Bob Elmore, a stuntman who’s best known for playing Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, has passed away.
“Just to be recognized for working in this little, itty bitty movie that brought pleasure to so many people — and there’s some people that really, really, really enjoyed it,” Elmore said of his role in a 2016 interview.
“I don’t understand. I don’t have that passion for that kind of movie, but there’s a lot. And it’s worldwide, it’s not here in the United States. People in Germany love Texas Chainsaw Part 2. They just love it, and they’re crazy about it. That’s what is so unique about it, and to be associated with that is great. Not too many people can say that.”
He also performed stunts in the horror cult classics The Monster Squad and Dr. Giggles.
Elmore’s first gig was at Knott’s Berry Farm as part of the amusement park’s Wild West Stunt Show. He then studied under Gene LeBell at Los Angeles City College, starting his path to the film industry.
He went on to work on the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Casino, The Usual Suspects, Being John Malkovich, City of Angels, Uncle Buck, and Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment.
