Biography

Kane Warren Hodder was born April 8th, 1955 in Auburn, California and is rumored to have been the largest child ever born to that city. Quite fitting for the man who would become Jason Voorhees later in life.

His career started as a stuntman on the Chuck Norris and late David Carradine film, Lone Wolf McQuade in which he also had a small part in. Throughout the years, he has progressed to a more skillful actor and has become Stunt Coordinator on such films as Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects and Academy Award winner Monster with Charlize Theron.

Most horror fans know Kane as one of the few to play Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th films more than once (Parts 7 - 10). In recent years he has played a variety of characters, with and without make-up. Most notably of late is the character of Victor Crowley in Adam Green's Hatchet and what many consider a break through performance as Dennis Rader in the film B.T.K..

Kane is also involved in many charities (which will be linked here in the near future) which have to deal with children and burn victims. Kane having been very badly burned during a stunt in the 1980's knows full well the help, courage and support they deeply need.

He has also been a long time supporter of ghost hunting. Kane has co-founded Hollywood Ghost Hunters with fellow stuntman and stunt coordinator Rick McCallum. Memebers include R.A. Mihailoff and Adam Green as well. Please check out the official site here.
