He was Kelly Leak in The Bad News Bears; He was one of the kids in Breaking Away; He brilliantly played a reformed pedophile in Little Children; He stole the show as Rorschach in Watchmen; now, they Hollywood Reporter is breaking the news that Jackie Earle Haley is going to play Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. An Oscar nominated actor in a horror flick... I f'ing love it.
If you don't know who he is, or wonder "Oh yeah, what ever happened to him?", then take a gander at this article.
I absolutely hate the idea of this remake, but now that Jackie Earle Haley is on board, I'm 1000% geeked to see what he does.
