Joey Pollari is officially becoming a permanent resident in the Ryan Murphy universe! Fresh off his performance in the “Ed Gein” installment, Pollari is jumping right back into the “Monster” franchise for its fourth season: “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story.”
Cameras are already rolling in Los Angeles for this next chapter, which dives into the infamous 1892 axe murders that shocked America.
The Cast: Who’s Who in the Borden House
Pollari is set to play John Morse, the uncle of the accused killer. He joins a heavy-hitting lineup that sounds like a total awards-season magnet. Ella Beatty takes on the legendary title role of Lizzie Borden. Charlie Hunnam (who we just saw as Ed Gein) plays her father, Andrew Borden. Rebecca Hall and Vicky Krieps are also on board, with Hall playing the doomed stepmother, Abby.
A Very Busy Year for Joey Pollari
If you feel like you’re seeing Pollari everywhere lately, you aren’t wrong. He just wrapped up a spotlight role as Psycho star Anthony Perkins in the Ed Gein season.
But wait, there’s more! On January 21, you can catch him in yet another Ryan Murphy project—FX’s “The Beauty“. That series has a wild premise about an STD that makes people gorgeous before it turns deadly, and features a massive cast including Evan Peters, Ashton Kutcher, and Bella Hadid.
From Disney to Dark Drama
Pollari has had quite the journey to get here. From his early days in the Disney film Skyrunners and the movie Love, Simon to his intense work in ABC’s “American Crime,” he’s proven he can handle everything from teen comedy to cold-blooded killers.
