Who does Tobias Jelinek play in Monster: The Ed Gein Story?
Entertainment coverage identifies Jelinek as Richard Speck in the Netflix series. The role attribution should be understood as reported casting: Netflix’s official title page and cast guide do not name Jelinek or Speck in their searchable text. Netflix’s title page and Tudum’s cast guide provide series and principal-cast context, rather than confirmation of this particular credit.

What is Monster: The Ed Gein Story about?
Netflix describes the 2025 series as an eight-episode, TV-MA drama about Ed Gein, set in 1950s rural Wisconsin. Its official synopsis calls it “The shocking true-life tale of Ed Gein, the infamous murderer and grave robber who inspired many of Hollywood’s most iconic on-screen killers.” That is Netflix’s framing of the series, not an independent historical assessment.
The Tudum cast guide identifies Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein, Laurie Metcalf as Augusta Gein, Suzanna Son as Adeline Watkins, and Tom Hollander as Alfred Hitchcock. Co-creator Ian Brennan has described the creative approach as taking known facts and imagining what else might be true; the series is a dramatization, so scenes should not automatically be read as documented events.

- Conjured up by some unsuspecting pranksters, a tricky trio of 300-year-old witches set out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth. But first, they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat.
Why is Tobias Jelinek associated with Hocus Pocus?
Disney lists Jelinek in the cast of the original Hocus Pocus, released July 16, 1993. Disney also promotes the film in 4K Ultra HD. That earlier credit is the connection behind the familiar description of Jelinek as a Hocus Pocus actor; it is separate from the reported Speck casting. Disney’s film page lists the cast and release date.
