Friday The 13th: The 9 Men Behind The Mask

1. Derek Mears - Friday the 13th (2009)

imageee Even without the Jason get-up, Derek Mears is a scary looking dude (don€™t tell him I said that!). Looking eerily like the illegitimate love child of WWE wrestler Kane and Brain from Pinky & The Brain (don€™t tell him I said that either!) The 6€™5€ actor/stunt man has some pretty big shoes to fill, both figuratively and literally. Mears was a relative unknown until he was cast as the Crystal Lake killer for the Michael Bay produced remake of the classic slasher film. He€™s had small roles on TV shows such as E.R., The Shield and Alias and in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Men In Black II and The Hills Have Eyes 2 on the big screen. Mears has an impressive stunt resume as well, having worked on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (even if it did suck), World Trade Center and two Pirates of the Caribbean films. Putting on the infamous Jason Voorhees hockey mask will undoubtedly be Derek Mears€™ biggest role to date though, and on Friday the 13th February 2009, we€™ll see how he measures up to his many predecessors when the Friday the 13th remake slashes it€™s way into cinemas. Who is your favourite Jason€?
