Biography: Kane Hodder was born in Auburn, California, where he is reported to have been the largest baby ever born there (11 pounds, 9 ounces). Kane Hodder has been doing stunts since 1983; check out the link below for the extensive list of these movies.
He is the only person to have played Jason Voorhees more than once - his 4th and final time was in the recent Jason X. Kane is so devoted to the role of our machete killer that he had the word "KILL!" tattooed to the inside of his lower lip. After a good portion of his body was burned in a stunt mishap, Kane makes sure to devote time working with children in burn centers.
Update: "Kane Hodder spoke with the new horror magazine Wicked about his film Jason X and what his thoughts for Freddy Vs. Jason were. He was asked if shooting under new set conditions made his work any harder or uncomfortable due to the new sets, costumes and special effects, and Hodder replied, 'I'm far more comfortable than I've ever been as far just being hot or constricted. This is the easiest I've had it with that part, just the way the costume is designed. For once, the costumes have been designed with comfort in mind, which helps my performance. [Otherwise] you start getting really worn out by the end of the day. You don't want your performance to suffer because you're energy isn't there.'
Hodder also explains, Right when we roll, I usually just do a little growling stuff. I've always done that since the beginning. People are always surprised at first but then they get used to it. I do it just about every take, especially if there's something violent I'm doing. It just gets the energy to the right level. I think some of the other guys who played Jason before me didn't really take it seriously, didn't really try and add anything to the character. They figured, eh, he's just a zombie that walks around. Anybody can do that. That's not true. I just try to put more into it, there's some breathing things I'm noted for.' Hodder was also asked how he felt Jason X would do and he replied by saying, 'It'll do very well. I do appearances around the country every year and the only question I consistently get is when's the next movie coming out? Because it's been so long, people are really ready for it, even though most people thought it was going to be Freddy vs. Jason, they don't care as long as Jason's coming back. They're very, very excited. I get 50 e-mails a day asking me about it. When I go on the Internet trying to even check my mail, then I'll get 30 instant messages of people who have me on there buddy list. I can't even check my mail. There's really good excitement about it.'" - Thanks to Cinescape.com
At the Fangoria convention in January 2024, he was asked about how he felt about Jason's look in Freddy vs. Jason. Kane replied, 'I guess they wanted Jason to look like a skinny little bitch this time...'
