Tim Mirkovich played "Young Jason" in the 1989 horror film Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. In the film, his character tormented the final girl, Rennie, portrayed by Jensen Daggett. Tim underwent extensive prosthetic work, with some applications taking up to 6 hours, and spent hours in the water for his scenes. He feels both lucky and blessed to be part of a franchise with fewer than a dozen actors who have portrayed the iconic Jason Voorhees. The Friday the 13th franchise has become a cultural icon in the horror genre over the decades.
