"Mean-Man Monologues" or Monologues for Actors Who Want to Play Jerks
Tired of playing the nice guy? Wanna play a jerk? You don’t need to feel left out of the “mean-girl monologue” vibe! If you’re a male actor looking for a monologue where you can let yourself dig into your meaner side, check out this list below. Here are eight (8) “Mean-Man Monologues,” where the main character has either done something stupid (like, um, stealing from his girlfriend’s family or breaking a restraining order to deliver a Christmas tree his ex doesn’t want) or is just acting like a self-centered fill-in-the-blank.

Enjoy finding those moments to make them enthralling and compelling, maybe a little endearing, or at least a character you love to hate!
