	Movies - Sheriff Hoyt

Sheriff Hoyt was a character from the 2003 remake of the 1974 classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
and its prequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
. He is portrayed by R. Lee Ermey.

Sheriff Hoyt is a small town sheriff who is in fact Leatherface's older brother. He lures teenagers off the road where they meet up with Leatherface and his family and are killed and eaten.

A gruff, mean-spirited bully, Hoyt not only makes no effort to conceal his contempt for everyone around him, he seems to revel in it. For example, when he is called to investigate the suicide of a young girl the movie's teenaged protagonists picked up, he leers at the corpse and cracks jokes about his predilection for "copping a feel" on dead female bodies.

He arrests the teens under the pretense that he believes them to be guilty of their friends' deaths, and brings them to his family home to be butchered by Leatherface. The last survivor, Erin (played by Jessica Biel), proves herself to be tougher and more resourceful than he had expected, however.

At the movie's climax, Erin runs him over and kills him as she flees the town.
