The Greatness that is Kane Hodder. Actor, Stuntman, and Jason Voorhees. Kane is the only actor to play Jason Voorhees in multiple Friday the 13th movies. I for one have no issues with any of the guys thats played Jason. Think they all had some strong points. But, Kane created a very strong terminator like figure for Jason.
Complete with deep breaths, a head tilt that is unmistakable, and bull dozed teens over 4 Friday the 13th films. So Kane hats off to you for bringing us a great Jason and we as horror fans will continue to watch your movies and follow your career for years to come. Below is a list of the films Kane has been in and some stats on Kane.
Kane Warren Hodder (born April 8, 1955[1]) is an American actor and stuntman. Standing 6' 3½" ( 192 cm),[2] he is best known for his portrayal of Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th film series.
Hodder is the only actor to portray Jason more than once, in a total of four movies. He has also portrayed horror icons Leatherface in the stunts of the third Texas Chainsaw Massacre film, and Freddy Krueger when he pulls Jason's mask to hell in Jason Goes to Hell.
Although he offered to reprise his role as Jason Voorhees in the 2003 film Freddy vs. Jason, director Ronny Yu replaced Hodder with 6'5½" Canadian stunt man Ken Kirzinger. The switch created controversy amongst fans of the series and has been credited to several rumours, including Kirzinger's location in Canada, and his height compared to Robert Englund, Freddy Krueger's portrayer (although Hodder is still taller than Englund).
Hodder stars in the slasher flick Hatchet as main character Victor Crowley, a physically deformed young boy who comes back from the dead to kill the people who invade the swamp in which he lives.[3] This is similar to Jason Voorhees, who died as a young boy in a lake and came back from the dead to kill people who came to Camp Crystal Lake.
In 2008 Hodder completed filming on the BTK movie in which he plays the BTK Killer.
Hatchet 2 will begin filming shortly picking up right where Hatchet ended.
