Robert Englund mini-bio: Robert Englund is best known for playing the fictional character Freddy Krueger in the horror film A Nightmare On Elm Street and its six sequels. He received the Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) and A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988).

Since his first movie, Buster and Billie (1974), he has appeared in nearly 70 movies and TV series to date. Ironically, Englund was often typecast as a nerd or a redneck early in his career. He also guest starred in a 4th season episode of the TV series Knight Rider starring David Hasselhoff and Edward Mulhare (titled Fright Knight), in which a phantom played by Englund haunted a film studio. Before the Nightmare on Elm Street series, his most notable role was that of the lovably innocent Visitor, Willie from the 1983 mini series V, the 1984 sequel V: The Final Battle, and V: The Series. Englund also made a cameo appearance on the science fiction series, Babylon 5. He also provided the voice of magician Felix Faust in Justice League.

Englund's biggest starring role since Freddy vs. Jason was that of Mayor Buckman in the horror film 2001 Maniacs (2006). Englund's directorial debut was the 1989 horror film 976-EVIL. He is currently directing his second feature titled Killer Pad, a horror-comedy about three friends who use money from an insurance claim to move out of their parents' homes. They score a place in Hollywood Hills and refuse to believe that the house is actually a portal to hell.

Englund currently resides in Laguna Beach, California.
