I disagree grim; yes, he was fantastic as Rorshach, but with the Freddy gig he'll end up playing him in several sequels and would probably not benefit from it as far as any 'legitimate' roles being offered.
Think about it. How many great actors today got their start in horror films and were taken seriously afterward, Jamie Lee Curtis (mediocre) notwithstanding? I know he's been around, but judging by his filmography it's not like he's had any stellar work other than Watchmen, which one would think would land him more 'quality' roles. Freddy Kruger will keep this guy down.
