Steve Daskewisz, also known as Steve Dash or Steve Daskawisz, is an actor known for his role as a stunt double supporting the fictional serial killer Jason Voorhees in the film Friday the 13th Part 2. A former cop who worked as a stuntman and actor beginning in 1977, he had small roles in Wolfen and The Jazz Singer. That led to work on Sylvester Stallone's Nighthawks where he met Cliff Cudney. Cudney hired him to replace Warrington Gillette who was originally scheduled to play Jason in Friday the 13th Part 2.[2][3][4]
