  • I'm very happy that after many years in the business, he's getting the attention and credit that he deserves. He's truelly rare when it comes to serious talent along with a wonderful personality. May he have a blessed life and career ahead of him. :)

    Btw, Tim Burton is directing 'Dark Shadows' and Steven Speilberg is directing 'Lincoln'. I think that right there shows that Jackie is really getting up rising up.

  • I have a feeling that he's somehow going to shine brightly in both of these movies like he does in basically all of his movies. He seems to have the ability to stand out out of everyone in the cast and leave a lasting impression on you. He's very unique and interesting. I mean, if anyone who's humble and normal in reality plays a crazy or disturbed character to which most audience members talk about the most is a great actor.

  • I'm looking forward to his movies that are coming out next year like 'Dark Shadows' and 'Lincoln'. The first one star Johnny Depp, Michelle Phieffer, and Helen Bonham Carter, and the other star Daniel Day-Lewis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sally Field, and Tommy Lee Jones. He plays secondary roles in those films, Willie Loomis and Alexander Stephens(a real person in history), respectively.

  • I've yet to see his movies like 'All The Kings Men', 'Semi-Pro', and 'Little Children' where he plays Ronnie. He was nominated for an Oscar for that movie but didn't get it unfortunately. To hell with the Academy Awards. I have seen him as Freddy Krueger in the 'Nightmare' remake and he did a great job. He was creepy and pissed off as hell. Hoping he returns for at least 1 or 2 sequels.

  • Knowing Hollywood, he didn't get the acknowledgment or at least an honor. Oh well. At least there a lots of people that know how awesome of a job he did. Also, despite not meeting him yet, I hear that he's such a nice and humble person which showcases his fantastic acting. Most of his characters are dark, creepy, tough and/or badasses when in real life, he seems so fun, sweet, down-to-earth, and soft-spoken. I hope to meet him someday. :)

  • I've heard about him before 'Watchmen', thanks to actor Jack Haley, but didn't think much of him until I'd seen him a bit of 'Bad News Bears' and then 'Watchmen' years later. I gotta tell ya'. This man can act his ass off! He was amazing as Rorschach! I think amazing is an understatement. He was so freakin' awesome that he automatically became my most favorite character of the movie. He should've been nominated for an Oscar and my mother was the one that said this. Yeah. She loved him too. :)

  • I LOVE Rorschach and i am EXTATIC about how Jackie Early Hayley had fit into his role! It ALWAYS amazes me on how well people can act and Jackie is a very good actor! In the movie he has a deep, dark, husky voice and i thought that was his regular vocal cords. But when i watched this, he seems like a little boy/ sounds like a little boy- NOT BASHING!- compared to a scarry sinister voice that Rorschach has. YOU GO JACKIE EARLY HAYLEY!!

  • let us down? dude i fucking LOVED your performance!

  • he is one of the 10 or maybe 5 best actors in the world now i believe extremely talented person

  • That's Kelly Leak

  • f-yoplait

  • No need to fret Jackie! Yu didn't disappoint us not one bit! (:

  • I tell you, he makes Rorschach hot. Smokin. Hot.

  • Freddy Krueger 2010 FTW

  • And to think this guy is the voice behind Rorschach and Freddy Kruger..

  • well, he didn't let me down as rorschach. thumbs up if he didn't let you down either.

  • i axtully love this actor to bits he's amazing litterly.

  • God I wish he had let Zack put that tape on the DVD.

  • It's amazing how he plays really creepy and dark characters in his movies, but in real life he's a really nice guy, friendly and outgoing. Now THAT'S an actor, not someone who's exactly the same in every movie he's in. He has such diversity. From Ronnie in Little Children to Dukes in Semi-Pro to Freddy Krueger!!!

    He's definately in my Top 5 favorite actors...

  • Comment removed

  • This guy is awesome!!

  • this guy looks like the nicest person in the world!

  • he looks a bit like someone I know.

    of all the movies and clips I have seen of him, he seems to play unusual/creepy characters, and I think as an actor, he pulls the performances off very well

  • he sounds NOTHING like Rorschach !!!!

  • This guy is Freddy Krueger!? WoW! Great acting dude!!!

  • Wow, talk about a BIG difference between his real voice to his Rorschach voice. And his entire attitude is different. Haley seems like a happy, fun guy. Rorschach oozes grim badass.

  • if Rorschach wasn't already loved he made him everyone's favorite character and it is amazing how nice he is here..compared to the dark character of Rorschach. Even the last scene were he dies is perfect you can see the pain in his face and he sacrifices himself

  • I LOVE THIS MAN

  • Jackie is such a sweetheart <3

  • i think the group of people were chanting his name..lol

  • Rorschach was incredible, his narrating was genius and he was my favorite character. He pulled that whole movie together for me. He was true to himself that it was extremely admirable.

  • hell yeah dude, i think Jackie stole the show as Rorschach, and that's saying a lot, because there was lots of great talent on screen alongside him. Jackie is turning out to be the next big thing in Hollywood!

  • @spiritsword83 Yeah , I agree with the next big thing prediction. His acting had so much realism that his demise pains me to watch in the movie. He was just that good.

  • bad news bears kelly:)

  • hes the one that makes me wish that guys now would look like he did as a teen he was SEXXAAYY!!!!

  • If you like the movie or not, this guy plays a great Rorschach.

  • i cant wait to see his portrayal in nightmare on elm street but i absolutely ADORED him as rorschach

  • /kneel

    All hail Jackie Earle Haley.

    All hail Rorschach.

    ...

  • God I love this man ahahahaha!! He likes using the word "fanboy" and the phrase" hit it out of the park" a lot!! hahaa!

  • it;s like making an Indiana Jones movie without Harrison Ford or a Rocky movie without Sylvester Stallone.

  • I can't believe he was the kid from bad news bears! the badass with the dirtbike

  • He was the best in that movie

  • >>>You're right. He really was. The prison line he says was SO RUTHLESS!

    "Don't you people understand? I'm not the one locked in here with you...You're locked in here with ME!" Too awesome!

  • Wow, this guy played the most badass character in the movie? What a great actor.

  • HAHA! It's kinda hard to think that this is Rorschach huh.

  • Jackie earle haley could never let us down as Rorshach...he did an epic job!!!!

  • Awesome actor and a wonderfully nice guy. I had a chance to meet him in San Diego at Comic-Con, although, ironically, I ran into him at Starbucks. He was just hanging in line with a ballcap, shades and a newspaper and I told him I loved him in Bad News Bears and he laughed his ass off. At that point he and I chatted about Watchmen and how excited he was for the movie. From MY perspective...just a hell of a nice guy. And a guy, now, that I will always root for. Thx Jackie. You're the best.

  • Of course he's an exceptionally nice down-to-Earth guy, brother....he's from San Antonio;)

  • Im soooo jealous!! hahaa!

  • @Supermonkey22 Thats so lucky! Never met the guy but just from watchin all these vids about him, he seems really nice. if i ever get the chance to meet him someday, or any actor for that matter, i probably wouldn't know what to say to him!

  • no he did the voice himself.

  • rorschach hasme el amorrrrrrr

  • wow im goinging to sound really stupid. but i love him:).and he is a very good rorschach.and Jokerfest where did you get a rorschach poster?.ok ok to sum it up hes a really sweet guy and I LOVE HIM!

  • I Totally Agree XD Jackie Earle Haley is awwesome!

  • Jackie = FTW!

  • I loved him in the movie! Great performance.

  • Jackie Earle Haley just seems like a gentle and nice guy and it's amazing how he can transform himself into a evil character and perform it so very good. I was really angry when i heard that Robert Englund would not take on the roll as Freddy Krueger, but if someones gonna replace him it's this guy!

  • Wow...seeing and hearing him in reality just shows how fantastic his acting skills are.

  • Let us down, Jackie?!! Yeah right! Jackie was amazing! God, he was the star! *hugs rorschach poster to chest*

  • ask me everything about movie

  • I love Jackie, and i agree with hannahdabeast- he is a great actor watching him reminds me why i love to act! i cant stomach scary movies but for Jackie- im willing to rehash my fear of the dark just to see him act as freddy!

  • hahahahha, hey, dont put fingers down... he is right. i didnt think that the actor who performed rorschach was so gay... He did it very good!

  • i'm not saying he didn't do it good, he was fucking awesome. But it's like... i imagined him to be a bit more badass and a bit less "CLANG CLANG CLANG WITH THE TROLLYYYYYYY!"

  • im agree with you

  • he dosent even need to wear freddys costume

  • yh he was awesome as rorschach and even though i cant imagine anyone else being freddy (englund is krueger) i think he could do an awesome job and totally revitalise the series

  • this guy is gonna be freddy ?

    oh my god

  • You think his voice is different just talking? You should have seen him in Little Children. He's such an amazing actor. I like his work a lot, he did great as Rorschach. :D

  • Jackie will make great Freddy hes amazing actor and will bring back everything we love about Freddy and Robert himself is excited he is playing Freddy.

  • hes sounds nothing like the guy he played in watchmen,really great acting he did

  • reminds me of the monopoly guy...the dude ace ventura knocked out and danced with hahaha

  • LMAO,he does

  • I hope he does get the role of "Freddy". I've been a fan of his work for some time and I think he deserve to have this role. He's been in the film industry for a very long time. He started out as a child star in the "Bad News Bears" in the 70's. So I wish him all the luck in future film parts. Bravo on your work on the "Watchmen".

    Peace,

    RedBeard

  • Not only did he get the role of Freddy Krueger, to my knowlege, they're already filming the movie, as they have released the first picture of Jackie Earle Haley as Krueger today. (Albeit a dark picture, where you don't see his face.)

  • He did the film is already done the trailer came out today at Comic Con

  • he is the next Freddy.

  • i dont want to see this guy playing freddy!!!!!

  • Obviously you know nothing of Jackie Earle Haley's madd skillz, because he could play any part that came his way ever, including Freddie, and knock that shit out of the park.

  • He's a great actor,I agree!

  • he should win an award for the role of rorshach he nailed it even movie critics said he did a great performance im a fan of watchmen for anyone who hasnt seen the movie i highly recommend it and i highly recommend the ghraphic novel its one of the best you will ever read

  • So everyone knows, Mr. Haley is playing Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare remake next year lol

  • the roarchak voice was much cooler ^^

  • he had to play the coolest role of the movie... and he did it VERY GOOD!

  • Definately :)

    Looks like he's a great guy in person too.

  • Oh lord, JEH is a sexy beast, whether he knows it or not. And he's a got a great personality to boot.

  • Bestill my heart, Jackie. <3 Hahaha

  • u dident let me down with roarchak

  • Jackie is awesome like that.

  • I love him!! he's so humble... he MADE this movie and he was breath taking, but he won't talk about himself he just praises everyone else. and I love that if he wants a part he doesn't sit around waiting for someone to offer it to him, he goes and gets it. He's one of the most genuine, talented, (not to mention GORGEOUS) actors I have ever seen. I'm completely smitten by him. :)

  • Jackie Earle Haley was the best thing about 'Watchmen'. He was definitely solid.

  • im hoping him or the comedian get an oscar cus im tieard of actors from movies ive never heard about or hated geting one

  • He totally didn't let us down. He was perfect.

  • dame right

  • did yall know that he is going to play the new Freddy Krugar in the new movie A Nightmare on Elm Street.......no joke!

  • Yeah, that sucks! I want Robert Englund back! >:(

  • It kinda freaks me out that a short, fun guy like Jackie plays so many creepy, disturbing roles.

  • Aw, Jackie, you didn't let us down at all. You were the best part of the movie!

    Why is this man so adorable? XD It's amazing that he can be so genial in real life and still play the most intense characters. I still have trouble stomaching his very convincing performance in Little Children.

  • Rorschach was perfect he did an awesome job i herd he gonna act as freddy krueger in a new movie

  • The movie would have been nothing without Jackie Earl Haley.

    He deserves at least an Oscar, and I hope to see him on the big screen again soon!

    He is by far one of my favorite actors of all time

  • When he says he hopes he dosn't let the fans down as rorschach . He didn't he deserves a Oscar for his wondeful preformance as Rorschach

  • Couldn't imagine a better Rorschach - the fact that his character is so different than his real-life demeanor shows what a great actor he is. 5 stars.

  • He didn't put me down. Think he did a fine job. <3

  • Jackie is a very good actor!!

  • He was perfect as Rorschach

  • omg, he has the cutest voice.

    lol, k, that sounds wierd.

    i dunno, his voice is just all boy-ish. haha.

  • he rules. i'd hit that all day.

  • freddy? awesome

  • Freddy? No.

  • exactly, this guy looks older than englund

  • You didn't let us down. You knocked it out of the park,, Jackie.

  • great actor!!

  • He was in the original the bad news bears movie.He was the bad kid who road the motorbike and smoked.He was only 15 in that movie

  • I think he's so damn cute too XD I love his work in Watchmen. He impress so much as Walter Kovak an as Rorschach. As the same of you I had never heard of him before Watchmen, now I now that we was nominated in the Oscars. I would like to see more of his work

  • then watch 'Little Children.'

    he plays a recently-released pedophile who isnt exactly 'cured' of his problem, but you feel oddly sympathetic towards him.

    great movie.

  • Great, great, GREAT movie. I watched it for the first time not too long ago and it actually gave me the shivers.

  • Thank u 4 the suggestion, I've already watched it, and I agree with you, I felt pity for Ronnie and yes oddly sympathetic to him, it's strange to feel that for a man who has a bad behavior as him (Ronnie). This is what a great performance can do, well here is another proof of how good actor JAckie can be. Now I understad why he was nominated to the oscar's

  • he is so god damn cute!

  • I know! xD I just want to pat his head

  • He should put that audition video he's talking about on YouTube. A lot of people would like to see that.

  • hahahah he sound soo nice when his not rorschaching

  • Jackie ! u did not let us rorschach fans down. An amazing performance u did as rorschach !!!

    Jackie looks like a really nice guy and i just love his voice : D XD :)

  • I never heard of Jackie Earle Haley before "Watchmen" but, DAMN! He's one of my favourite actors now. Props to him for his performance, the supporting cast and to Zack Snyder.

  • He was semi-famous from the mid 70's to mid 80's. Put his name in the search, if you want to see him as a kid.

  • I will, thank you. :)

  • He was always Rorschach. Most of his roles, he played an undersized baddass, who could bring down a big guy, with just his meanness. I couldn't find much of that on YouTube, in fact I couldn't find much of his old stuff on YouTube at all, though I have a feeling that will change. The best one I could find was one of his first roles, in the Bad News Bears. He's not yet intirely Rorschach, but he is pointed in that direction. Paste this on the end of the YouTube url: watch?v=A8ognCwAk3c

  • So that's he's real voice? Cool.

  • I love his comment about "movie stars". He seems like such a really great guy, so down to earth and devoted to his craft. There needs to be more actors like him.

  • He must WIN the Oscar for Rorschach!

  • he is going to be next freddy guranteed!!!

  • that guy seems reaaaally cool

  • Ever watch The Bad News Bears movie?

    He was the rebel teen kid with the motorcycle

  • A terrific actor and he seems like such a lovely fellow. I am so glad they decided to do something "different" as he put it. I loved the whole film, but he just did something so incredible with his part. If you ever read this Jackie, thank you!

  • i wish guy was really like roshack, that be awesome.

  • He was great in the movie

  • the best hero - theme movie I have ever seen. Love your performance, really.

  • Jackie- You were the bomb man, and sexy as hell too. Loved ya in the movie- no one else could have done as well.

  • I honestly loved him and im sad what happened to roarchack

  • Jeez can there ever be a better Rorschach, Jackie totally submerged himself into the role, when I was watching the movie, the whole time I was watching the scenes with him I was shocked, blown away and when he wasn't in the scene I would be like "where's rorschach, when is he going to pop back in?!" lol

    as many people said he is like the Heath Ledger's Joker, he literally stole the show, and you can't help but to root for him.

  • Jackie, you didn't let us down, you exceeded our expectations!

    Brilliant, brilliant acting. I doubt there could have been a better Rorschach.

  • so true bro,

    there cant be and never will be a better Rorshach

    just like the Heath Ledgers Joker.

  • its too bad they're pretty fucked on that whole he cant play him again...

    he is the best one

    he fit the role sooo well becuase they made him sooo sadistic.

  • He wasn't sadistic in the least. He didn't enjoy causing pain, or got off on it, which is what Sadists do. He felt compelled to stop evil, and at any costs. Watch him just before he kills the kidnapper. He freaks out. He struggles not to do it, then can't hold back. A sadist would relish the violence. He does not.

  • I agree

    There were very few moments in the movie that hit as strong as their counterparts in the book.

    But that one scene when he became rorschach was BETTER then the one in the book. The dude had a mask on and I could feel his struggle, the tension, his transformation. He never killed them before, and at the moment everything changed

    I just wish all the other scenes and actors did as good a job :(

  • Until, of course, Snyder hires Mark Hamill to do the Joker in an adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns.

  • Yeah, Rorschach and Blake were perfect. It was a pretty cool movie.

  • When I first heard he'll do Rorschach I thought it'll stink. But he was just too awesome...

    I would've liked to see more fight scenes with him. He's the best character from both the movie and the book.

  • Are people chanting, "Jackie! Jackie!" in the background?

  • He's got nothing to worry about. He's the only reason why I'll buy the dvd.

  • He was scarier than hopkins as hannibal lecter

  • That audition tape would be neat to see.

    He *was* Rorschach. I couldn't ask for a better performance. Just wonderful.

  • He need not worry. I was completely blown away by his performance.

  • He did not disappoint. He did the best in my opinion. The movie was great. All of them did a good job.

  • He is my mom's friend's husband. Pretty sweet. Amelia Cruz.

  • he was so badass as rochrac he did not let the fans down most deff

  • I agree with the guy below me... soooooooo badass!

  • i loved after he threw the hot oil on the inmate he looks at the rest of the prisoners and says "the thing you all have to remember is. i am not locked in here with you all....you all are locked in here with me !!!!!!!!!

  • He was perfectly cast. I absolutely loved his Rorschach.

  • Jackie does not need to worry, he did NOT let the fans down, he was absolutley fantastic as Rorschach and as Walter Kovacs!

  • Rorschach FTW!!!!

  • The character was already interesting in the book but with this guys voice and performance he brought it to another level like Ledger, maybe even better

  • Somebody yelled at me on YT when I responded to their dismay of his character's voice not sounding like Alan Moore's voice, despite the fact that other than Moore's Britisch accent, they weren't too far off.

    He even went further to send me a hate mail message lol.

  • Yeah, Rorschach is one of the coolest characters ever, in my opinion.

  • wow and i thought heath ledger was a good actor in the dark knight til i saw this guys performance.. hes awesome!!

  • he looks completely different from watchmen,

  • I thot that one scene was brutal where he kills the child killer and starts stabbing his head with that Meat Cleaver!!! That was not pretty at fuckin all

  • He did an amazing job on that role. I don't think any reasonable person could be disappointed by it.

  • Man for such a humble and awesome guy he became the most sociopathic and dark character any actor could positively have become! I'd say watch this movie just for his great performance!

  • still can't believe that this guy is rorschach. the voice sounds wayy different. from what i've seen so far he seems like a great actor

  • thats why hes a good actor

  • thank goodness the cast wasn't made up of A-list actors. That would have taken a lot away. Although, I could Imagine the Adrian Veidt Charector being played by someone a bit older looking.

    And yes Jacjie Earl Haley desreves all the good things that are coming his way. See "Breaking Away" (1979) "Moocher".

  • this interviewer has no idea what she is talking about as far as the first question goes. Rorshach, Makeup? WTF?
