Detective Lieutenant Mark Hoffman is a
fictional character from the
Saw franchise. He is portrayed by Australian actor
Costas Mandylor. While the character was first shown as a police officer in
Saw III, later films in the series have expanded his role and revealed him to be an apprentice, and subsequently the successor of the
Jigsaw Killer. Like his mentor and partner, he designs death traps that, for survivors, give them reason to appreciate their lives. On the other hand, he has no emotion towards his victims, and in general, brandishes a very monotone personality.
