How the cast of Netflix’s ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ compare to the real-life people they play

Oscar-winner Javier Bardem plays José, who the brothers accused of sexual assault during their trial.

Bardem is a Hollywood icon, and won the best supporting actor Oscar in 2007 for his intense role as hitman Anton Chigurh in “No Country for Old Men.”

He also played James Bond villain Raoul Silver in “Skyfall,” Him in “Mother!,” and Stilgar in “Dune: Part One” and “Dune: Part Two.”

Murphy also recruited another regular “American Horror Story” star, Leslie Grossman, to play Judalon Smyth.

Smyth became involved in the Menéndez case because she was in a relationship with their psychiatrist, Dr. Jerome Oziel. After they couple broke up, she told the police that she heard the brothers describe shooting their mother’s eyeball during the murder.

Grossman starred in “American Horror Story: Cult,” “Apocalypse,” “1984,” “Double Feature,” “NYC,” and “Delicate.”

Dr. Jerome Oziel was a key part of the Menéndez brothers’ trial, as he testified against them and told jurors that Erik initially confessed to him that they murdered their parents.

Dallas Roberts plays Oziel in the series. He was recently played Devon in “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” the husband of Kathryn Hahn’s character, Claire.
