I'll be doing an in person interview with Kane Hodder at Rock and Shock this October in Worcester. This will be a regular interview on video, not sure on all the details but I am pretty psyched. Post your questions and I'll be happy to ask some.
Kane is best known for playing Jason Voorhees along with Victor Crowley in the Hatchet films.

He is a good man. I had a ten minute or so conversation with him at Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors a few years back. Except for his face and hands, that man is covered in burn scars from his neck down to his wrists.
I don't have any Q's for the man, I asked him plenty and he had great answers, but a question you might want to ask him that would make good radio would be about his role in Leatherface, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3.
He is credited as the stunt supervisor on the film. R.A. Mihailhoff, Leatherface, was not allowed or trusted to carry a running chainsaw because he would have hurt himself. (Kane called him a "big pussy" or something similar). So guess who was the uncredited actor under the mask playing with a giant pimped-out chainsaw?
Another good story you can get out of him was about how huge the explosion in Friday the 13th Part 7 was, and to describe how the concussion force of the blast felt, and the reaction from the other cast members and film makers. He was the pyro-guy, and he overdid it that time!
Kane might be built like a huge rassler covered in more scars than Sabu, Abby, Terry Funk, and Mick Foley combined, and he might feel comfortable being set on fire a few times a year, and running around cemetaries scaring his fellow actors with rubber hatchets (Let's use the REAL hatchet Adam, as Joel David Moore pissed himself - HAH!) but he is the farthest thing from scary.
Very nice guy and extremely fan friendly. You are going to have a blast interviewing him.

Question for Kane Hodder:
What was it like working with VC Dupree during the scene where he was boxing with you in Friday the 13th Part 8?

I've always wondered if directors of horror films tend to lean towards a female lead versus a male one. I've always wondered if it's a tactic to gain the audience's sympathy? I mean, I could care less if Jason hacks up some drunk stoned asshole dressed in levi's and a wife beater, but I'll be damned if I'm not pulling for his hot piece-of-ass girlfriend to get the fuck away...I don't want Jason to fuck up that pretty little face. I'm pulling for the (now single) hot chick to survive, whereas I'm kinda really looking forward to Jason brutally murdering her jackass boyfriend... I mean, the thought of Leatherface carving up that precious Jessica Biel and her beautiful rack into 38 pieces makes me want to really root for her to get the fuck away and those precious tits to survive.
ps. you should give Kane props for having a hand in Charlize Theron's masterful performance in 'Monster'. Greatest chick performace of all time I'm tellin' ya!
