artist BIO

Nicholas Alexander Chavez has entered the zeitgeist as one of Hollywood’s most unique young artists.

He earned widespread acclaim for his portrayal of Lyle Menendez in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, starring opposite Chloë Sevigny and Javier Bardem.

The series debuted as the number-one show worldwide on Netflix.

Chavez followed that with another standout performance in Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie, playing Charlie Mayhew—a masochistic priest in one world, and a doctor in another.

In early 2025, he wrapped The Technique. He stars alongside Laura Harrier, Kelsey Asbille, Emma Roberts, Ben Platt, and Noomi Rapace.

Named one of the Associated Press’ Breakthrough Entertainers of 2024, Chavez has been featured in Elle’s Hollywood Rising, GQ HYPE, and Cosmopolitan.

This summer, he stars opposite Pamela Anderson as Kilroy in Tennessee Williams’ Camino Real.
