C.J. Graham is an iconic figure in horror cinema, best known for his imposing portrayal of Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986). Standing at 6’3″, the Seattle-born actor and U.S. Army veteran (1974–1978) was discovered while performing as Jason in a Los Angeles nightclub act.

Graham reprised the role in Alice Cooper’s promotional video “He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask),” tying into the film’s theme.

Graham’s horror resume extends to the cult comedy-horror Highway to Hell (1992), where he played the silent, monstrous Hell Cop, a demonic enforcer terrorizing a hellish highway. A fan favorite, he later appeared as Elias Voorhees in the fan film Friday the 13th Vengeance 2: Bloodlines (2022).
