It is in fact the first time that anybody played Freddy other than Robert Englund. This was met with plenty of criticism but Robert gave his blessing and felt that Jackie Earle Haley did a great job portraying Freddy.

Yes. Robert Englund plays himself and Freddy Krueger in Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Actually, in the end credits, it clearly says that Freddy Krueger played himself. i dont know if it was a typo, but thats what it says.
Yes, it is! Except for the new remake, Robert Englund has played Freddy in every single Nightmare on Elm Street movie, plus the TV show, Freddy's Nightmares.
New Nightmare
Jason Voorhees was played by Ken Kirzinger, while Freddy Krueger was played by Robert Englund.
Robert englund as freddy krueger Micheal Meyers Jason vorhees
Probably not, and if so, not with Robert Englund. He has officially announced that he has retired from his role of Freddy Krueger.
In the original films, it was Robert Englund as both burnt and unburnt Freddy. In the remakes, it was Jack Earle Haley as both the burnt and unburnt Freddy.
Robert Englund has portrayed Freddy Krueger every time so far. (with the exception of the 2010 remake - Jackie Earle Haley played the part)
