3. Kane Hodder - Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988), Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason takes Manhattan (1989), Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday (1993) and Jason X (2001)
Kane Hodder is easily the most well known of the men behind Jasons hockey mask, having played Mrs. Voorhees baby boy in four films, he also has the unusual distinction of having a middle of the road American punk band named after him. Considered the definitive Jason by many, Hodder was always destined to be a hulk of a man, he was reportedly the largest baby ever born in his hometown in California. Hodder was extremely outspoken about not being invited back to play Jason in Freddy Vs. Jason, supposedly quipping at a convention when asked about Jasons look in the film I guess they wanted Jason to look like a skinny little bitch this time A stunt man by trade, Hodders portrayal of Jason ensured he would become somewhat of a legend with horror fans across the globe, a status amplified further by his work on the third Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Hodder has provided stunt work on the likes of Under Siege, Demolition Man, Se7en, Spawn and Rob Zombies The Devils Rejects. As an actor, Kane Hodders biggest film roles have all been in horrors; he played the title character in Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield and played the killer Mr. Crowley (Ozzy would be proud) in Hatchet. Hodders passion for his role of Jason Voorhees saw him have the word Kill! tattooed on the inside of his lip. Yet despite his physically imposing physique and his love of playing maniacal killers on screen, he is reportedly an extremely friendly guy. A keen poker player, whos been known to play in celebrity tournaments, hes a regular at the conventions that seemingly all ex-Jasons must attend. Hodder has a great deal of time for his fans and also spends time in childrens burns centres, something he has a deep connection with after he was badly burnt during a stunt accident years back. He has a number of horror projects in the pipeline and will also reportedly be returning for a Hatchet sequel, so much like Jason, you cant keep Kane Hodder down.
