Kane Warren Hodder (born April 8, 1955) is an American actor and stuntman. Standing 6 ft 3½ in (191.8 cm), he is best known for his portrayal of Jason Voorhees in four films from the Friday the 13th film series (parts VII through X).
Hodder is the only actor to portray Jason more than once, in a total of four movies. He has also portrayed horror icons Leatherface in the stunts of the 1990 film Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, and a glove hinted to be Freddy Krueger's pulling Jason's mask to hell in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.
Although he offered to reprise his role as Jason Voorhees in the 2003 film Freddy vs. Jason, director Ronny Yu replaced Hodder with 6'5½" Canadian stunt man Ken Kirzinger. The switch created controversy amongst fans of the series and has been credited to several rumours, including Kirzinger's location in Canada, and his height compared to Robert Englund, Freddy Krueger's portrayer (although Hodder is still taller than Englund).
