  • Freddy did not ruin Robert England's career, since he has played him for so long, but he is Freddy, as much as Mark Hamill is Luke Skywalker and Christopher Reeve is Superman.
  • Before this he played different sorts of roles, including V, a huge show; after it, his work had to be horror and Freddy, and even his notable performances are commentaries on being Freddy Krueger.
