Cooper Koch – Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

Few performances this year have sparked as much conversation—or empathy—as Cooper Koch’s portrayal of Erik Menendez in Netflix’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. In Ryan Murphy’s latest anthology installment, Koch delivers a haunting, humanized take on one of America’s most infamous cases, redefining what it means to step inside the psyche of a real-life figure whose story has long been sensationalized.
