Ron Grady, played by Robert Rusler, is a character in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge.
Ron Grady, initially Jesse's rival, grows close to him while they are punished by Coach Schneider. Jesse confides his fears about Freddy Krueger to Ron, and asks him to watch over him while he sleeps to make sure that Freddy does not gain control. Ron falls asleep, Freddy seizes control and transforms Jesse into Freddy, and murders Ron.
According to Robert Englund, a homoerotic subtext implies that Jesse is gay and Freddy is his fear of accepting that fact. Ron is the real object of Jesse's affection, implied when he leaves his girlfriend Lisa Webber after a failed attempt at sex and retreats to Ron's room.
