Making DAHMER: A conversation with the cast and Ryan Murphy | Netflix
/ @netflix
Across more than a decade, 17 teen boys and young men were murdered by convicted killer Jeffrey Dahmer. How did he evade arrest for so long?
Evan Peters literally deserves every award possible for his role of dahmer tbh
real for that
YESSS!
No, with all due respect to him as an actor, we dont need people like dahmer to have more attention than they already have in the media.
@@tcrijwanachoudhury this so true too but i also feel he needs credit going thru that but ig it was his choice. thanks for commenting that tho ur so right
I do to but I don't think he will win an award from this project, it'll be too controversial. All the bad talking about Murphy on Twitter shows how people are going to react if more attention is brought to Dahmer. I just wish Evan the best because he's a hard worker and a talented actor.
The fact they lose themselves in their roles show how crazy acting actually is. When he said he barely remembered a scene.. insane
I think he doesn't remember because since they stopped filming and he could be himself again he's tried distancing himself from the role as much as he can (because of how heavy it was). I guess that might include suppressing some of the memories of filming it. And I think it's probably for the best. I want him to be happy and I think he should definitely do a comedy next time.
Yeah absolutely mad I agree with you I'm an actor myself so after the show when I first came on I was literally just sucked into the storytelling and the the role itself and actually when the show ended I actually stopped watching it after I was finished with it I literally just started acting and doing like this mannerisms cuz I'm an actor myself so I actually kind of manifest whatever his character was and made it my own and did other like imaginary characters to to make the character real and authentic but yeah it's it's crazy that when people lose themselves and I know from experience the rose good or the right is great or the characters good and your motivated by it then it's it's awesome
The intro music is so telling, my puppies started to whimper. 😢
That really shows how much he got into his character, when you become someone else on stage or on camera you lose yourself entirely, so I feel like that's what happened. Like when I acted on stage I became my character so hard that I left the stage and couldn't remember anything.
@@phillipalvarado1994 Punctuation is your friend.
I hope Evan Peters & Niecy Nash will receive an Emmy nomination for their performance in Dahmer.
They deserve to win
Richard Jenkins also.
Best comment
I hope so too all them deserve it
Same I agree
It's disturbing to see Evan so quiet and with so much sadness in his eyes, it also hurts cause he has such a bubbly and happy personality. The fact that he doesn't remember filming most of the scenes, the way he stayed in that dark place until the very end, really speaks of his commitment to his work but I hope he can get out of it fully. It will probably always be with him but, just like his mind tried to keep him safe during the making off the show by pushing down those moments, I hope he's able to get out of it safely. Love how all the women kept trying to make him at least smile and how he told Niecy that he loved her, like, 'that wasn't me, this is me and I really like you cause you ARE a really likable lady'
The show was eerie and very uncomfortable to watch yet I couldn’t look away. Peters deserves an Emmy for his chilling unsettling performance. He embodied Dahmer in a way I never thought possible
Same 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Y hinestamente no solo el Emmy otros premios,lo hizo increible hasta sus compañeras lo dijeron de su acento que hizo en dahmer u él dijo que tambien trabajo en la voz
If he does not win any awards I will be mad as hell 😡😡
Dahmer and all of the cast really shined through that was so rough to watch but beautiful at the same time seeing glenda being playef by this beautiful actress
Yes I really hope he wins a lot of awards!
Words literally cannot express how much Evan Peters killed his role as Jeffrey Dahmer.
“Killed” lol
@@EyesOfErica shut up bro omg
@@EyesOfErica I see what I did there. No pun intended tho. lol
oh my god.
Awe 34:00
evan was having an extremely hard time in this interview and i hope he’s surrounded by nothing but love and light after playing a role like
He isn't comfortable with these promotional interviews I guess.
@@ns1208 i mean it’s also just such a scary topic
@@ns1208 He's also said in interviews that he hates playing super dark roles because of the mental state they take him to. He had to quit AHS for a few seasons because it got too much playing awful people all the time
@@edenlowe5216 then he shouldnt audition for them loollllll
@@pink994 😑
Evan Peters is so gifted. I've loved his acting since AHS1. He is mesmerizing!
Evan Peters and Jenna Ortega are this years MVPs in acting. He was incredible as Jeffrey Dahmer and she was incredible as Wednesday Addams.
@@anthonycampos8057 Totally agree!!
Real fans know him from the first season of Phil of the Future
@@ultraviolettasa clockwork orange
@@ultraviolettas "real fans" I didn't realize appreciating someone's talent was a competition but good for you. I'm sure he was great in that too (:
everyone talking about Evan like can we take a moment to appreciate Niecy Nash? I looove her and her performance was great. The heart of the series, in my opinion.
This comment ❤
Nooo she did my head in
Yes please let talk about Niecy Nash I love her as well she did a phenomenal job in this series an Emmy is on the way
Yesss she was like the first person observer, the moral compass, and the contrast to evans character. The advocate for victims
They're talking more about Evan because he had the main role and everyone wanted to see how he portrayed that serial killer.
I don’t think Evan will ever be able to fully let go of everything he had to do for this role. I think it will be with him forever and you can still see in his eyes that it hasn’t left him completely. A role like this sticks with you and the power behind it can’t just be forgotten.
i feel so bad for him...i really hope he recovers from this well
yes - compared to his past projects - and interviews he is so much more lively - he looks so pale and lacking light and energy... Such a talent - hope he comes back soon!
@@garland611 I think he can recover but never forget for sure. Its like trauma you can learn to process it but it still is always with you
Wtf y’all talking about that’s how he always looks like🤣🤣
Not trauma i-
The way everyone on the cast is so worried and taking care of Evan is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time :/ Watching him since AHS1, never saw him like that outside a role. It looks like this took something from him that he wasn't able to recover yet.
Specially penelope.She is calling Evan honey,touching his shoulder & smiling at him.Very motherly. So sweet!
Yeah,I agree 100%. He looks different… I hope he’s ok!
The fact that he took time off after doing AHS:Cult because that season took a toll on him and I could see why his character in that season was very dark much darker than the other characters from past seasons. I think that's why when I heard he was playing Jeffrey Dahmer I thought the same thing was going to happen where he was just going to have to take a break from acting again so it's nice to see that he had the support of the cast helping him. I honestly hope he takes a break from doing dark roles for a bit maybe he should go back to doing more comedic roles or just lighter roles. He's a wonderful actor and he clearly puts everything he has into his roles but obviously that takes a toll. I would like to see him continue to grow as an actor into his old age.
I said the same but then he did an interview 5 months after this and was back to his goofy self. Def took him awhile to get out of the role
@@dimension_5th Yees! Saw him briefly with Niecy Nash on the golden globes and he was goofy Evan again ❤️ Glad he's doing better! Btw the cast support probably played a part in it
evan and niecy deserve all the emmys for this show, and ofc, evan literally gave a lifetime performance for dahmer: he deserves the world and more, i'm really glad that he's resting and taking care of his heath
*Whale Noises*
Richard Jenkins also deserves an Emmy Nomination.
The dad also did an amazing job
@@moviescenes6838 for sure! richard was the perfect person for the role of his dad, i think it's such a well-rounded cast!
I can’t unsee Jeff- it’s like he put his life Into the show
We all know how well Evan played Jeffrey. But can we talk about Lionel ! He absolutely killed this role
Penelope Miller did an amazing job also.
He was brilliant! I can't believe there isn't more focus on his performance in discussions about the show. Something about his delivery makes him sound like a real person!!!! It's nuts to me
Yes. His performance was probably my favorite after Evan’s. I really hope he gets an Emmy as a supporting actor. He was phenomenal.
I was blown away by his acting and need to see more. I like what he said about the character being so three dimensional because that is absolutely true. I was mesmerized by how human he was.
True. I cried so hard every time Lionel cried in the show 😭😭😭😭
I agree 100% with Penelope Ann Miller when she says that Evan is on the same level as actors like Al Pacino, Marlon Brando and Robert DeNiro. What Evan has done in this series is absolutely extraordinary. The whole show is brilliant. I really hope it wins a lot of awards, especially Evan.
Especially the Oscar worthy scene when he's with his dad and shari at the diner. Where he laughed and cried at the same time when Ohio state came up.
And your absolutely right. I just wished they contacted the victims families before even considering to make it.
@@brazzy_jasmine8376 According to Ryan, in an interview I read, they contacted them, but all the family members refused to talk to him or collaborate with the show. Which I totally understand.
@@brazzy_jasmine8376 i agree but also every true crime -> did they get everyone’s permission every time? And also all the shows that base off of true crime like law and order, i dont think they get permission from everyone involved every single time
Similar with war movies like ww2, they dont contact everyones family of people who died in ww2 but they still make the show to teach us what to look out for and mistakes that were made so in the future stuff like this is stopped earlier
I just hope that Evan can read all the comments of the people on social media platforms about his performance on Dahmer. This guy really deserves an award! But still humble and looks timid throughout the conversation. Evan, we just want to remind you that your talent is superb and unbelievable. We love you!
Did you notice at 2:12 when Ryan said "I wish Evan would do this" Evan got embarassed..so cute!
@@ns1208 he didn’t get embarrassed
Richard as Lionel, he did a wonderful acting. That's scene if him aknowledging the mistakes his ex-wife did in Jeffrey's childhood to Shari made me tear up, the feelings he was projecting alonside the body language felt as if he was literally gong through real pain. To know he has children made me think how hard was to play the role of the father of a serial cannibalistic murderer. Overall, the cast did really, but really well. Amazing acting
I watch any movie he is in. He is amazing
Evan Peters is a completely different person in real life. He's so calm and almost shy.
Dou you know him before this guy is shy here but i think is because needs to being relax ,the guy is not shy he is so hilarious ,you can see him on interviews where fans make him questions and he is so humble with them
He might be more shy in real life but in given setting I think he’s just being calm and respectful. This project was obviously a huge responsibility and I think he’s handling questions accordingly. In other fan interviews he’s always very goofy and hilarious.
He's not that shy, he's very funny
so was Jeff lol😂
@@LilyIglesias I mean, being shy doesn’t equal not being funny.
Omg omg finally a proper cast interview..... A round of applause for Evan peters.... What an incredible actor, will be looking forward to your future projects
I agree. But I do think that the entire cast deserves a round of applause as well. Every single one of them knocked it out of the park!! Bravo!!!
Shout out to the actors who played the victims as well! I couldn’t imagine having to put myself in those shoes 🥺
Rodney Burford Jr. as Tony was so amazing! There's a comment that was recently posted under this video that is really interesting. It's a transcript of an interview with Rodney and the other deaf actors.
@@Sakura77488 yess i agree! I had to take a break from watching after that episode.
The real victims' families never wanted this documentary to be made
@@sadem1045 I think that was because it made them relive it. Also because of social media they get to see first hand the amount of people who don’t care about the victims, romanticize Dahmer, dress up like him for Halloween etc. It’s scary and heartbreaking.
Yes, I really appreciate kieran tamondong’s acting as Konerak.
Nicey Nash definitely does not just fit in one lane, she showed so much talent in this film. I am amazed by her work and how she dove into the role. I loved seeing her take on a different role than what she usually does.
Look, we don't even need to have seen his past works but if Evan Peters doesn't get the profession's recognition for this? You know it's rigged. He was by far the best performance of 2022.
Exactly because everybody is saying of his brilliant job,but i have read than Evan Richard and Niecy are a big conttenders
True and Austin Butler too
Evans acting was incredible. It’s sad that it’s getting overlooked by a lot of people simply because the story itself is hard to watch for some people. That man deserves an award.
👏👏👏👏👏
the acting is great, but this show is simply wrong. the victims families had no say in if they were okay with this.
I Love Evans , I've always loved him but this show is disgusting.
@@funkunko snowflake
@@funkunko Ths... so civil of u . Still ...u did watched it? Haven´t u mate? 😏
My ABSOLUTE favourite scene that I watch over and over again is the little diner scene with Jeff, Shari and Lionel where Jeff tries to tell that something's wrong with him and Lionel wants to put that aside and you see Jeff literally swallowing his thoughts and gives that painful smile to his dad. Ugh
Yeah they should have let him speak.
@@meandi5956 I feel like he isn't Comfortable talking abt the role..He doesn't even remember the time of filming the scenes.
Yeah! I'm glad to find someone else who still remembers this scene. I couldn't stop thinking about it when I finished watching the show. For me, this scene is the key! If the real Dahmer had been able to share his thoughts and sexual orientation openly and freely in his teens, and someone had taken him seriously, 17 souls could have been probably saved. It's probably naive to think like that, but as Richard Lee quotes ·"If you save one soul, your work has been done" In this case, no work was done in advance and That's the (only) saddest part for Jeff Dahmer.
@@Aneda-xl8wj yesssssssssss that part stuck with me, he was trying to tell his father that something was wrong with him.
@@Aneda-xl8wj you took the words right from my mind 😂 after that scene I kept on wondering how things would've turned if his father really listened to what he wanted to confess and it stuck with me to the end of the serial. And I was soooo mad that he didn't wanted to let that brain to be discovered 😑
it’s really sad how Evan doesn’t remember most of the scenes being recorded, he probably disassociated most of it because of the traumatic feelings attached to it
Evan was an incredible actor in this. I imagine it was difficult for him having to play someone like Jeffery Dahmer. Edit: I know Evan has always been a great actor I was just pointing out his work in this show
Right I would imagine he had to watch a lot of Dahmer’s interviews to perfect his mannerisms and tone of voice
IKR!!
I love true crime.
He's used to lmao
He is dahmer
i love how when Niecy is saying her grandmothers quote and Evan is mouthing the quote with her. you can tell that’s something that really helped him that day and a quote he probably won’t ever forget!
Richard Jenkins is such an underrated actor when it comes to playing fathers.
As a highly discerning film lover, I LOVED his work in ‘North Country’ w Sissy Spacek, Charlize Theron, Jeremy Renner, Francis McDormand, etc. PHENOMENAL work! Love & Light from Miami Shores🦚 Stay safe mate🌎✌🏼 Peace & Prayers for the people of Ukraine🇺🇦
I recommend Six Feet Under, another dad character
Yeah, I really liked him in Step Brothers
“You speak your truth even if your voice shakes” iconic quote ❤️
Evan took permanent mental damage to give us this performance. He deserves more than any award. Lifetime free mental support for starters
As someone that’s watched countless serial killer documentaries, listens to true crime every day, this series was so heavy even I had to take breaks from watching it. It made you feel like you were in the room with dahmer and his victims. That’s not easy to do and it took the right recipe of casting, producing, directing, set design, etc to come together and make it feel so realistic. I specifically appreciate it because it gave a glimpse into dahmer’s childhood, which interests me in particular as I’m obsessed with finding out the WHY of serial killers. It helped me understand more about human psychology because it’s based in his actual life. The nature vs nurture argument. This shows how it’s caused by both. But god I wish they never destroyed his brain.
I can always binge a series, but it took me weeks to finish this. Brilliant but very uncomfortable
Well Said
this was very well said!
@@zarkhussain5276 yes you should worry
It took weeks for me to finish it as well.
9:41 *Niecy pouring her heart out* Ryan: That’s great….so back to me
That was awkward 😂😂
So sad that Evan is getting an insane amount of recognition and notoriety so suddenly. Nobody has ever seen him in American horror story, obviously, which is his best acting aside from this show. Everything he has ever done is phenomenal. Give him the credit for everything he has done... not just dahmer. His acting in this is no surprise to me. I've been obsessed with him since the movie "sleep over" from '05-'06 lol
You're so right
Forever be a fan of “SpongeBob” from sleepover 😂
He’s so adorable in Sleepover.
Yesss and AHS has probably the few best of him ❤️❤️
TF are u talking about I only know him from American horror story
I really hope that Evan fully recovers from playing Dahmer and gets to do something more lighthearted next time. Hopefully a comedy or maybe even a musical. I would love to see that. I know he can dance and sing.
I heard him sing "Come As You Are" in AHS series. He got a good voice.
Evan Peters killed this role and literally every roll he’s ever played! The greatest actor ever🙌🏻
Can people stop using that particular phrase?
@@jaymesEo6 he literally did, what is there for people to stop using it for?
I love Evan but really applause to all the cast. They did so amazing 😭 both Evan and Niecey deserve awards.
I just realized Molly Ringwald played his step mom, lol.
@@digby_dooright me too! Realized it weeks after watching it. I didn’t recognize her at all
I appreciate Niecy's vulnerability in this interview. She seems like such a sweet person. Although Evan's performance is what stood out the most, I think that Richard's and Niecy's performance was so amazing. They played extremely difficult roles as well.
evan needs an award for this role, he did so well
evan seriously needs to be awarded for this! he was just perfect and so intense that i felt sick while watching this.
Agreed
Yessss
agreed
Can’t imagine a hundred auditions next to him.
@@tiananesbitt7156 no exactly he is definitely the best?
Evan Peters truly deserves the largest standing ovation for the Dahmer role. This is the first time I see his face clearer in real life, and I must say he is genuinely handsome. His roles don't make justice and emphasis his beautiful looks. I hope he makes many more movies and TV. And to other cast members..... massive applauses.
He is very handsome.what makes him more atrractive is his hard work & dedication to his craft
Evan Peters deserves every acting award there is!! The cherry on top is how humble and grounded he seems to be!
Evan Peters and Jenna Ortega are this years MVPs in acting. He was incredible as Jeffrey Dahmer and she was incredible as Wednesday Addams.
Ryan Murphy is the definition of a creative. Thank you Ryan for bringing to light all that you do.
I love that Neicy spoke about being placed in a box with comedy. When i saw her performance in Dahmer i really had no idea she could go that far in the direction of dramatic acting! I love her so much! And Ryan Murphy is a casting genius because everyone played their roles so perfectly! This was a hard show to watch but it was so damn GOOD and NECESSARY at the same time! Sheesh!!
You should see When They See Us. She was amazing in that show too.
@@indiashante1560 i did see that! Low key forgot cuz it’s been a while since i watched it!But for some reason this performance made me really FEEL it. I think it’s because we all were all experiencing the same emotions as far as being uneasy and scared and anxious, especially the scene with the sandwich!! BRUHHH i was on edge the entire time until she took that breath when he walked out!😣😣😣 whew! She really made this role! But also did an amazing job in when they see us as well! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
👏👏👏👏👏
The sandwich scene, which they discuss, is not only the most horrifying scene in the show. It’s up there with Silence Of The Lambs, The Shining, etc. Just the idea of it is insane. The execution between Evan and Niecie is just brilliant.
I’m glad Nicey was given this opportunity to showcase her talents. She was incredible in this series!
I think a reason why this show became so incredibly successful is because it gave every single person a chance to step outside of their own self and pick up multiple perspectives. Into mental health, into the human mind, into true human behavior, society shortcomings and everything in between. It brings up the question of are people born evil, or are they taught? We heard the victims stories, we saw where people were let down, and we saw where someone went wrong when maybe. Just maybe. He could have been saved. We won’t know. But its the fact that people from across the globe for 10 episodes got to step outside of their lives and see how different the world is. Accepting the reality that even their next door neighbor could be the next. And the entire cast was simply phenomenal.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
i literally want u to write an entire essay on this and i want to read it
Evan did such an amazing job. Best role of his career. Hope he gets all the awards!
Everyone killed their roles in this series, literally everyone. They deserve all the awards 👏👏👏
evan is so me during a group convo, i just sit there and smile lol btw. i love see him finally have that little smile, it was a very hard role, he deserves an award
Evan Peters was so brilliant in this, like in his previous works. The whole cast was amazing. Evan deserves all the awards for such a complicated, thrilled, emotional, scary, interesting role.
I think Niecy Nash deserves an award for her role. She did that. 🙌🔥🙌
Evan is the Pacino of.this generation. From the moment he showed up on AHS, I knew he would be a brilliant actor, but he had exceeded all expectations with this part. Amazing young man.
Man Evan deserves all the credit, he did such a phenomenal job,I know it was so hard for him to play such a role.
So glad to see this! I've seen quite a few interviews of Evan on his process so I know he's brilliant. It's refreshing to finally hear from Richard Jenkins because I thought he was phenomenal portraying Dahmer's dad. I'm glad they mentioned that scene where he broken down realizing his fault before Dahmer was taken away, and also where he screamed at Joyce outside of the courtroom. Absolutely bone-chilling performances there.
He's a brilliant actor. I realised this even before I watched the show. Unfortunately, I saw an edit of him and Evan from the show, on Tiktok, and I started crying with his performance in that scene when he sees Jeffrey's dead body. I didn't even know the name of his character, only Evan's, but omg, I felt his pain. Richard Jenkins is amazing.
@@LilyIglesias Richard's character name was Lionel Dahmer
there is such an amazing appreciation between the cast members. they don‘t have to be best friends, but the way they are admiring each others work and created a comfortable environment on the set is so moving and special, i‘m really happy about how this worked out.
I really hope Evan gets all the love, support, and help he needs. You can tell he is still feeling the affects. He did a phenomenal job and I hope he gets his rom com in the future! 🤭
I love Niecy so much. She is true, honest. She appreciates people and speaks from the bottom of her heart. Unlike the most of the world (cause it so cool right now to be a bad bitch, reserved and fab). Actors and actresses being asked about the work they've done often tend to repeat that "it was such a great experience to work with those people, the cast has been amazing and I'm really grateful to be a part of this project". But in her case you can literally feel her gratefulness and engagement in what she is saying. I wish everybody had their own Niecy in their life. Not to mention the rest of the people sitting at this table. But there is just something in Niecy that hits me with special warmth
The way Evan said ''I really love you'' makes me cry... HE IS SUPER CUTE
Evan didn't get to say what made the show so special! 😅 Well, besides what everyone said, it's basically because of how incredible of an actor he is! Hands down Evan Peters is the best actor of his generation!
Evans is soo shy I literally love his existence 😩
The show was so heavy and almost unbearably disturbing. I couldn't ever watch more than one or two episodes at a time. But that's what I loved was how incredibly difficult it was to watch and absorb. These actors and the writing really portrayed a mood and put out an energy that not many are capable of doing. Absolutely incredible. I'm really loving hearing how the actors felt throughout the making of this show.
Yes! I agree. I could only watch one or two episodes at a time and then I needed a break for one or two days before I could continue. But I loved the show and I really like hearing from the actors about what it was like for them to work on it. If you're interested, feel free to check out the comment I posted recently where I shared stories from the deaf actors and the director of episode 6 of what it was like for them to work with Evan :)
Yesssssssssssss
I can say Dahmer is the best show of the year. It was the first time ever for me to watch a show twice and I feel like I can watch it over and over again and never get bored. all the cast was perfect, they did a great job and Evan really deserves to have all the awards for his brilliant acting in this.
Yesssssss my thoughts exactly I can’t stop thinking about. Outstanding Series 🥇🥇🥇🥇
The way Evan is so dedicated and committed to his roles just amazes me and blows my mind, really. He's definitely one of a kind and one in a million, there really aren't many like him in this industry.
Evan...You were so amazing in this role . We can see it changed him . He deserve all the pride and the love of the world . So precious .
I just hope Evan takes care of himself. He has so many people who love him and care for his health.
Evan is one of the best actors of all time
*Drilling Noises*
I loved what Richard Jenkins said about that scene between Dahmer & his father..I love Evan & his father son chemistry..So affectionate.the way he touched Evan's cheek.
Niecy Nash is so sweet. She is definitely more than just a comedy Actress and she proved that with this series. More to come from her i hope
I can't get over how effortlessly they dive into a riveting, well-paced, deeply interesting conversation. Such incredibly present, thoughtful artists
I thought exactly the same! even the questions were very accurate.
Evan Peters is a amazing talented actor! I love his performance, he deserves a award for this!!!!! 💗💗💗 PROUD TO BE EVAN PETERS FAN! 🥳
Evan Peters simply shined in the performance, they did very well to cast him to play Jeffrey Dahmer, looking forward to season 2 with a new story, choose a handsome actor to shine like Evan did
wtf do you mean season 2 dahmer didnt come back from the dead 💀
@@walkgotr4 looool
Are you nuts?
@@walkgotr4 Ryan Murphy is going to do a season 2 with a different serial killer. Not dahmer
Who uses the word 'handsome' bro like what?
Loved Evan in AHS so when I heard he was cast as Dahmer I thought he would be perfect for the role but when I watched Dahmer I was so blown away by how good he was I had goosebumps.What an incredibly talented actor a true genius
I would love to see Evan in some adventurous lighthearted movie with a cast of 5 or more people. He is gonna fit in soooo brilliantly.
Yes! I would love to see that too. I also would love to see him in a musical. I think it would be fitting because I know he can dance and sing and he also said at the panel from a few weeks ago that he likes making his own music.
Niecy Nash better win that Emmy. Her performance was just incredible! Can’t believe I’d never heard of her before the show.
Niecy Nash, Evan Peters and Richard Jenkins should all get an Emmy Nomination! They gave extraordinary performances in this film! All actors did they thing but those 3 are the ones that gave unforgettable performances, some of the best you will ever see.
Dedication is the key word for sure!! You can tell Evan gave his EVERYTHING to this role. He seems detached when speaking on it in this interview too and it shows how strong of a gift he has. As if he did all he can do, and wants to throw the character out. He understood the assignment.
this whole cast is brilliant and Evan deserves everything, but Richard Jenkins has been doing stellar work forever. He's a treasure.
There should be a second roundtable interview with Ryan Murphy and the actors who portrayed the victims and their families. It would be interesting to have them being asked such questions like - what did you learn the most from your role? how did your performance affect you personally and emotionally? what are your thoughts about the real life families' response to the series? etc.
Though I think families would react to that negatively I would love to see that.specially actors who portrayed konerak,tony,tracy.
I'd love that
The real victims families might be so hurt for this 3 decades case and seeing that all of them portrayed well especially Tony H. mom and the sister of the victim who embodied the emotions from that impact statements trial scene bc of how accurate she have done it same as the real Rita's emotional rage. I don't think they're going to do interviews with the victims families as it would trigger more nightmares that what they thought they have already forgotten.
God you motherfuckers are so tone deaf. What did you learn from your role? Are you serious?
Richard Jenkins was phenomenal as his father, to be fair all the cast were fantastic shout out to all the supporting actors, who may have only had a few scenes especially the victims.
The performance of Evan Peters was incredible. Seeing him sitting there on the interview and just being so humble, not talking very much, just unbelievable. All the actors were great and to be honest, I had to pause it for a few days after 4 episodes because it was too much.
I did not know Evan Peters prior to this... never watched any of his previous roles - and was blown away. SO much so I have now watched almost all he has done... and I agree - he is a true actor and will be one of the greats if he ever recovers from this one. Hope he is around for a long time! Award Winning performance for sure!
I wish they had the actors for the victims on board for this discussion too.. You know, Kieran, Rodney, etc. because it feels like the actual people who lost their lives at the hands of Dahmer, the ones who truly deserved to have their stories retold, were only an afterthought in this entire process...
i agree. as much as i love all of these actors and actresses. it’s not about dahmer it’s about the victims. murphy and others keep saying that yet they are being hypocritical ab it during this whole production imo maybe it’s just me lol.
The way families are reacting it's good they didn't.. They would have said they are exploiting them.
@@sunnyd3070t’s definitely not just you. It seems like the real-life people affected by this were just an afterthought. I feel like they owe it to the surviving victims, the victims’ immediate/extended families, and even Dahmer’s immediate/extended family to at least reach out to them as some form of compensation- even if it’s in the form of a simple apology for re-opening wounds and putting real faces to these stories. Because the way they talk about it, I don’t think it’s *really* sunk in to them that these people + the next generation of trauma that this spills over to ***are alive and very likely have had their lives negatively affected by the publicity generated by series***.
@@claudettewright365 They tried. The families didn't respond back. It's their right to not want to do anything for this show but if it was a tactic for the show not to get made; it failed. They can't cry about it now because they had their chance to put their voices into the show. Maybe they thought no one would pay that much attention to Dahmer because it happened over 30 years ago; little do they know. Nobody knew it would blow up like it did but it goes to show you, people do want to know about Dahmer, why he did what he did and his impact on society overall. It's just as relevant today as it was over 40 years ago when he was committing his crimes. Don't insult people's intelligence by policing what they want to see or hear. You make your own choices but don't speak for anyone else.
Agreed. I hope they’re still able to have them on since they’ve only started promoting the show, and are able to include more of the cast.
he obviously looks different in real life but man Evans face still is like woah his stare and everything still looks like him
Niecy Nash is such a wonderful human being and great actress. I just want to hug her ❤
Can we just take a moment to see how really difficult and mentally strenuous it actually was for the actors to work on this project, it's really nerve racking. But they all gave highly stellar performances, it's not easy at all. Kudos to them and Ryan Murphy.
Yes, I think Evan and Niecy were the ones who gave themselves the most to their characters because Niecy must have totally felt Glenda's pain and also Pamela who was also Jeff's neighbor.
They all did so well, it made us feel the emotions of the past in a way. The amount of emotions I’ve experienced during this whole show was so strange. It went from happy to disgust to sadness, it was so phenomenal. I’m so proud of all of them but mainly Evan because the amount of mental dedication he had to prepare for. He deserves an Oscar or something
This show was a masterpiece! Everything was brilliant, especially the acting. Evan Peters was amazing and his performance really got me hooked
I think for me, the reason I was so drawn to this series is it's such a perfect representation of how we all fail as a society to see what's going on around us. his teachers, parents, friends, coworkers, neighbors, they all failed to see what was going on right under their noses. or in the case of Glenda, she tried so hard to bring attention to it, but we all ignored her.
evan has so much raw talent. everything i've seen him in he becomes the character. this was no exception. i was literally afraid of him, it didn't even feel or look like evan at all. he's honestly one of the most talented actors of our generation.
Evan is the most brilliant actor of this generation honestly!!!
I think we can now all agree that Evan Peters is one of the most talented actors of this generation. By the way, has lost a lot of weight. 💔 I hope it is very good! 🙏
It was Evan… Evan is the reason why I watched it and he’s a huge part of the reason why it got so many viewers
i hate to agree but it’s true i feel like majority only watched it for evan, i feel like if he didn’t do the role not many people would’ve watched it. he’s why i gave it a shot and i never watched anything he acted in all i knew was he was great at these roles, and i’m glad i did because it made me aware of all the horrors dahmer did and how horrible it was for the familys
Evan seems like a lovely, insightful, compassionate person.
Evan peters has always been an excellent actor, but i think this role specifically highlighted his talent and how gifted he is. Ive watched every jeffery dahmer interview and documentary on earth and Evan perfected the role, he got it down to the tiniest details, even the way he pronounced his “S”s. He has to get an Emmy for this role. Also, Can i just say that this is some of the best casting i’ve seen for a TV show in a minute and definitely the best of 2022.
Absolutely phenomenal series
The scene that they’re talking about at 21:40 is what broke me and made me burst into tears. I was surprisingly okay until that scene. It felt like I was really watching a father send his son to prison for these horrible things. I felt it in my gut.
I applaud Ryan Murphy and the whole cast. This series was excellent! Well done.
For me the most touching scene was when Jeffrey just graduated school and when they were sitting in cafe and talking about what he will do after that and he starting to open up to his father about his weird fantasies and he was crying but his father ignored what he was trying to say to him and interrupted him saying we will arrange to the Ohio university.
so glad Evan is getting so much appreciation and recognition. He's always been so amazing to me and this performance just made me admire him even more.
Evan seriously deserves an award for this one.. great job
Yes
When she said “I could smell that room” that’s how descriptive & good the acting and set was!
All these people have the utmost respect for one another and it’s wonderful to see.
