Monsters actor Nicholas Alexander Chavez has opened up about playing Lyle Menendez using his own hair and wearing a wig to shoot emotional scenes
Nicholas Alexander Chavez took his role as Lyle Menendez in Netflix's Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story extremely seriously, and that included portraying several emotional scenes involving wigs and toupees.
'I really saw this wig as mask of sorts,' Chavez told Deadline in an interview published on Friday, September 27. 'It’s not one that he imposes on himself. It’s imposed by his father and the perfectionist standard that Lyle has to live up to.' 'When you’re working on a project about the Menéndez brothers, especially living in Los Angeles where they lived, you meet a great many people who are one degree or two degrees of separation away from others who directly interfaced with them,' Chavez told the outlet.
'And when you wear a piece, there is certain behavior that goes along with that,' Chavez said. 'You sort of angle your head in a very, very specific way, maybe even subconsciously, to try to keep distance between it and the person that you’re talking to.'
