the Rochester, NY, branch of R.A.D.A. Englund made his first professional appearance in a Cleveland production of Godspell. His first film role was the bumptious backwoodsman Whitey in "Buster and Billie" (1974), after which he paid his dues in a series of villainous bit parts: shooting down "Burt Reynolds" at the end of "Hustle" (1975); beating up "Kris Kristofferson" in "A Star is Born" (1976); and so on. In 1984, he was cast as Willie, one of the few sympathetic Earth-invading extraterrestrials in the sci-fi TV miniseries V.
Impressed by this performance, director "Wes Craven" buried Englund under several layers of latex and collodion and cast him as malevolent, mass-murdering wraith Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare... Full Biography
