Leatherface - Andrew Bryniarski

Leatherface was slotted to be played by someone else, but the first actor had to drop. The studio decided to call Andrew Bryniarski to fill the role, which worked out incredibly well. He truly embodies the scary villain! 

Bryniarski is a bodybuilder (no shock there) but is nothing like the villain himself. In fact, he was so against the "idea" of Leatherface that he refused to stay in character between takes. He didn't want anyone to think he had a bad bone in his body!
