Nicholas Alexander Chavez (ex-Spencer, General Hospital) is discussing a much-talked-about moment in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The daytime grad spoke to TVLine about the moment when the mother of his character Lyle tears off Lyle's hairpiece.

When Nicholas Alexander Chavez began researching his role as Lyle Menéndez for Monsters, he paid special attention to the “mask” that Lyle’s dad Jose forced him to use when he began losing his hair.

At this time Lyle has not spoken out about the series. Nicholas Alexander Chavez, who portrays Lyle in the series, told PEOPLE that he “really sympathizes with the brothers, the fact that this was the most traumatic moment of theirs, and then having that put on television for the world to see. I would imagine that would be incredibly heavy.”
