Kevin Peter Hall Replaced Jean-Claude Van Damme in ‘Predator’
‘Predator’ was a thriller sci-fi film about an alien hunter targeting a team of soldiers in Central America. Martial arts actor Jean-Claude Van Damme was going to be the man inside the Predator suit, but the role went to Kevin Peter Hall instead. Although the studio never gave an official reason for the cast change, Van Damme said in an interview that he was fired because he refused to do a stunt that nearly broke his leg and that he considered too dangerous.
