It is difficult to imagine how actors put themselves into the shoes of a murderer just so they can properly execute the story their show aims to portray.
In a Netflix interview, Evan Peters says, “It was a challenge to try to have this person who seemingly was so normal, but underneath all of it had this entire world that he was keeping secret from everybody.”
The actor played a horrifyingly convincing role that brought even more viewership to the show. It took a huge leap from being cast as WandaVision’s ‘recast’ Pietro to depicting an entirely different character who is an actual human being. Needless to say, this will most likely be deemed to be his best performance so far. The actor admitted he was scared about the crimes Dahmer did. In fact, Peters had to commit by diving underneath the surface that made Dahmer what he was.
It is quite disheartening to hear that actors would have to have gone through extensive lengths in order for them to do their job right and the story justice. However, his hard work paid off. The actor even gives thanks to the support of the show’s crew that he was able to do this for the show.
