He is also the only actor to portray Jason more than once, in a total of 4 movies.Although he was offered to reprise the part of Jason Voorhees in the 2003 film Freddy vs. Jason, he was rejected by director Ronny Yu and replaced by 6'5 1/2" Canadian stunt man Ken Kirzinger. The switch 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).
In the mid 1980's, Kane was performing a stunt that went awry, leaving him with 2nd degree burns on over 75% of his body. As such, Kane often wears gloves at horror conventions. He has the word "Kill!" tattooed on the back of his bottom lip.He is an avid poker player and often plays celebrity tournaments on hollywoodpoker.com.He spends time working with children in burn centers, and despite the roles he often plays, Hodder has often been described as a very friendly man, and loves to meet his fans.Hodder is to star in the slasher flick Hatchet as main character Victor Crowley, a physically deformed young boy who comes back from the dead to kill the people who invade the swamp in which he lives. This is similar to Jason Voorhees, who died as a young boy in a lake and came back from the dead to kill people who came to Camp Crystal Lake.
