Okay. I'm on record saying that I feel an actor who played Jason Voorhees, in Friday the 13th part 6, named C.J. Graham would make an excellent Michael Myers, because his interpretation of Jason, to me, seems most like Michael Myers. Body language and all.

By the way, over in the "Who Should Play Michael" thread, a number of people have said that Halloween 6 was very scary, a film wherein Michael Myers was most overtly played to be like Jason Voorhees.

Anyway.

I'm watching a documentary on Friday the 13th part 6 right now, and the director is discussing the casting of C.J. Graham as Jason, and he expresses the opinion that he felt that C.J. was right for the role because he had a very Terminator-like quality to him. C.J. Graham as Jason Voorhees was, in the opinion of the director, very much like the Terminator.

So, given that the interpretation of Jason most like Michael Myers was played by an actor who played tyhe character like Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator, and was directed by a man who saw many simialrities between Jason and the Terminator - both engines of destruction - and the film wherein Jason is most like his ideological father, Michael Myers, is this same part 6, does it occur to any board participant that freshness and innovation to the role of Michael Myers might be brought by looking at the strengths of the Terminator(s), identifying what made the homicidal cyborgs scary, and bringing those atributes to Michael?

What are your thoughts?

I think Don Shanks would put Graham to shame in a matter of seconds.

I don't know. I don't like the fact of an actor who played Jason playing Michael and vice versa.

I agree! You should only play one horror icon.

It's happened though. Tom Morga played Jason in Friday 5, and some of the Michael bits in H4.

I did not know that. Oh well that doesn't count cause Jason in part 5 was just Tommy's hallucinations.

He was playing a lot of the "Roy as Jason" part as well.

So it does count. :p

Dick Warlock was also a stuntman in it. :)

Yeah, I noticed Graham's performance was much like that of Michael's moves in F13-6. I know that Kane Hodder would want the part even more badly than Graham if a previous "Jason" were to play a future "Michael," but I too think Graham would make a cool Myers...even though I must agree that I am not a big fan of someone playing more than one big horror icon but I'd get over it.
