Kelvin Harrison Jr. Interview: Netflix’s Monster and the Chevalier de Saint-Georges Biopic

If you frequent Collider, odds are you’ve read a piece in which I gush over Kelvin Harrison Jr.’s work. Guess what? The trend is about to continue courtesy of Harrison Jr.’s latest, Monster, which is now available to stream on Netflix.

Harrison Jr. leads the film as Steve Harmon, an honor student with hopes of becoming a filmmaker. When Steve is charged with felony murder, he sees his character called into question by a prosecution painting him as a monster ad pushing those hopes and dreams far out of reach in the process. Did Steve really lose his promising future by participating in the crime or is he caught up in a rigged system? Yet again, Harrison Jr. delivers commanding work as Monster takes a deeply personal approach to exploring the situation Steve finds himself in and the man he really is.

With Monster celebrating its Netflix release this weekend, I got the chance to chat with Harrison Jr. about his journey with the film, beginning with a rather unusual audition experience. Check out what he had to say about Monster and the upcoming Chevalier de Saint-Georges biopic from Searchlight Pictures in this interview!
