Jackie Earle Haley stars in "Human Target" on FOX as Guerrero. He also stars in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (2010) as Freddy Krueger.
After disappearing from acting for 15 years, Jackie Earle Haley is the epitome of the Hollywood comeback, resurrecting his career and earning an Academy Award nomination in the process.
Haley's remarkable resurgence began in October 2004, when Academy Award winner Steven Zaillian wanted Haley to audition for the part of Sugar Boy in his film "All the King's Men."
This past spring, he starred as Rorschach in the feature film adaptation of "Watchmen," based on the best-selling graphic novel. In fall 2009, he stars opposite Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo in director Martin Scorsese's mystery-thriller "Shutter Island." Haley is currently filming "A Nightmare on Elm Street," a re-imagining of the 1980s horror classic, where he portrays iconic killer Freddy Krueger, scheduled for release in 2010.
After coming to prominence in the 1970s as the cigarette-smoking, motorcycle-riding hellion Kelly Leak in the feature film comedy "Bad News Bears" and its two sequels, Haley went on to play the practical, laid back but short-tempered Moocher in the Academy Award-winning film "Breaking Away." In 1983, he played the sex-obsessed Dave in Curtis Hanson's "Losin' It" opposite Tom Cruise, and on Broadway he performed with Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon and Val Kilmer in "Slab Boys."
The successful transition from child actor to adult actor was elusive, and Haley was forced to rethink his career path. He turned his attention to directing, and tried his hand at various professions, including limousine driver and security officer, in an effort to pay the bills. Haley struggled for years until finally gaining some success directing industrial videos and television commercials.
Haley moved to San Antonio, Texas, where he eventually started his own company, JEH Productions, Inc., making regional commercial spots for companies. He continues to reside in the Lone Star State when acting jobs don't take him away from home.
