Don’t you hate it when horror villains turn out to be villains in real life? That appears to be the case with Andrew Bryniarski, best known for playing Leatherface in 2003’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre, who is in hot water again. TMZ is reporting that the actor has found himself in court over another assault case.
Bryniarski’s brutality as Leatherface appears to be part of the actor in real life. Reportedly, the six-foot-five actor and former bodybuilder has a habit of taking out his rage on others.
Recently, the Leatherface actor received a stay-away order from a judge after attacking his roommate, Lance Berg, multiple times. Berg has stated that once, Bryniaski assaulted him during an argument over food. He pushed Berg so hard that he fell and injured his wrist. Berg also reports the actor once slapped him so hard he went blind in one eye; thankfully, it was only temporary, but still a terrifying experience.
Berg isn’t the first victim. Bryniarski’s previous roommate, Marcus Silver, was reportedly attacked back in 2019. Silver claims Bryniarski sucker-punched him and sent him threatening messages. He, too, got a restraining order.
There’s a clear pattern of violence. Odds are they probably aren’t the only ones on the receiving end of Bryiarski’s temper. Hopefully, the judge will order anger management classes before it’s too late and Bryniarski really hurts someone.
In addition to Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Andrew Bryniarski starred in Street Fighter, Hudson Hawk, and the series “Burn Notice.” He’s also appeared in multiple Ice Nine Kills videos.
