Kevin Bacon: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

2. Jack Burrell - Friday The 13th

Horror movies have a proud tradition of introducing famous actors to the world; there was Paul Rudd in Halloween 6, Johnny Depp in A Nightmare On Elm Street and a fresh-faced Kevin Bacon in the original Friday The 13th. This isn't a role he looks back upon with any great pride however. As he was just learning the ropes he doesn€™t stand out from the crowd as a future movie star; he€™s just another one of the dumb kids who has sex and dies. In fact, the only reason most people remember he€™s even in it is his memorable death scene, where he gets an arrow stabbed through his throat while sitting in bed. It€™s a shocking and brutal effect, and it went on to become one of the film's most iconic moments. Sadly, while the effect is great, the performance really isn€™t.
