The 58 year old actor and comedian, who earned an MTV Movie Award for Best Comedic Performance thanks to his supporting role in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s True Lies, made his film debut in Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, the supposed finale of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, which arrived in September 1991.
In addition to Tom and Roseanne, Freddy’s Dead featured a cameo from Johnny Depp, who’d gotten his big break in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street.
The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise has helped launch many a film career in Hollywood, including Johnny Depp, Patricia Arquette, and Kelly Rowland, just to name a few.
There’s a connection between the legendary shock rocker and Arnold’s latest film, Dead Ant.
