Robert Englund’s done an amazing job over the years playing Freddy. Everybody that’s a fan of ‘Nightmare’ loves Robert and you know so that’s a challenge when you’ve got to step in a big man’s shoes like that, so it’s scary but it’s also exciting.

I’m an actor, I worry about everything.
You know, at this point, my focus still is acting, but I think at some point in time, I definitely want to do some directing, I’m just not sure when. But it’s not on my plate big-time right now, just because I’m busy, and I’m having such a great time.
When you act, it’s better not to fake the emotion. It’s better to find the emotion within yourself and your experiences, and see if you can bring that back to the surface, so that you can then literally hand it off to the character, and then let him run with it.
