Ken Kirzinger (born November 4, 1959) is a Canadian stuntman and actor best known for his portrayal of Jason Voorhees in Freddy vs. Jason (2003) and of Pa in Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007). He will also star as "Mason" Jason Voorhees character spoof in the upcoming horror film parody, Stan Helsing.

At 6 ft 5½ in (1.97 m) he is the tallest man to have played the Crystal Lake killer. Freddy vs. Jason director Ronny Yu tried to limit Kirzinger's stunts on the film as much as possible. Stuntman Glenn Ennis was called in to perform a series of stunts, including a stunt showing Jason walking through a field killing teenagers while on fire.
Long before Kirzinger took over the role of Jason Voorhees from Kane Hodder, he had ties to Friday the 13th. He appeared in 1989's Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan as a New York cook who gets in Jason's way while pursuing Rennie Wickham (Jensen Daggett) and Sean Robertson (Scott Reeves). Jason, played by Kane Hodder, threw Kirzinger over the counter. In addition to his role as the cook, Kirzinger also served as a stunt coordinator for the film.
According to Kirzinger, the hardest thing he went through for performing as Jason in Freddy vs. Jason (2003), 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. Kirzinger really held his breath, and the chlorine in the water burned his eyes.
He did stunts, and or work in following:

Though Kirzinger maintains a friendly relationship with Kane Hodder, the stuntman he replaced as Jason Voorhees, Hodder has expressed his bitterness at not being asked to reprise the role he's played in four previous Friday the 13th films, with Hodder commenting "I guess they wanted Jason to look like a skinny little bitch this time." because of Ronny Yu's choice of a taller Jason Voorhees.
Ken Kirzinger is a member of Stunts Canada.1
On who he thought won at the end of "Freddy vs. Jason" - Well, ya know, I always say that I did because ya know, there was just more of me left then him. Ya know, I kicked his ass, I mean, right off his body. Uh, all there was, was a head. But uh, I got a feeling that, that's the battle, not the war
His brother Dave Kirzinger played for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League from 1978 to 1986.
