Evan Peters Plays: Last News

Ryan Murphy didn’t need to go far to find the man who will play his monster. Evan Peters, a mainstay on Murphy’s American Horror Story, will portray Jeffrey Dahmer in the Netflix limited-series, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. The series will tell the story through the eyes of his victims, according to Variety, while examining how Dahmer’s “white privilege” and how law enforcement’s incompetence allowed him to go on a killing spree for over a decade. Niecy Nash, who appeared in Murphy’s Scream Queens, will play Glenda Cleveland, the neighbor who alerted the FBI to Dahmer’s suspicious behavior. Penelope Ann Miller and Richard Jenkins will play Dahmer’s mother and father, respectively.
