Chop Top Sawyer

"Chop Top" (Real Name: Robert "Bobby" Sawyer) was a member of the cannibalistic Sawyer Family and one of Leatherface's brothers. Born and raised in Texas in the year 1948, Chop Top was the twin brother of Nubbins Sawyer. Chop Top was on his tour of duty in Vietnam at the time of the first film in 1973. It is there where he receives a grisly head injury, owing to a "lucky gook with a machete". The wound was mended with a metal plate that's been grafted into his scalp, leaving him mostly bald, safe for a few scattered strands of long hair. To hide this, Chop Top has taken to wearing wigs. Despite his military service, Chop Top seems to enjoys psychedelic acidic music and dresses in a typical hippie-style attire. Chop Top is a deranged and sadistic individual who gleefully murders people when given the chance. He possesses a "hippie"-like mentality and view on life, stating that "music is his life" and revealing that he is a fan of the bands Iron Butterfly and Humble Pie. Chop Top often remarks about Ho Chi Minh and napalm, as he is a Vietnam veteran, and he also talks about having flashbacks from the war. Chop Top adorns himself in a variety of tattered, multi-color clothing. Just like Nubbins, he has a large "wine stain" birth mark, on the opposite cheek, but unlike him, Chop Top has also noticeably chalkish pale skin tone. Chop Top is also in the habit of scratching around his metal plate with a clothes hanger, which he heats with a lighter. He then eats the dead skin and scabs he has picked off. Both director Tobe Hooper and actor Bill Moseley state that if he scratches in the right spot, Chop Top will instantly "get off".
