Robert Englund Biography

Robert Englund, an actor, was briefly considered for the part of Han Solo in the 1977 film Star Wars while visiting his close friend Mark Hamill, who would later be cast in the film as Luke Skywalker. Englund had auditioned for Luke Skywalker's role but was cast as Ranger in Galaxy of Terror, produced by Roger Corman and released in 1981. Since then, he has made over 100 appearances in film and television. Englund was initially typecast as a nerd or a redneck in his early film roles. Still, he gained attention for his role as Willie, the lovable innocent alien in the 1983 miniseries V and its 1984 sequel V: The Final Battle and V: The Series, in which he was a regular cast member. However, his breakthrough role was as the psychotic burn victim and child murderer Freddy Krueger in Wes Craven's 1984 A Nightmare on Elm Street, which made him a nationally syndicated star and the first new horror movie star since Sir Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in the 1960s. Englund's association with the genre led him to top-billed roles in The Phantom of the Opera, The Mangler, and 2001 Maniacs.
