 John Carl Buechler (qv) was so impressed with Kane Hodder (qv)  when he ate live worms on the set of _Prison (1988)_ (qv), that he  pushed for Paramount Pictures to let him cast Hodder in the role of  Jason. If it had not been for Buechlers persistence, the role of  Jason Voorhees would have been reprised by C.J. Graham (qv).
