Yeah. He's in a hole in Oregon. Wow. It's exactly where he should be. He had a very loving, close relationship with his daughter, who was a little girl. And then she was 15 when he got caught. And so she had to reconcile this loving, sweet dad with who was this monster. And I had no ambition or attraction to playing a serial killer at all. But this is told from her point of view.

And it's the relationship between her and her father. And she really had a lot of courage to even tell this story. And that's why I'm doing it.

Yes, he knows about it. Usually when I do play a real person who's alive, I always want to meet them. But with this, number one, I didn't feel like I was going to get the true story from him. And I didn't want to give him any kind of satisfaction or entertainment or take away from the boredom of prison that he deserves. And so I read his daughter Melissa's book and

Melissa knows him better than he knows himself.
Yeah, he found ways to get in contact with her. He wrote her letters. I mean, huge amounts of letters. That's what kind of prompted her to start her podcast about this and her way of healing. And, you know, in a way, it's how do you heal from anything like this? But... was eventually to reach out to the families of her father's victims. And the families of other perpetrators.

And it really helped her, I think, too. Because you have to think, is this in me? And then the shame, it's shame that you're living with. And shame is something that holds us back. But if you put it out into the world, it loses its power. Yeah, so true. And that's how courageous... She has been, and she's really kind of a hero of mine.

Yeah. I mean, that's one that is just still sticks with you, and it's ongoing still. That's what makes it so fascinating, is how could people do that to each other, to those that they loved? I mean, especially a parent and a child. That's the most unthinkable you could possibly imagine. It's unbelievable.
