Celebrities 2009

Lola Davidson

Lola Davidson is an up-and-comer on the rise. Most recently you can catch her in Vacancy II that just came out on DVD earlier this year. Lola was thrilled to be apart of that film and the legacy of the original. Previously to that you would recognize her in The Caretaker starring Jennifer Tilly where she was the comic relief until she came to her untimely demise. With Lola’s improv background from Second City she was a natural fit as participant in Fox’s The Search for the Next Elvira. Lola did not win, in Elvira’s parting words she deemed her “too classy.” You can catch her performing sketch comedy regularly live in Hollywood with the Straitjacket Society.

Ari Lehman

Ari Lehman is the actor/singer who has the unique honor of having played the role of the First Jason Voorhees in the Paramount Classic Horror Film “Friday the 13th” (1980). The original “Boy In The Lake” himself. Working with Special Effects Master Tom Savini at an early age gave Ari a deep appreciation for the Horror Greats including Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and Vincent Price.

Ari grew up in Westport, CT, where he was recognized at an early age for his musical abilities and was presented with a scholarship to Berklee School of Music by the famous jazz educator, Dr. Billy Taylor.

Hearing about an audition for “Manny’s Orphan’s”, directed by Sean S. Cunnngham, Ari snuck into the audition and landed the 80-line role of “Roger”, in the film. This role led to the call to play Jason Voorhees in “Friday the 13th” from Sean S. Cunningham himself, who famously asked him “Can you swim?” Ari replied “Yes!” and the rest is Horror History.

Ari returned to New York City and enrolled in NYU studying Big Band Orchestration and Jazz Piano with recognized Masters Jim McNeely and Vladmir Shafranov. Ari’s became a prominent touring Keyboardist for some of the top names in Reggae and African music, amd toured the US, Europe and West Africa for Bob Marley’s own Tuff Gong Records and Interscope Records.

Contacted by Horror fans who eagerly invited him to appear at Horror Conventions, Ari became a regular on the circuit. Seeing this as a great opportunity to join his fame as the original Jason Voorhees and his musical abilities, Ari started FIRSTJASON a band for fans of “Friday the 13th”.

FIRSTJASON has performed in Punk/Metal clubs, Film Festivals, and Horror Conventions throughout the United States. The engaging showmanship and superior musicianship have consistently received enthusiastic response and have developed a strong following.

Ari has also composed, performed and recorded a number of soundtracks for independent films, including Alexia Anastasio’s critically acclaimed all-female “SALOME”, and VAMP FILMS “VAMPIRA THE MOVIE” which received the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award for the Best Independent Film of 2007.
