Black Actors Who Survived Scary Movies

Shavar Ross, Friday the 13th: The New Beginning (1985)

During a marathon of watching the Friday the 13th series about a decade ago, I thought to myself, “there’s a little black boy (Ross played Reggie) in part five. He’s a kid; they can’t off him.” Then, I remembered he’s still black and the characters in part three in this series didn’t stick around too long. In fact, a few more were killed in this sequel (SPOILER) including some of Reggie’s family members. But even though this film features a copycat killer right before Jason Lives (1986), at least he was one of the few who made it. And he did a pretty good job at playing the scared child part too.
