He played that role for three years before impressing Murphy so much he said he wouldn't make "Monsters" without him. In Interview magazine, Chavez remembered the day he got the good news.
"So I took a little field trip to Santa Barbara with my girlfriend to get my mind off of it and then I came back to L.A. and basically, the second I got back within the city limits, I got the call. It is one of my most cherished memories. As actors, we go through so much to get that one big 'yes.' To get that and to feel like you're being seen as an artist and as a human being, I couldn't have been happier."
The young actor might not have known how much he was committing. If there is one thing Murphy doesn't do, it's gay baiting. At some point, you might have to get naked if you're hired, or at least do a thirst scene no matter what the subject matter is. In "Monsters" there were more than a few.
Chavez brought his fine-tuned physique to the role. A pool scene shows both Chavez and Koch in tight Speedos, and in another, both brothers are showering together in a steamy embrace. Murphy has made a career of titillating his audience by showcasing hot men in various stages of undress. It sells. Aaron Spelling did it for network TV back in the '70s, coining the phrase "jiggle TV" because pretty actresses never wore bras. Now with social media, a good male thirst trap photo can build a Hollywood career.
Chavez doesn't delve too much into that or his private life on social media, but it's a nice place to gawk at his photo spreads or keep up with what he is working on. But don't be surprised if this young, handsome actor goes on to do great things in the entertainment world. He recently went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and penned a reminder to himself.
"When I was there, this is what I wrote down: 'In my career, I'm determined to make a significant contribution to art and to the world,' and I'm really curious to find out what that means for me," Chavez told Tudum. "I'm going to find my own path, and I'm going to make meaningful use of the time that I have on Earth."
As previously stated, his next project is "I Know What You Did Last Summer." He will join legacy actors Jennifer Love-Hewitt and Freddy Prinze Jr. for this highly anticipated horror movie. Beyond that, he doesn't seem to have anything scheduled. But it probably won't be long before that changes.
"This part of my life feels like a discovery," he told People Magazine. "I get to have the privilege of taking some meetings with some really, really cool, impressive, and creative human beings, who are creating some of the most interesting art in the world right now. And so I'm really excited to see where these meetings lead to, and what projects will come from it, and I'll discover what's next for me."
