He was identified as "Man on the Street" in "What You Need."

Interesting why they use "Man." Robert Englund would be 12 yrs old in 1959. I gotta watch that episode again tonight.

On IMDB he's listed as "Fred Kruger." His last credit was in 1961, the year he died ... only to return to stalk kids in their dreams.

Wait, was that a joke? Hahaha... flew over my head. Fred Kruger, was an actual actor born in 1913, and was the "Man in the street."

That's still interesting because a man on the street sounds scary and mysterious, so having such a name is very apropos.

Really? I've ever seen him any different from Willie from V
