Robert Englund Recalls His Most Iconic Roles from 'Freddy Krueger' to 'Stranger Things' | Role Call

I just met Robert for the first time a few weeks ago! Still in disbelief..he’s Always been my idol. truly a sweet, humble human being

[cameronholladay]

Even if he won’t put on the makeup or the glove again, it’s incredible he can still turn into Krueger at the drop of a hat. Same with Brad Dourif as Chucky. Can’t believe they’re both in their mid-70s!

[tifferzturner]

He’s a legend & one of my most favourite actors of all time . I’d love to just sit there & chat with him, he’s so genuine & humble ! How could you not love this man ❤

[shawnamunyer]

I could sit and talk with Robert Englund all day and not get bored. What an absolutely precious man.

Robert Englund crossed my mind this morning because I wanted to revisit his humbleness.

I always loved how grounded he was in interviews regarding the realities of being an actor in Hollywood. He was always grateful of the Freddy Kruger opportunity. And ever since, he’s always embraced the world by showing up to events, signing autographs, showing off the Freddy Kruger claws… loving the entire process.

So great, so humble. Love Robert Englund. ❤

He did the Voice of Vulture in Spectacular Spider-Man and Riddler in The Batman

Robert has such incredible depth and intelligence. We need more actors like him in modern times.

[cbrdealer]

Robert, you are not too old. We need you in the role.

[jasonxavier]

I love how, despite how long ago his stories are & how much time has passed, he remembers and accounts everything so vividly like it was yesterday! How awesome!! Thanks Robert for sharing this with us

[lukepbriggs]

I could listen to this legend all day. A personal hero to me. 🧡

[kissmy_butt]

People forget he played such a gentle soul on the sci fi show in V and then played the most iconic horror villain.

[Simply_Human]

His character in "V" is underrated "I am just" that's how I communicate offline I'm so shy and confused haha, but seriously he's done some great work through the years, glad to see him in Stranger Things, as many did I grew up with his film work in Nightmare on elm street etc. thank you for the great memories and great work ❤

[luke_bryan_shakes_it_country]

Robert is fantastic & im so fascinated with how artistic he is! He got me into horror. I could listen to him for hrs especially telling stories around the campfire. I love how appreciative and the real deal he is!!

[fournierman]

I met Robert Englund a couple times. He is a very cool guy.

[joe]

great interview, he will always be my favorite actor and the one and only, Freddy Kruger to me.

[muratsinanengin]

One of the names I still remember from my childhood.

[livetorek]

WE LOVE YOU ROBERT ENGLUND YOU ARE THE DEFINITION OF TALENT🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[candice]

He is such a legend. I just love Robert.

[ckhrvne]

Dear Robert, for us grew up in the 80s Sweden you will always be Willie!

[nelsonnoname]

I would love to see Robert Englund in some other roles, still feel like he would make a good comedic or dramatic supporting actor even at his age, feel like we missed out on some possible gems with him being Freddy for so long - a good dude
