What A Nightmare On Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger Looks Like In Real Life

The ’90s would see the actor go on to one-off roles in major series of the decade like «Walker, Texas Ranger,» «Sliders,» «Babylon 5,» and «Married with Children.» The horror legend capped off the ’90s with horror cameos in «Urban Legend» and «Wishmaster,» and even provided vocals for the hit Elton John song, «Can You Feel the Love Tonight?» From there, he moved on to voicework in two different «Justice League» series in the 2000s and, later on, «The Spectacular Spider-Man» and «Green Lantern: The Animated Series.» Never too far from his genre roots, however, Englund also had brief stints on shows like «Bones,» «Chuck,» «Supernatural,» and «Workaholics.» 

If you think you may have seen the actor in something more recent, it may be because he played traumatized asylum patient Victor Creel in the fourth season of the hit Netflix series, «Stranger Things.» This ought to come as no surprise, as the baddie of that season, Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), was heavily inspired by Freddy Kreuger. Still, with another season of «Stranger Things» coming before the show wraps up for good, we may yet see more of Englund as Victor Creel, especially after it was revealed that his son in the show is actually Vecna.
