Robert Englund

"Robert Barton Englund (born June 6, 1947) is an American actor, best known for playing the fictional serial killer FReddy Krueger, in the Nightmare on Elm Street film series.
He received a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors in 1987 and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master in 1988.
Despite his reputation for appearing in exploitative horror films, Englund is a classically trained actor."

However the movies from 1995 onwards are B-rated.
It would seem that he can olny find work in pathetic imitation 'horror' moives which hope to have some cRedit by association to his PAST glory s.
So as you reach "Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer 2008" he clearly does not care about his reputation, he almost is parodying himself.
