Collider Interviews | Javier Bardem Is Grateful He Got to Do This in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story @ColliderInterviews | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Javier Bardem has had a long and impressive film career, starring in everything from Spanish films like Jamón jamón and Carne trémula to Hollywood blockbusters like Skyfall and Dune. A highly decorated actor, he has been nominated for four Oscars, winning one for his performance in No Country for Old Men, along with a BAFTA, Golden Globe, and SAG Award.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story marks one of his first major television roles, wherein he plays José Menendez — the murdered patriarch of Lyle (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Erik (Cooper Koch), who he was accused of sexually abusing. Season 2 of the Ryan Murphy show explores various perspectives on the crime, including José and his wife Kitty’s (Chloë Sevigny). Bardem gives a powerful performance, infusing José with an undeniably chilly and menacing nature while giving him surprising depth.
Collider got the chance to speak to Bardem about his character’s surprising final scene, the show’s poignant themes of generational trauma and toxic masculinity, and the unique kind of range he was able to display with this role.
