Jim Hudson (Get Out)

"Who knows? Some people wanna change, some people want to be stronger... faster... cooler. But don't... please don't lock me into that. I don't a give a shit of what color you are, you know. What I want is... deeper. I want.... your eye, man. I want those things you see through."

- Jim Hudson revealing his true intentions to Chris.

Jim Hudson is a supporting antagonist of the 2017 horror movie Get Out. He is a blind art gallery owner who is a member of the Order of the Coagula allied with the Armitage Family.

He was portrayed by Stephen Root.

Role
Despite being a member of the Order, Jim holds a certain distaste towards the other members for their racist motivations of capturing black people and using them as vessels to achieve psuedo-immortality. When Rose Armitage brought her boyfriend Chris Washington to her family's estate for visit, the other members took delight of seeing another black person in their grounds. However, unlike the other party-goers, Jim takes a genuine interest towards Chris for his excellent photography and compliments him for it.

Later on, Dean Armitage is hosting up a silent auction with a picture of Chris on display, and Jim places the winning bid. Following the capture of Chris (who is strapped to a chair in basement), Jim communicates to him through a TV set and calmly explains the Order's true intentions through the Armitage family's methods of luring black people (even Rose was involved with it all the time). Jim also revealed that he intends to take control of Chris' body in order to regain eyesight, but not before he assures to Chris that it's nothing personal as he has nothing against black people.

As Dean performs autopsy on a unconscious Jim, he notice that his son Jeremy is missing and looks for him, only to find out that Chris has escaped. At that moment, Chris managed to stab Dean with the antlers of a hunting trophy. Suffocating on his own blood, Dean stumbles back into the operating room and knocks over a candle, before falling over and succumbing to his wounds. The candle ignites the sheets of Chris' intended surgery chair, the fire of which growing and (presumably) burning an unconscious Jim alive.
