One-time movie icon Robert Englund

Imposing California-born actor of Swedish heritage Robert Englund has been in quite a list of movies, but his celebrity comes mainly from having played Freddy Krueger, the teenager-murdering villain in the Nightmare on Elm Street movie series, which began in 1984.

Englund's first movie role was in the 1974 movie Buster and Billie. He found a niche in horror films, by far the best-known of which have been those in which he played the fearsome Freddy.

Perhaps his next best role was in Phantom of the Opera, in 1989.
