Friday The 13th: The 9 Men Behind The Mask

5. Dick Wieand - Played Jason €˜copycat€™ Roy Burns - Friday The 13th: A New Beginning (1985)

image-6 Friday the 13th€™s fifth instalment Friday 13th: A New Beginning technically had no Jason; the killer was a copycat who eventually turned out to be €˜loner€™ Roy Burns, who was played by Dick Wieand. Friday the 13th was the highlight of Wieand€™s acting career, although he€™s not especially proud of his work behind the hockey mask. Wieand went on to become a photographer, his most recent screen work coming in 2003 with Every 43 Seconds. The €˜new beginning€™ moniker of the film didn€™t really come to fruition when fans lashed out against the film and it€™s ending, which implied Tommy Jarvis, who it looked as though had finally killed Jason once and for all in the previous instalment, would become the €˜next Jason€™ when he is seen wearing the famous hockey mask at the end of the film, about to pounce on an unsuspecting victim. This whole twist was quickly dropped and seemingly forgotten about when Friday the 13th returned for a sixth outing in which Jason was quickly, and ridiculously, resurrected.
