Evan Peters on saying yes to Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
As much as people did not want to watch something so gruesome as what they witnessed in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, they were intrigued by the story and wanted to see it through to the end, which is why the show went viral online when it first appeared on Netflix. The tale served as the basis for a notorious Milwaukee butcher.

At The Hollywood Reporter’s Drama Actors Roundtable, he finally revealed his motivation for accepting the role.
“I definitely, I didn’t wanna play any more bad guys.I was like not doing that anymore. And then, of course, I read the script. And I don’t know, I just, I felt, I didn’t… First of all I didn’t know the story and the case of Jeffrey Dahmer and I think I was just, yeah, I was pretty upset about, just the amount of times that the police department and the justice system failed to stop him, because of racism, homophobia, prejudice. It was just, it was just too much. It was too much. And so, I was really compelled to try to push myself and try to dig into that and see really just give it 120%. And it was gonna be an incredible challenge, but it felt like the message of that piece was worth it to do that.”
Jeffrey Dahmer victim’s mother condemned Evan Peter’s Golden Globe Award
The mother of Dahmer victim Tony Hughes, Shirley, felt that Peters should have said that Hollywood should stop telling and glorifying stories about killers while accepting his Golden Globe win for Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series award.
She also criticized the actor for not mentioning the victims during his acceptance speech, who pointed out that the show simply went ahead to add to their grief as they had to watch their reality all over again. Mother of Tony Hughes said, “It’s a shame that people can take our tragedy and make money. The victims never saw a cent. We go through these emotions every day,”
