Ted White, who played iconic horror villain Jason Voorhees in 'Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter,' has passed away at the age of 96.
Ted White, an actor and stuntman in Hollywood, best known to horror fans as Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home. He was 96 years old.
While originally uncredited for his role in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, White's performance as the hockey mask-wearing, machete-wielding horror icon is the definitive performance of Jason for most horror fans and fans of the Friday the 13th franchise.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Those who worked with and were close to White shared touching tributes about him on social media. Tom Savini, makeup and special effects artist who worked with White on Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, wrote that White was "tough as nails with a heart of gold. Pure class. He will be missed," paired with a picture of them on the set of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter .
Kane Hodder, a fellow Jason Voorhees who donned the mantle in the movies Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, and Jason X, said he was sad to lose his "stunt brother" who was "a true film legend."
