The 'Ozark' actor discusses playing the real-life lawyer of axe-murderer Candy Montgomery and his growing family.
, he assumed the famed television writer had embellished the story of axe-wielding murderous housewife Candy Montgomery. “I thought, He must be taking liberties. This must be a bit hyperbolic,” Pelphrey recalls. “But not so. Everything he wrote was true.” In the HBO Max show, Pelphrey portrays Don Crowder, the pompous, inexperienced lawyer who defended Montgomery in her 1980 trial.
The Candy Montgomery story is pretty fascinating because it's one of those stories where truth is stranger than fiction.I didn't get to meet Don Crowder, unfortunately. Don took his own life in the ’90s. I learned a lot about him, though, and I got to talk with one of his friends who was also his law partner, Robert Udashen. He was on set when we were filming the courtroom scenes, and he actually said he thought I defended Elizabeth better than Don defended Candy.
