Jesse (Friday the 13th)

Jesse is a fictional child and a minor character featured in the Friday the 13th film series. He made a single appearance in the 1981 film sequel, Friday the 13th Part 2. The performer who played Jesse is uncredited and unknown, but is notable for being the very first character in the film and the first character with speaking lines. The character is only visible from the legs down and it is not entirely clear whether Jesse is supposed to be a boy or a girl.

Jesse lived somewhere in southern New Jersey, not very far from Camp Crystal Lake. One night after a rainstorm in August of 1979, Jesse was walking home singing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" while splashing through rain puddles. Jesse's mother caught note of him and told him to come into the house right away. Jesse whined "Oh, mom", but presumably obeyed her instruction. Moments later, Jason Voorhees strode across the same street that Jesse had been walking.
