Bill johnson film and television actor
Bill Johnson (born December 16, 1951) is an American actor, known for his role as Leatherface in the 1986 horror film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
Johnson was born in Austin, Texas in 1951 and resides there with his girlfriend. He is 6'3", and he is a Sagittarius. He often dances and does t'ai chi. He prefers to read poetry, science fiction, and suspense thrillers. Johnson also likes to listen to classical music, opera, guitar, soft folk, and soft rock blues.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Johnson was chosen to play the cannibalistic, chainsaw and sledgehammer wielding, mentally disabled serial killer Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Despite negative reviews from critics due in part to the film relying much more on gore and black comedy than its predecessor, the film has become a cult classic and it gained Johnson notoriety as one of the six actors to have portrayed the character.
Other projects
Johnson also appeared in the Ultima series of role-playing games, as the voice of the Guardian, the final antagonist of the Ultima series. He also likes to act in the local theaters.
