‘Monsters’ Star Cooper Koch Talks “Rewarding” Meeting With Erik Menendez In Prison: “I Just Care So Much For Him”


After portraying him in Ryan Murphy's 'Monsters', Cooper Koch opened up about meeting Erik Menéndez in prison.

Cooper Koch has developed a profound sense of care for the Menéndez brothers since telling their story on screen. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón has since said he doesn’t “think they deserve to be in prison until they die,” as a new hearing for the brothers is set for Nov. 26 with new-ish evidence of the abuse music executive José inflicted on his sons and others. Koch also revealed his initial reaction to episode five of Monsters, which consists of a 35-minute single shot of Erik detailing the abuse he and brother Lyle allegedly suffered at the hands of their father José and mother Kitty Menéndez before killing both parents in 1989.
