From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ted White (January 25, 1926 - October 14, 2022) was an American stuntman and actor who was best known for playing Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. He was also notable for having doubled for John Wayne, Fess Parker, Clark Gable, and Richard Boone.
White is considered by many to be the best actor to ever portray the character of Jason Voorhees alongside Kane Hodder who played the character in later installments of the franchise.
