  Close Up Jackie Earle Haley   Born in Northridge, California, 14 July 1961. Jackie became an ac tor at age 5, appearing in commercials and TV shows but it was in the 1976 baseball movie ‘The Bad News Bears’, playing Kelly Leak, that got the attention of Hollywood and his career took off and was widely accepted as a child star; making it to #87 of VH1’s top 100 Greatest Kid Stars. He reprised his role of Leak twice more in The Bad News Bears in Training and The Bad News Bears in Japan. He was a popular actor, mixing with the likes of Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern and Johnny Depp. It was the same audition that Depp got chosen for A Nightmare on Elm Street that saw Haley try out for Freddy Krueger; that went to Robert England.

When you can pick any period in time, any nationality, any culture, any type of person and make them an immortal that have to duel and deal with the burden of immortality, that's f***ing cool to me. So, my take on it would be to somehow maintain the vibe and mythology and feeling of the first movie. Not go off the rails with too much plot, and really develop the world of the immortals. I don't care what the mortals are doing, I want to be invested in the immortal world and hold true to the original as much as I can." The...
