Leatherface
A person who wears masks made out of human flesh. Leatherfaces are docile and weak creatures who live with demented relatives in the state of Texas (and sometimes, California).
Leatherface is the primary antagonist in the "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" film series. He is portrayed by several different actors with several different character names, but the original (and therefore real) Leatherface was portrayed by Gunnar Hansen. However, this begs the following question...
Bubba Sawyer in the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, played by Gunnar Hansen in the original, and Bill Johnson in the sequel. However, for all intents and purposes, Gunnar Hansen's portrayal is the definitive rendition, in which all subsequent Leatherfaces aspire to imitate. He was big, dumb butcher with a goddamn chainsaw, and he HATES trespassers.
In the sequel, he's sexually confused, uglier than ever, and he wears a suit. In a particular scene, he is seduced by Stretch's long, sexy legs and humps his chainsaw into an ice bin filled with drinks, but then again, he's only human.
Junior Sawyer in Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, played by R.A. Mihailoff. This particular Leatherface lives with a different family. With the overall bad continuity in the series, one could easily assume that this is not the same Leatherface. This version is violent and hungry for clowns.
Actor R.A. Mihailoff (what kind of name is that?) put up a fight against Victor Crowley, so now, Leatherface is in the early stages of becoming a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength. The first super-villain... from Texas.
Leatherface Slaughter in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, played by Robert Jacks. This version is a whiny-ass bitch. He couldn't even stand up to Renee Zellweger. He cross-dresses more too, so you can tell he's gonna be a total wuss. He doesn't even kill anyone with a chainsaw.
This version is described as part Divine, due to some cross-dressing and acting mannerisms. The cross-dressing trait stems from a scene of outtakes in the original film in which Leatherface puts on makeup.
Thomas Hewitt in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, played by Andrew Bryniarski. This version is an adopted into the family, and afflicted with skin disease.
Time-Warped Bubba Sawyer in Texas Chainsaw 3D, played by Dan Yeager. The character is stuck in a weird alternate timeline that retcons Part 2 out of existence.
How many Leatherfaces are there?
