Monster star Charlie Hunnam on getting 'specific' Ed Gein detail right
"The voice needed to be really specific,"
"But I don't think any of us really had an idea of what that was,"
"I started to see him through a series of affectations to please his mother. That's where the voice came from,"
"what Ed thought that his mother wanted him to be."
Monster: The Ed Gein Story focuses on Wisconsin body snatcher Ed Gein, whose crimes inspired films like Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Charlie Hunnam plays Gein and developed a distinct, childlike, ethereal voice to contrast with his physical presence. Researchers lacked usable audio of Gein, but Hunnam obtained a 70-minute interview recorded the night Gein was arrested and used it to shape the vocal performance. The vocal choices emphasize affectations aimed at pleasing Gein's mother, who reportedly wanted a daughter. Max Winkler directed most episodes, and the production did not always feel overwhelmingly dark during filming.
