Career [ edit ]. Role as Jason Voorhees [ edit ]. Had to undergo some dental work during the filming of Freddy vs. Jason , but it would have taken too much time to remove his makeup and costume and reapply them. When he arrived at the dentist's office still dressed as Jason without the hockey mask , people were afraid he was an escaped psychopath and almost called the police.

According to Kirzinger, the hardest thing he went through for performing as Jason in Freddy vs. Jason , was sinking into the lake. They shot the scene in a tank which was highly chlorinated and had debris to make it look like lake water. Director Ronny Yu wanted the close-up of Ken's eye and wanted him to sink into the water keeping his eye open.

Then also he can't breathe because it would be visible on film. He was lying on top of the water and had to let himself sink down to the bottom of the tank without breathing keeping his eye open. I've done a lot of that in the past. I think all that past experience sort of helped me get this. I started out as a stuntman and then they started handing me lines playing a thug.

Eventually I did get an agent and started doing just some acting. He was raised along with his brother, Dave Krizinger who is a former football player. However, his performance in Freddy vs. Jason was the one that helped him gain public attention. Ken Kirzinger, 57, is possibly single at the moment. He previously dated actress Karen Campbell.
