The true-crime boom continues on streaming services, with Peacock entering the fray with a new series based on the serial Killer John Wayne Gacy. The series promises a different approach than past portrayals of notorious killers, with the focus shifting away from Gacy himself and towards his victims. Actor Michael Chernus, known for supporting roles in dark projects like “Severance” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” will portray Gacy. Chernus acknowledges the gravity of the role. I’m both excited and humbled by this opportunity. The direction that the writers are taking with this project is important, focusing on the victims and their families as well as those who finally brought John Wayne Gacy to justice. While Gacy was the perpetrator of these horrific crimes, I’m relieved that he won’t be the main focus of the series. It’s heartbreaking for me to think of what his victims (all young men and boys) could have done with their lives had the system not failed them
