The Texas Chainsaw Massacre · Played by R. Lee Ermey
Story spoilers
In the story
Hoyt uses an appearance of official authority to control outsiders. The prequel later explains how Charlie Hewitt comes to use the sheriff’s identity; that explanation belongs specifically to this continuity.
Continuity matters
A remake, not a sequel to the original film’s events. The 2006 film is its prequel; Thomas Hewitt belongs to this continuity rather than being a universal name for every Leatherface.
