Roberto's performance as Freddy is praise-worthy! The personality this guy channeled as Freddy is a dead ringer of Robert Englund's portrayel as Freddy! If the next ANOES film decides to continue the old series rather than the mediocre remake, New Line should hire Roberto to play Freddy, or if not, make the film CGI so Robert can still play Freddy but not do any physical work (the actual reason why he stopped playing Freddy is because he felt too old to play Freddy in a physical role).

Thank you, Dream_Demon for the praise in regard to my Freddy Krueger performance!
I very much appreciate it!

Thanks also using the word "channelled" as I didn't want to just copy Robert. I wanted the audience to recognize instantly that this was Freddy while he was alive. I am also a huge fan of Robert Englund and I felt that just copying him wouldn't be respectful to him or the character!
