C.J. Graham is an actor who became one of many actors/stuntmen to play Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th film series. A 6'3" former night club owner, he was spotted as a potential Jason Voorhees for the [[Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives]] when he was playing Jason in a night club act, impressing the casting people who were in search of a new Jason since the original stunt man being used was not coming across with the necessary power or presence. Although not credited, Graham even performed all of the character's stunts. He reprised this role in the video for Alice Cooper's video for "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)", which was written for and featured in the film. As of 2005, Graham has only played one other role -- he appeared in the horror film Highway to Hell as the main antagonist, a heavily made-up, silent monster called the Hell Cop. He is known to have returned to his former career, but has been known to speak highly of his time as Jason, even claiming that he would reprise the role in another film if asked.
