What Leatherface From Netflix's Texas Chainsaw Massacre Looks Like In Real Life

Fede Álvarez and Legendary Pictures cast actor Mark Burnham to take up Leatherface's mask (and chainsaw) for the new movie. "When [Burnham] showed up, we definitely felt like, 'This is the guy,'" Álvarez told EW about the casting process. "He had all the physicality we needed from him on camera. He has such an imposing figure."

Burnham is known best for roles in films like 2013's "Wrong Cops," 2017's "Lowlife," and 2021's "Ultrasound." Although he has just under 30 acting credits to his name, per IMDb, Burnham has been in the business since the 1990s, and has appeared on classic TV shows like "3rd Rock from the Sun" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." On his personal Instagram page, the actor shares behind-the-scenes shots from his projects, as well as plenty of candid moments from his life. And of course, he does look quite a bit different without the Leatherface mask on. 

In addition to Mark Burnham as Leatherface, Elsie Fisher as Lila, and Olwen Fouéré as Sally Hardesty, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” also stars Sarah Yarkin, Jacob Latimore, and Moe Dunford. According to Bloody Disgusting, the narrator from the original movie and 2003 remake, John Larroquette, will return to narrate the new film.
