429.0. "Calling all Friday the 13th fans..." by 38539::MACARTHUR () Wed Jan 12 1994 16:52

    I know I'll get a lot of flack for this, but my mind is a blank right
    now, and I'm going nuts, so hopefully someone can answer this question
    for me - Who is the actor who played Jason in the Friday the 13th
    movies?  A co-worker would like to send a letter to him to get his
    autograph and a picture for her nephew, but needs to find out his name
    and where to send the letter to.
    
    Thanks much!

I assume your serious. She really wants an autographed photo for her nephew?
Does she have any idea what the Friday 13th films are like? I wouldn't want
to censor these or any other films but I would strongly discourage (and not
allow if possible) my nephew to see these, much less encourage it with an
autographed photo.

  Depends on the age of the nephew. If he's under 10 then I'd agree, but if
he's a teenager then it would make sense. Slasher films are made mostly for
teenagers who are the only people who seem to be able to stomach those movies
much less enjoy them. 

  For anyone over 21, if the gore doesn't get you the bad acting will really
turn your stomach.

429.3I am serious!38539::MACARTHURWed Jan 12 1994 18:409
    Believe it or not, I am serious!
    
    She originally had an autograph of the actor that her nephew gave her to 
    put a copy of in a family newsletter, and she accidently lost it, so she'd 
    like to replace it for him.
    
    FWIW - her nephew is over 10...

	There have been about 5 actors who played Jason.

	In the last 3 or so movies the actors name was Kane Hodder.

	I don't know how to get in touch with him. Maybe by contacting the
	company that produced the movies.

	He does make the rounds at horror conventions and things like
	Spookyworld. I'll post here if I see he will be appearing somewhere.

429.5CJ Graham, Kane Hodder, and others...DECWET::HAYNESFri Jan 14 1994 17:3711
    Lets see.... 
    
    in Part 6, JASON LIVES the actor was C.J. Graham,
    in Part 7, 8 & 9 it was Kane Hodder,
    
    If you want the Jasons from 2,3,4, & 5 I can look them up...
    (I know they are kind of senseless, but I kinda like the movies, enough
    to have them on Video. Course, I also liked the Halloween movies too!)

    	I got the whole set used for $50 a few years ago ... watched them
    	all in a 2-week span.  Great stuff!!
    
    	The "Halloween" set will be next ... but I might skip #3.

429.7#3 ok, but subjectually dumb...DECWET::HAYNESMon Jan 17 1994 15:356
    Well, as far as it goes, I thought it was stupid to include #3 as one
    of THE Halloween movies, but on it's own I didn't think too badly of
    it, once I got over the spitefullness of Michael Myers not being in
    it...

         Can't remmeber the 1st two,but the actor in no 3 was
        Richard Booker.
429.9Jason not in #1DECWET::HAYNESWed Jan 19 1994 23:004
    That's right...(BTW, there was only 1 Jason prior to #3, Jason was only
    mentioned in Part 1.)

429.10BUSY::BUSY::SLABOUNTYTrouble with a capital 'T'Tue Jul 18 1995 21:538
    
    	Actually, Jason dragged that girl into the water in part I, so
    	he did make a brief appearance.
    
    	And I just saw part IX [well, some of it] the other night and I'd
    	forgotten how gross it is watching a coroner take a bite out of a
    	corpse's heart.  8^)
