Cooper Koch, star of the Ryan Murphy series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, has inked with UTA for representation.

Koch received critical acclaim for his performance as Erik Menendez, specifically episode 5 of the Netflix series “The Hurt Man, in which he has a single 33-minute monologue. In that episode, there’s a slow zoom into Erik’s face as he details the 12 years of sexual, physical and mental abuse he claims drove him to patricide. Koch told Deadline that Murphy actually gave him a heads up about the monologue episode before signing onto the part. The actor had one rehearsal for it, with the episode getting shot over two days with a total of 10 takes.

Kim Kardashian, who has advocated for the Menendez brothers’ freedom, linked up with “Monsters” stars Cooper Koch and Nicholas Alexander Chavez at the Fourth Annual Academy Museum Gala. Kim and Cooper previously visited Lyle and Erik in prison together.
