Chavezaissance

'The most challenging aspects of playing Father Charlie ended up being what made him so delightful as a character to live in. It is that inner conflict. It is the fact that his inner life disagrees with his outer life.'

It's a great week to be actor Nicholas Alexander Chavez.  After gaining a fandom, and winning critical acclaim, and an EMMY for his work on General Hospital, the actors two Ryan Murphy produced projects both dropped in the last seven days.

Between playing Lyle Menendez in Monsters and Father Charlie Mayhew in Grotesquerie, Chavez is the man of the moment, currently all over the net from social media sites, to sites like FH focused on the male form.  Chavez also just signed with CAA, one of Hollywood's biggest, and most successful talent agencies.

I'm sure some of you are getting sick of my posts on Chavez, and his Monster's co-star Cooper Koch, and I promise I'm almost done.  I'm just about to finish the Netflix show, and just finished the first two episodes of Grotesquerie.  As much as I loved the fast-paced visual eye candy in Monsters, I think I actually got pulled in deeper to the story set up in the first two episodes of Grotesquerie.  It's just fascinating to watch a star on the rise in real time.  

I'm one of those who, except for maybe a shirtless clip o Youtube, never saw a moment of Chavez during his time on General Hospital.  Yet... I knew who he was, posted about him, and heard the buzz around his promising career.  His incredible body and great face doesn't hurt, but unlike so many soap hunks before him, Chavez has the talent and the drive to back up all the hype surrounding him.
