He set the standards for any subsequent portrayals, so there's no doubt that he's the ultimate Leatherface. It's a shame he only played him once. I was fortunate enough to meet Leatherface in 2012.

2.) Dan Yeager in Texas Chainsaw '13. He wasn't a powerhouse like Bryniarski, and he wasn't overly stupid like Robert Jacks or Bill Johnson. He was a pretty ideal balance.

3.) Andrew Bryniarski in TCM '03 and '06, while he may not have met the classical archetype of the character, he was still pretty fucking scary.

4.) Bill Johnson in TCM 2, who wasn't perfect, but that chainsaw dance is fucking hilarious! They sure played up the retard bit on this one though.

5.) R.A. Mihailoff in TCM 3 was a bit too angry for my taste.

6.) Robert Jacks in TCM 4, whom gave a terrible portrayal of the character. They really turned him into a piece of shit in this movie. However, I love the movie for other reasons. Mostly Matthew McConaughey, and the bland acting of everyone else. Nobody in this movie feels threatened at any time, but rather apathetic as fuck.

On a side note, I made a Leatherface wiki page a long time ago.

Awesome pic and great write up of all the guys who acted as Leatherface.
I tried to find the interview with Gunnar Hansan where he says how he actually the role for TCM and how they would spend 15-17 hrs a day filming in Texas in the 110 degrees weather in the woods.
Never could find the you tube video thou.

I need to rewatch TCM 3D cause I actually spend more time looking at Alexandra Daddario beautiful eyes then watching the movie. I know that sounds stupid as hell but Damn she has some of the most beutifuliest eyes in film.

They talk about the harsh filming conditions in the Family Portrait documentary. Edwin Neal talks about having to lay his face on the hot pavement for hours.

Agreed about Alexandra Daddario. Beautiful eyes, and an amazing rack. Watch True Detective season one to see her topless. Yes!
