What is Jason Voorhees Height?

If we go by the most consistent height of the character considering the role has been portrayed by multiple actors and stuntmen,  the definitive and most consistent height is attributed to Kane Hodder. He portrayed the character four times, maintaining a linear height throughout his appearances as the titular slasher.

So, how tall was Kane Hodder? Opinions among fans are divided. Some state he was 6'3", while others argue he was 6'2". Based on my knowledge, either height could be accurate. However, in a separate post, I provided evidence suggesting Kane was 6'3" during the time he played Jason, from Part VIII through Part XI.

(Debunking that Kane Hodder was ever Short <- Click here!)


Ari Lehman (Part 1 as Young Jason): Around 5'0" (152 cm) due to being a child.

Warrington Gillette (Part 2): 6'1 (185 cm)

Steve Daskawisz (Part 2): 5'10 (177 cm)

Richard Brooker (Part 3): 6'3" (191 cm)

Ted White (Part 4): 6'4" (193 cm)

C.J. Graham (Part 6): 6'3" (191 cm)

Kane Hodder (Parts 7–10): 6'2" (188 cm) or 6'3" (191 cm)

Ken Kirzinger (Freddy vs. Jason): 6'5" (196 cm) (No Platforms)




Here are the total results for each scenario based on the data from the graphs...

1. Height Chart (With 6'2" Kane Hodder):

Average Height: 6'0"

2. Height Chart (With 6'3" Kane Hodder)

Average Height: 6'1"

How?...here's the math...

Graph Chart Number 1 Math:

Heights in inches: 60, 73, 70, 75, 76, 75, 75, 77

Step 1: 60 + 73 + 70 + 75 + 76 + 75 + 75 + 77 = 581

Step 2: 581 ÷ 8 = 72.625 inches

Step 3: 72.625 ÷ 12 = 6 feet 0.625 inches, or 6'1" 

Graph Chart Number 2 Math:

Heights in inches: 60, 73, 70, 75, 76, 75, 74, 77

Step 1: 60 + 73 + 70 + 75 + 76 + 75 + 74 + 77 = 580

Step 2: 580 ÷ 8 = 72.5 inches

Step 3: Convert to feet 72.5 ÷ 12 = 6 feet 0.5 inches, or 6'0"



(This is FOR ALL THE KNOWN ACTORS AND STUNTMEN In the ORIGINAL TIMELINE.)

All Actors & Stuntmen:

Average Height: 6'1"

The Graph Chart Number:

Heights in inches: 60, 73, 70, 75, 76, 75, 75, 77, 70, 72, 75, 76, 74, 77

Step 1: 60 + 73 + 70 + 75 + 76 + 75 + 75 + 77 + 70 + 72 + 75 + 76 + 74 + 77 = 975

Step 2: 975 ÷ 14 = 69.64 inches

Step 3: 69.64 ÷ 12 = 6 feet 1 inch, or 6'1"


I understand that many fans in the community prefer Jason to be portrayed as a 'giant.' However, consistency and facts don’t lie. This is why I created a separate graph and section to ensure everyone is included and no information is left out.

Derek Mears, who played Jason in the reboot, has no lineage to the original portrayal. His height stands as a singularity at 6'5" for his Jason only.

But for those curious...


Average Height: 6'2"

Math...
Heights in inches: 60, 73, 70, 75, 76, 75, 75, 77, 70, 72, 75, 76, 74, 77, 77

Step 1: 60 + 73 + 70 + 75 + 76 + 75 + 75 + 77 + 70 + 72 + 75 + 76 + 74 + 77 + 77 = 1,102

Step 2: 1,102 ÷ 15 = 73.46 inches

Step 3:  73.46 ÷ 12 = 6 feet 1 inch, or 6'1"

To answer those with questions...

Question 1: Is this Comics?

Answer: No, purely the canonical films in the original timeline.

Question 2: Thumbnail doesn't include Derek Mears?!

Answer: This is for the ORIGINAL Timeline, not a Seperate one!

I always focus on objective facts, not emotions, and not headcanon when discussing my content. I also make it a priority to provide evidence to avoid misinformation or misleading claims.

Consistent Height: 6'2" or 6'3" based on Kane Hodder's portrayal.

Overall Jason Actor Heights Based on Kane Hodder divided height arguments:

• All Jason actors but it's 6'2" Kane: 6'0" avg
  
• All Jason actors but it's 6'3" Kane: 6'1" avg
  

Overall Average Height Across All Portrayals:

• All known Actors/Stuntmen without Derek Mears: 6'1"
  
• All known Actors/Stuntmen including Derek Mears: 6'1"
  

For fans who prefer objective facts, the consistent height range for Jason Voorhees is 6'2"–6'3".

Actor-Specific Heights within the range:

• Richard Brooker: 6'3"
  
• C.J. Graham: 6'3"
  

For fans using objective mathematics across all portrayals, the average height falls between 6'0"–6'1".

For those who prefer to focus solely on the tallest portrayal (though inconsistent with earlier films), Derek Mears stands at 6'5" in the reboot and Ken Kirzinger is the same height without the boots.

Despite what Google or other sources may claim, Jason Voorhees is NOT 6'7"—a claim often repeated but unsupported due to the fact FvJ wore lifts, if we added "lifts" as officially heights it would be dishonest.

I’m always happy to provide new information, give out my opinions when asked, and to go into breakdowns because this community is always seeking answers to questions.

6 ft - 6 ft 3 is the best, it keeps it realistic.

I agree. You did a comprehensive job here. Do you like math or something?
