10 Awesome Things Actors Have Done While In Costume

10. Kane Hodder Appearing On The Arsenio Hall Show Dressed As Jason Voorhees

Kane Hodder is considered by many to be the greatest actor to portray the horror icon Jason Voorhees. He has appeared in four films of the franchise, including: Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and lastly Jason X. During the summer of 1989 Hodder, while promoting Jason Takes Manhattan, appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show completely decked-out as Jason Voorhees; hockey mask, hatchet and all. Arsenio€™s introduction was priceless, explaining: "The term, deranged sociopath gets thrown around a lot by the media but it really applies to my next guest." What followed was five minutes of awkward awesomeness, as Jason Voorhees the character (not Kane Hodder) gets grilled with questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09yOZsZuxMY Arsenio asks him about his anger issues, how he feels about being typecast as a "big knife killer" and if he has ever thought about doing a musical. Hodder remains silent the entire time, looking like he's ready to snap at any moment, which makes the segment all the more hilarious.
