John Shepherd in Friday the 13th Part V: AI Enhanced

John Shepherd as Tommy Jarvis in Friday the13th Part V.

John Shepherd plays Tommy Jarvis. He "killed" Jason in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, as a child (played by Corey Feldman). Tommy grew up into a traumatized adult. Tommy still regularly dreams of his encounter with Jason.

After years of calm, a series of murders suggest that Jason has returned.

I've actually seen Friday V only once over 30 years ago. Is it worth revisiting? I'm not so sure, but I always remembered Tommy being easy on the eyes. I actually got most of my inspiration from a YouTube video featuring only Tommy's scenes. The video has no audio.

Since Tommy is traumatized, he speaks very little in the movie. Most of his performance is just conveyed through his expressions.
