Englund gives a really thoughtful and considered answer there. It's definitely nice to see a 'fan' receive this kind of response from an actor who could be a jerk if he wanted to - and still get paid at the end of the day. It does make a real difference. :)
He made the character seem believable, plus he's one of the very few actors to play the same character consecutively. There's been several Jasons and Michaels and Leatherfaces, but only 1 Freddy Krueger.
They came from the last great era of Horror, a time when actors and directors both became well known in the genre. Love to see them both do something, maybe Ash v Evil Dead cameo...
Robert Englund is the best Freddy Kruger, the new guy was alright but Englund is forever Freddy Kruger especially to those of us who grew up watching the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
Has anybody ever considered making an online petition for Englund and Campbell to be in a horror film together? It's a long shot. However, these actors are very in tune with fan gossip and rumours online. In fact, a lot of these films are fueled by fan enthusiasm for certain genre franchises. Do it!! Get the largest, biggest online petition going for Bruce Campbell and Robert Englund going. WHOSE WITH ME!! WE WANT CAMPBELL SOUP AND KRUGER SOUP!!
would be fun, but would bring on mor cr stuff....same reason they can't do army of darkness stuf in a vs ed but i do see work layed out for robert in this franchise....or tim curry from it.....both equally creepy actors imo =)
Otaking Mikohani now that would be sooooo badass....lets hope they make it so. if anything ash vs evil dead could only get more groovy (if that even is possible ).
Bruh needs to rest...enjoy the rest of your life. Your legacy will be remembered for generations to come. Robert Englund, the one and only Freddy Krueger
very nice of him to go into depth with his answer, and very very cool of him to boost bruce campbell instead of bashing him. mr englund just won a few respect points with me....
he was a great phantom of the opera toooo!!!!!!!!!! I m a proud owner of a copy of Z.S among others, now thats a funny movie bruce would like!!!!!!!!!!! Its a fav!!!!
o.g. Freddy Krueger cot damit mr. Robert England yes sir the original springwood slasher all day long don't you dare fall the fucc asleep recognize o.g. robert englund.
Robert Englund and Bruce Campbell are still my favorite there is no cult following. Because once you play Freddy Krueger or Ash Williams you're eternally known whether it's movie , comic book , or video game or even fan art. Wes Craven practically gave birth to Freddy Krueger and Sam Rami practically gave birth to Ash Williams. Those are icons that the world is never going to forget because Weatherford is VHS DVD or just looking up the movie on the internet you know that there is still millions of people that love these guys. People who hate them is like hating anything in particular. Because if anybody hates Robert Englund or Ash Williams is going to get a visit from Brad Dourif because May remind you despite him playing Sheriff bracket in the remake of Halloween he is still well known and continues to play an evil in the form of a 2 ft tall doll so if nightmares or dark magic from a book doesn't scare you then you obviously haven't met the notorious Lakeshore Strangler who died transferring his soul into a doll while chanting from the heart of Damballa
@NickWithTeeth That's the great thing about Rob Englund he legitmately loves his fanss and wants to be at the convention. I've seen guests who don't want to be at conventions. Englund loves talking with his fans
Robert Englund made Freddy Krueger and he will always be Freddy Krueger. Even the worst Nightmare movie is bearable because of his energetic performances.
Every interview i see him in, he seems like a guy who just loves his fans. This is going to seem like a stupid question, but does he also do the voice of Freddy, or does someone else do it? Or do they just take his voice and warp it?
HE WAS AWESOME ON MARRIED WITH CHILDREN. Luck had nothing to do with it. He is Freddy. I would pull it off the shelf these days if by chance it was never popular.
Robert Englund is a stand up guy. Not many actors wouldve stood there and had that conversation. I'm just upset because they didn't cast him as Freddy in the nightmare on elm st Remake. Which wasn't better than the original I might add. And for Bruce Campbell, he's a great actor that got type castes as a b movie horror actor. But he could play anything he puts his mind to. But that's what makes Bruce Bruce.
Yeah i agree You can Put Bruce campbell in almost any role and he will a pretty good job. I mean he is fucking Rocking Sam in "Burn Notice" The Retired Seal or as Englund said The ex CIA type of guy. Bruce Campbell is kick ass.
F.Y.I the show Mr. Englund is refering to with Mr.Campbell in it is Burn Notice. It is one of my favorites and it's currently in season 5. It's about a burnt C.I.A spy:Michael Weston as he tries to clear his name and get his C.I.A job back. He gets help from his ex lover Fiona (ex I.R.A op) and Mr.Campbell is Sam Axe.(semi retired covert op. ex Navy SEAL.) Weston's old friend. They help people in need as they try to figure out who burned Weston and why.If you like spy stuff,guns,or C4 try it!
Yeah, like the Conan remake and the Rocky Horror remake... it doesn't matter how good the script is, how good the actor or director are, you just can't capture the charisma, feel, and impact of the original.
Every interview I watch he seems like the absolute nicest guy and coolest person and always so humble. What a legend
I would love to see Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, and Bruce Campbell in a movie together
Robert and Kane were in “Behind the Mask”.
Like a romantic comedy?
They have talked about doing Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash but it was too hard to get all the studios to agree.
Oh it's coming #Brucevsfrankenstien!
@@canadianelite Ash would have killed krueger tho just not Jason 😒 why can't they just let him die again
Englund gives a really thoughtful and considered answer there. It's definitely nice to see a 'fan' receive this kind of response from an actor who could be a jerk if he wanted to - and still get paid at the end of the day. It does make a real difference. :)
Robert England can never be considered a jerk.
I had some drinks with Robert at Slamdance 2008. He was awesome. We talked for like 30 mins. Class act.
Englund has always been a class act. This just proves it.
He made the character seem believable, plus he's one of the very few actors to play the same character consecutively. There's been several Jasons and Michaels and Leatherfaces, but only 1 Freddy Krueger.
Yikes this did not age well
The reboot makes it worse to think of the krueger count
In fairness, Jason and Michael both were masks and don't speak, so it's not really a fair comparison.
@@AliG-fr9oj There's only one REAL Kruger. I say the remake guy doesn't count, there's only one Freddy that matters and he's played by Englund!
I know Robert Englund isn't an A list actor, but it's nice to hear someone from Hollywood who has a good perspective and isn't full of himself.
Id go see Englund in a heartbeat if he were at a movie opening or a book signing
They came from the last great era of Horror, a time when actors and directors both became well known in the genre. Love to see them both do something, maybe Ash v Evil Dead cameo...
Years ago a friend teased me with a rumoured Freddy vs Jason vs Ash movie, but sadly that's the last I heard of it. :-(
Horrors having a resurgence
Robert is so sweet. He's so smart and gracious. Class act!
Robert Englund is the best Freddy Kruger, the new guy was alright but Englund is forever Freddy Kruger especially to those of us who grew up watching the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
Trilogy?
Ailoviu rovert englund quismi you 👄👄👄👄👄👄👄💛💜💓💔💕💖❤👀👀👀👀💗💘💝💞💟
I didn't like that mask Jackie Earl Haley was wearing.
Most actors excel at playing opposite their natural personalities. You can see why Englund is so great at playing a supernatural serial killer.
Robert Englund is 1 of the best horror actors of them all. I really can't picture anyone else but him playing Freddy.
I just love how he so open with his fans and willing to answer there questions
Love Robert Englund
love it..the guys from the 80s, so down to earth and honest and great to talk to it seems like
Met Doug Bradley last year. And Nick Castle. So that covers my childhood nightmares. Well, still need to try meeting Tim Curry this fall.

legend. bring en back. the new nightmare wasn't to good. deffenrtly not freddies dead.
...and of course, the Great Smokey Roadblock. Can't be forgettin' that one. :D
would be nice to see some bruce/robert colaberation in ash vs evil dead.....they bringing in all kinds of cult scene actors in that show.
Bring Freddy in, he wants his glove back.
would be fun, but would bring on mor cr stuff....same reason they can't do army of darkness stuf in a vs ed but i do see work layed out for robert in this franchise....or tim curry from it.....both equally creepy actors imo =)
Bruce has said he'd like Robert to guest star on the show along with Kane Hodder
Otaking Mikohani now that would be sooooo badass....lets hope they make it so.
if anything ash vs evil dead could only get more groovy (if that even is possible ).
And guest Directors.
Robert Englund is a great guy from sweden great actor
Like bruce campbell to
It’s cool that he didn’t put Bruce down he’s a very cool guy about ..that
He is awesome
I would LOVE to have coffee with this guy.
Bro you are a legend as Freddy Kruger.
Freddy Krueger praising Chuck Finley
ROBERT ENGLUND COMES OUT IN AN EPISODE OF KNIGHT RIDER
(FRIGHT NIGHT)
God, he is so expressive! And naturally so! I think he's probably a better actor than we yet know...hmm.
Truth talk Englund, glad your so open minded an stuff. Appreciate you sir! :3
they are both my favorite actors
good answer. no need to go into the whole "who is better" but rather just explain what you think. good job rob!
love robert and bruce both equally
robert englund is the man so is bruce both should be in a movie together
He was great in Dee Sniders' "Strangeland" as well
Bruh needs to rest...enjoy the rest of your life. Your legacy will be remembered for generations to come. Robert Englund, the one and only Freddy Krueger
hes booked for 45 worldwide autograph signings this year :( poor man needs a rest
Englund is awesome and you are the only Freddie
seems very down to earth.
14 years old and still applicable.
What a great guy!
Cool, I get what he's saying about the movie industry being fragmented. Very insightful.
very nice of him to go into depth with his answer, and very very cool of him to boost bruce campbell instead of bashing him. mr englund just won a few respect points with me....
This man is a God amongst men.
Freddy Kreuger vs. Ash .
Take my money !
Bob Englund, nicest guy.
he was a great phantom of the opera toooo!!!!!!!!!! I m a proud owner of a copy of Z.S among others, now thats a funny movie bruce would like!!!!!!!!!!! Its a fav!!!!

Well said.

what a great guy
Great clip
Why wasn't he in the remake he scared the shit outta me when i was a kid .
Robert englund and Bruce Campbell are awesome actor and I still think Bruce is hot and I still had a crush on him
They're probably friends to some extent in real life.
man englund and campbell in a horror movie wold be great
hesw fucking cool... hes not an ass like alot of actors.....and hes just wicked
@NickWithTeeth That's the great thing about Rob Englund he legitmately loves his fanss and wants to be at the convention. I've seen guests who don't want to be at conventions. Englund loves talking with his fans
He's talking about Burn Notice at the end. Win.
Robert Englund made Freddy Krueger and he will always be Freddy Krueger. Even the worst Nightmare movie is bearable because of his energetic performances.
will go down in history as the scariest horror villain ever
I agree totally
He’s right he’s mainstream hahahha
englund is looking good!
I wanna see Englund and Campbell star together.
Wow what a great guy. I would love to hang out with him and bullshit about movie stuff.
Every interview i see him in, he seems like a guy who just loves his fans.
This is going to seem like a stupid question, but does he also do the voice of Freddy, or does someone else do it? Or do they just take his voice and warp it?
damn, i would have loved to see the FvJvA movie, just the have them both on screen
I remember seeing Robert Englund in movies before the Freddie phenomenon. I alwas thought he looked like Pete Townshend.
Nice guy.
Robert: So...uhh that's my theory *smiles*
kid: "uhuhuhuhhh....."
I'm getting mental images of Ash Williams battling Freddy and it's like 9 kinds of awesome
HE WAS AWESOME ON MARRIED WITH CHILDREN. Luck had nothing to do with it. He is Freddy. I would pull it off the shelf these days if by chance it was never popular.
fragmented is good. it means that billions of dollars aren't going to just ONE company.
*cough* Disney *cough*
@Faelsun
read the comic
Goddamnit Robert you're Freddy Krueger why are you being all nice and stuff
he looks better as himself than freddy
Robert Englund is a stand up guy. Not many actors wouldve stood there and had that conversation. I'm just upset because they didn't cast him as Freddy in the nightmare on elm st Remake. Which wasn't better than the original I might add. And for Bruce Campbell, he's a great actor that got type castes as a b movie horror actor. But he could play anything he puts his mind to. But that's what makes Bruce Bruce.
When I watch this, I keep thinking of Pete Townshend. Serious. There are parts where he looks and acts JUST like him.
He was a bit too old to reprise the role of Freddy. I've heard anyway. I think he should have done it, he was fucking awesome. :D
he's awesome.. HE'S FREDDY KRUEGER.. ^^
Yeah i agree You can Put Bruce campbell in almost any role and he will a pretty good job. I mean he is fucking Rocking Sam in "Burn Notice" The Retired Seal or as Englund said The ex CIA type of guy. Bruce Campbell is kick ass.
@Frankenstein61 nice in the comic he does win :P
@neodemon there is a comic called Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash and its pretty amazing
Freddy vs Ash!!
Oh shit this was 15 years ago?!
Thats when I uploaded it yes
for us older people, 2007 is like yesterday.
Unless they plan on showing Freddy before he was burned, wtf is the point of a damn remake?!
@Ninjashadow131 it should have been sigorney weaver,bruce campbell,robert englund,and bill cosby.
@TCM666 hell yes
F.Y.I the show Mr. Englund is refering to with Mr.Campbell in it is Burn Notice. It is one of my favorites and it's currently in season 5. It's about a burnt C.I.A spy:Michael Weston as he tries to clear his name and get his C.I.A job back. He gets help from his ex lover Fiona (ex I.R.A op) and Mr.Campbell is Sam Axe.(semi retired covert op. ex Navy SEAL.) Weston's old friend. They help people in need as they try to figure out who burned Weston and why.If you like spy stuff,guns,or C4 try it!
It fell apart after season 3 though... the new castmate and making him a "James Bond" agency agent just didn't work for me
@jomicvicious If Freddy vs Jason worked out they would have made a sequel with Bruce reprising his role as Ashley... sadly this combo only in comics
@Ninjashadow131 that would have been awesome
Did somebody say guest star in Burn Notice .....
yea he does.
but they edit it and lower the tone a bit to make it more evil...
that new freddy was fucked, this is the only real freddy
Yeah, like the Conan remake and the Rocky Horror remake... it doesn't matter how good the script is, how good the actor or director are, you just can't capture the charisma, feel, and impact of the original.
no offence to Michael Rood but Bruce Campbell should have been the forth charector on black ops call the dead!
Robert Englund = Weird guy
