‘Bones’ Slasher Episode gets Freddy Krueger Actor

Posted on

Well those of us who love our SciFi and Horror all know Robert Englund very well from TV and movies like V the original, Galaxy of Terror, The Phantom of the Opera, The Vampyre Wars and the list goes on and on but most everyone knows him as Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street. Now that actor Robert Englund has been replaced by Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger in the A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot, Englund has a bit more time to once again take on other roles and do some special guest appearances on TV series.

Englund who is now age 62 has signed on to appear in a episode of Fox’s hit television series Bones. The plan is to make a slasher-themed episode and have Englund play a creepy custodian at Brennan’s old high school.

The story finds jaded Brennan (Emily Deschanel) planning to skip her high school reunion, until a murder sends her and Booth (David Boreanaz) to the scene to investigate. The episode will air this spring.

David Tennant Quits ‘Doctor Who’

Posted on

The BBC has announced that Scottish actor Tennant will be leaving the long-running science fiction series "Doctor Who" in just over a year. Tennant has played the time and space traveling alien hero since 2005. He will appear in a Christmas special and four hour-long episodes to be aired in 2009 and early 2010. But he said Wednesday that when the series returns for a full season in 2010, "it won’t be with me."

"This show has been so special to me," Tennant said. "I don’t want to outstay my welcome."

"Doctor Who" was first broadcast in 1963 and is one of the longest-running Sci-Fi series in TV history and is one of the most popular programs on BBC. Tennant is the 10th actor to play the title character, who has the power to regenerate in a new body.

The classically trained Tennant, 37, is currently starring in Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" for the Royal Shakespeare Company.

So whats your thoughts on Tennent quiting? And who do you think should be a good the 11th Doctor?
