When co-star Niecy Nash, who plays Dahmer’s next-door neighbor Glenda Cleveland in the series, questioned Peters about how he had the ability to shed whatever after they ended up shooting, Peters stated he understood it would not be simple, stating, “I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to take some time off and decompress. I haven’t worked since we shot this. I tried to really shake it all off.”
Peters joked that he “viewed [2008’s] Step Brothers, simply alter the mind,” which drew a laugh from co-star and Step Brothers star Richard Jenkins
“I put in so much negativity and darkness to portray the character,” Peters stated, “that I thought, ‘OK, once this is done, all of that goes away and I have to get back into the light and start filling myself back up with comedies and romance and sorts of things like that.'”
All 10 episodes of DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story are offered on Netflix.
