Johnson, having not seen the original film before, viewed the film the day before he auditioned for the role. Johnson recalled being impressed by the film, [87] [88] calling it 'eerie, very deeply disturbing, unsettling, and unnerving, but also inspiring'. Johnson felt free to put his own spin on the character, opting to "stay out of Gunnar's shoes" while making the character his own. [88] Knowing the physical demands required for the role, Johnson strove to do the best acting job he could for the character, taking inspiration from the dedication of the film's cast and crew. [88] Johnson remained in character throughout production, spending much of his time in his trailer preparing each scene that he was in. [70] Stuntman Bob Elmore was hired, [89] alongside Tom Morga as Johnson's stunt doubles. [90] Elmore performed many of the physical scenes for the character including the chainsaw battle with Dennis Hopper, [91] and the overall stunt portion of the infamous "chainsaw love" scene. [92] Morga only performed part of the stunts required for the opening bridge scene. [90] Filming was particularly grueling for Johnson, Elmore, and the rest of the cast and crew, as they had to deal with extreme temperatures while in a heavily insulated costume that only exposed the eyes and mouth. [93] Elmore later recounted the entire experience as being incredibly taxing, both physically and mentally, with Elmore having repeated clashes with the film's stunt coordinator Jim "Jimmy" Stephan, who regularly berated and verbally abused Elmore and the other stunt performers. [94] Elmore also sustained a broken wrist while performing in the opening scene. [92] In spite of the hardships during production, the rest of the cast spoke highly of Johnson, commending his dedication towards the role and his ability to imbue the character with emotional depth beyond just portraying him as just a man in a mask. [95] [87] Elmore also received praise, which one actor noted "[had] brought this incredible viciousness" into the role. [89] Creating an authentic Leatherface costume and character portrayal is not only about the basics; it's also about the finer details that make your transformation truly spine-tingling.

A continuation of the Hansen iteration of Leatherface appeared in Texas Chainsaw 3D, a 2013 follow-up to the original that ignored the events of the previous sequels. When developing Texas Chainsaw 3D, co-writers Adam Marcus, and Debra Sullivan felt that there was no real mythology for the character and wanted to create their own mythology for the character. As Marcus stated in an interview: "there was no real mythology for Leatherface, and we wanted to create a mythology. With Leatherface, there was a really broken psychology there, like Frankenstein's monster. For Debra and me, we wanted to tell the story of Leatherface's imprisonment and his reverence for family." [158] [214] For Luessenhop, Leatherface represented not only a source of fear, but also one of pity: "Underneath that mask, there's a very damaged, very abused kid whose mental state never evolved". [215] Describing the character's personality, Yeager referred to the character as someone trained most his life to serve a specific function within his family, as that of the killer. Yeager went on to describe Leatherface as having no self-determination, and someone who was afraid of the world outside of his family who "did his thinking for him". [122] [216] After the events at the beginning of the film, Leatherface spends the next twenty years 'fending for himself', with his true individual personality finally "beginning to emerge" from beneath the mask, developing his own identity beyond just wearing someone else's face. [120] Yeager admitted that Leatherface had some characteristics that never changed: "He's very childlike still. He plays with stuff like a kid does. His life experience is a bit limited."

One of the defining characteristics of Leatherface, depicted throughout the entirety of the series, has been his face mask(s). [228] As with the character's real-life inspiration, Ed Gein, Leatherface wears masks made from the faces of his victims. [53] [54] In the original film, Leatherface dons three different masks during certain parts of the film, each representing a different personality at a given point of time, as the character was never intended to have any personality beneath those masks. As Hansen explained, each mask the character wore determined the kind of personality he wanted to emulate, [77] [100] with each of the masks seen in the film representing something important to Leatherface: "He uses the masks to express the context he is in and how he will behave–his state of mind." [136] :54 Elaborating upon this, Hansen has stated that each mask was a way for Leatherface to take on a personality or identity he was incapable of expressing on his own, that if one were to remove his mask he was essentially devoid of any identity or personality. [136] :56 [229] Co-creator Kim Henkel agreed with this assessment, stating that Leatherface "is who he wears", assuming the personality of each of his individual masks. [54] Tobe Hooper felt that the character's alternating personalities while wearing various masks was comparable to Greek tragedy, as to him, wearing a mask was a form of expressing himself in a way he was incapable of doing on his own. [68] The three masks seen in the original film were intended to represent a different personality and identity for the character.
