My Take
Ken Kirzinger gives me a genuine thrill because he came up through stunt work before becoming one of horror's great heavies. Playing Jason Voorhees in Freddy vs. Jason, Pa in Wrong Turn 2, and Rusty Nail in Joy Ride 3, he built a career out of turning his sheer size into pure menace. I have a soft spot for physical performers who become the monster rather than merely playing one; that's a craft of its own. He may never have been a household face, but he's a true workhorse who grips an audience by the throat, and those are exactly the people I'm proud to champion.
