Jackie Earle Haley

Just a note to alert you that I've discovered Jackie Earle Haley is an actor who is capable of being creepy as hell. Were you already in possession of this information? I saw Little Children last weekend and the guy gave me the heebie jeebies and strong discomfort right through my dusty TV screen. I didn't know who he was but learned he also played Rorschach in Watchmen, just beaming out that nasty psycho vibe like he was born for the part. I have also read he is going to be Freddy Krueger in some remake of Nightmare on Elm Street that is coming up. I have no faith in the modern horror filmmakers but this guy certainly has the capability of bringing to the screen a Freddy Krueger who should not be viewed under any circumstances.

I actually had a crush on him when I was a wee Wednes. He played Kelly Leak in Bad Bews Bears. He grew up to be pretty hideous...but it's not like you have to be stunning to play Freddy.

He was awesome in Watchmen. I looked him up after I saw the movie, was going to check out more of his stuff.

After we watched the Watchmen, I imdb'd him. I was surprised to find that he was in Breaking Away! That was a movie I absolutely loved when I was little. I have no idea why I loved it so much, but I sure 'nuff did.

Yeah, but he's super creepy! A good actor, too!
