6. Ted White - Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)
Ted White had been a stunt double for screen legends John Wayne, Lee Marvin and Clark Gable before he donned Jasons blood-stained hockey mask for the fourth instalment of Friday the 13th. His stunt work had begun in the 1950s but it was three decades later that he took on the role he would become best known for. Initially White was unsure about playing Jason, but in need of the money, he reluctantly signed on. His time on the Friday the 13th set was tumultuous to say the least; he asked to be uncredited for his role and clashed with director Joseph Zito, even threatening to quit at one point. In the years that followed his turn behind the mask, White continued to contribute stunt work on the big screen, most notably on Wild Wild West and Gone In 60 Seconds. As an actor his most high profile post-Jason appearance was on an episode of The X-Files in 1998.
