Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story<\/em><\/a> has hit Netflix, and it follows the true story of the Menendez brothers, Lyle<\/strong> and Erik<\/strong><\/a>, who murdered<\/a> their parents, Jos\u00e9<\/strong> and Kitty Menendez<\/strong><\/a>, in August 1989. The anthology series first premiered in 2022 with the season Dahmer \u2014 Monsters: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story<\/em>. Now that Monsters is focused on the Menendez family\u2019s case, Hollywood Life<\/strong> has rounded up a cast guide from the series, below.<\/p>\n As a veteran actor who has been in the business for 30 years, Javier is known for his roles in countless films and TV shows. Among his most notable credits are Eat Pray Love, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,<\/em> the Dune<\/em> franchise and Being the Ricardos<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Since Javier has played a villain several times in his career, his Monsters<\/em> role appears effortless to viewers. While speaking with The Wrap<\/em><\/a> in September 2024, the Spanish actor discussed one important theme in the series: trauma.<\/p>\n \u201cIt really speaks about some very important trauma, about how not being able to heal the traumatic events [from] childhood can cause dramatic effect for generations to come,\u201d Javier told the outlet. \u201cI guess you just go in and just play it, play it safe. I believe in that. I have a family that I go to at the end of the day, and I don\u2019t want to show up being somebody that is not daddy or the husband or the partner. It\u2019s a job. And the more I allow myself to play with imagination, the farther I can go, I think.\u201d<\/p>\nJavier Bardem \u2014 Jos\u00e9 Menendez<\/h2>\n
