Lots of great questions. I just wish she would have asked Cooper about his performance in episode 5. That 30 minute monologue with 0 cuts was breathtakingly amazing!
I don’t care what anyone says. These two gentleman can act their asses off! They did a phenomenal job in my opinion and I think they were the absolute best 2 options to play Lyle and Erik
Absolutely!!! I’m giving both actors a standing ovation. My goodness they did so good!! I like seeing this series being made from different perspectives
I feel the same way. I actually just finished the show and I was crying away. I don't know what to believe but I felt the emotion, what they were saying. You would believe them until they say something else. It's just crazy but overall the best people to play those killer brothers
Nicholas deserves more praise for his portrayal of Lyle, his acting skills are phenomenal. Since his character is less sympathetic than Erik it requires a great talent to not make it one dimensional and he achieved it
Cooper koch in episode 5 is another level of acting, not just because it's a one shot monologue of 30 minutes but also those lines were cruel, explaining gruesome assault for that long, he better get that Emmy award❤
Whether the show was like the real story or not, you gotta give these actors credit for their brilliant performances. Also I have no clue why Nicolas is so serious in these interviews. maybe he’s upset from the backlash for his character lyle. Idk
Nickolas did this and Ryan Murphy's groutesqe back to back and is probably tired and doesn't want to give his opion but cooper who met Eric recently and supports them isn't afraid to speak his mind Nikolas only talks like it was just a job
really? in my opinion i felt like that was his worse acting episode. it took me out of it. it felt like an actor trying to go into a place mentally that didn't feel authentic. in my opinion .
If only Ryan Murphy hadn't added incest, as if the brother's hadn't lived through enough trauma. Slacious, pervery fan fiction wasn't necessary or appropriate.
@@benharbak Yes. I thought they were acting incestuous and really trying to portray homoerotic undertones in the series, but I thought, maybe, I was mistaken. Oh, but no. Retelling a real life tragedy, then going so heavy-handed with certain implications, especially considering both brothers are married to women and have denied that that was ever the reality of their relationship, as trauma bonded brothers, seems like poor taste on the creators part, imo.
@@benharbak Exactly. With the exception that Lyle admits he did act out his molestation on Eric when they were younger children. But that's not to say anything more became of it.
agreed, it felt very dramatised and insensitive and unnecessary. yes there was speculation from tabloids, etc, but the way it was done in the show seemed to validate those speculations.
@@liIacsit’s not really that. they meant it in a sense that erik talks A LOT, even family members and lyle always said he wanted to talk and be included in everything since he was a child. he basically always told the story too whereas lyle was always more reserved and just listened to his younger brother. hopefully that makes sense 😭 because of that cooper is a kind of similar to erik haha
100% at the time it was unimagineable that a father could be so cruel and disgusting by raping his male children. And people also had a hard time believing that a mother could turn a blind eye to her kids being sexually abused. But you only need to go back and look at their tesmonies in court and you can clearly see, that Erik & Lyle are telling the truth. It's heart wrenching to watch them. Yes, they did deserve to go to prison for what they did but for manslaughter and not 1st degree murder. They need to be released. They should have been released long ago.
I promise u it can happen, my mom turned a blind eye.. she thought she had no where to go! No cars no beautiful house, that’s what was important to her to keep us in this beautiful home, to act like it was ok..but it wasn’t ok.. I wish she would have said NO! I’m taking my babies out of this abuse! I watched this series and it was heartbreaking, when you have been abused you know when someone is telling the truth, these guys are honestly telling the horrible truth
This kind of experimenting is unseen, especially the episode 5, done in single shot. Truly amazing, the emotions. Cooper Koch's performance is unbelievable. I have not seen any actor taking this great a challenge.
Nobody knows if they were abused the way they say they were. It could be true or it could all be a lie. What everyone knows, however, is how they killed their parents with bestiality. Guilty of abuse or not, the parents are the only known victims. You are demented to defend the murderers of such heinous, such odious crime.
These two guys proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are some top tier actors and masters of their craft. No joke, whatever your opinion on the show and the real life brothers is, they portrayed such excellent characters and did such an incredible job. Idk if Netflix shows can earn awards, but they BOTH deserve Emmy’s
I haven’t seen any backlash Nicholas has received. If that’s the reason he’s been guarded during these interviews, I think that’s incredibly sad because he did an amazing job. He should be celebrated for his performance. Correction, BOTH should be celebrated! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼
No, this show should not be celebrated at all. It exploits and fetishizes a true story of child sexual abuse And Lyle's portrayal is completely inaccurate
@@MidnightRain111I’m talking about their performance. Not the show and the dramatization of the events. Remember, this is not a documentary. It’s a SHOW for entertainment. You should not take this as a word for word accurate retelling of the events that happened. If that’s what people are looking for, they should watch the trial and direct interviews from the people involved.
@@Giza13 if this is a show for 'entertainment' imo it should not have been made at all idk how we as a society are okay with profiting off of real peoples lives by making incorrect retellings in the name of 'entertainment'
I hope that Nicholas’ family and friends are constantly checking in on him because the guy looks STRESSED. I think he must be overwhelmed now that he’s getting so much exposure. I just want to give him a hug. Hope he remembers to take care of his mental health ❤️
I hope that ERIK AND LYLE's family members are chekcing on them. The real brothers who suffered a traumatic childhood are being revictimized by this offensive show, which Nicholas agreed to participate in
I bet he doesn’t wanna be there cuz Cooper has been the breakout star since the show aired. Even the interviewer was showing bias in this interview. I wouldn’t be “happy” either but unfortunately it’s his job to show up.
Regardless of how accurate Lyle was "portrayed" Nicholas Chavez absolutely shined, he has star power, I bet he goes on to big things. He'd play an incredible Patrick Bateman in a prequel/sequel/remake or if Ryan Murphy did Bateman as a character in the next season of AHS. Like if you agree. 👍
@@freelikeyve Never said it was.... literally commented on "regardless how accurate it was"... acknowledging it's based on real people lol. I've watched literally every minute of the real court footage available, every audio tape, crime scene details, etc. studied it deeply, have you?

👍 Also if you're commenting on Patrick Bateman being a "fictional character" I never said do him as the next focus of the MONSTERS series.. I said prequel/sequel/remake to Christian Bales film, or in a season of AHS... which is loaded with fictional characters.
I'm calling this now: This show is going to receive an award NOMINATION!!!!! These guys WENT OFF IN THIS NETFLIX SERIES!!! BRAVO!!! And my money is on Nicholas Alexander Chavez - he was BRILLIANT!!! Cooper Koch as well, I mean it can go either way. But this is a Blockbuster!!! I've been binge watching all weekend. In between studying for mid-terms, LOL.
Is it just me or it's my first time in forever to know about such amazing and incredible Hollywood actors who are so incredibly articulate? Their choice of words and how they deliver them is just so refreshing to me! I hope to see them more on screen!!!
They were absolutely amazing! Cooper's "quiet" demeanour was somehow more scary than Nicholas' crazy portrayal. Cooper's face is just so spooky in the series.
Yeah! Cooper is the scarier one with a disturbing, psychotic vibe or look, and his Kubrick stare baffled me the most throughout the series. 😂 Cooper's acting just scared the shit out of me in the series
@I felt like sum times I saw cooper and not who he played “Erik” like as if Erik wasn’t like that, ofc Lyle wasn’t like that either but Nick’s role stayed an asshole and was brave talking back to their parents and scaring lil kids at Halloween but Erik switched from cute to “Lyle” and I found it so weird lol but “Lyle’s” gaslighting type of talking was so eerie and intimidating
@@breeayeezyI know, but Cooper's acting was something else: unique, nuanced, and it has so much range, especially the character development of Erik. Erik's character somehow feels more sociopathic and spine-chilling, especially at the end of episode 5 & the very last scene of their boat trip, where it was revealed that Erik was the mastermind out of these two characters. However, Lyle acts like a macho man who yells most of the time in the series.Besides, the series was good enough, even though it wasn't accurate.
@ they said at the beginning that it was Erik’s idea, nothing surprising revealed and idk I watched the 4th and 7th episode and Nick brought me chills and I almost cried, it was harder to watch this then the whole Dahmer series. The 5th ep. didn’t moved me like Nick’s performance did cuz “Erik” was just casually telling his story with a lil crying, I jus wanted to hug him but that’s it… Lyle was mirroring their father clearly and I loved it. With Erik… some times I saw the actor cooper (and i didnt knew nothing about the actor) and I didn’t liked it. For me I’m thinking what if Erik was portrayed by a straight actor…? I assumed that cooper was gay, I saw ppl saying “Nicholas is for the men😭😭” (I think they mixed up their names I assume now) as if girls were sad that he was gay but I was like wait so both actors are gay? And then while watching the show my twin googled cooper and he has a whole husband🤣 so my assumption about him were right. Seeing him in interviews, I didn’t know that he’s more fem gay and I could really see that in Erik and I didn’t liked it… I’m always like what if a straight actor had to play Erik🤔 Btw I thought at the beginning before starting the show that Nick played Erik and Cooper Lyle cuz I knew Lyle’s older and cooper looked older to me (totally forgot how the brothers looked when they were young, the “recent” mugshots of them were jus in my mind) so I switched the actors up🤣 and then before starting the show we found out that Cooper is only 3 yrs older than Nicholas lol but it was a great show for a non-serial killers. Ppl keep saying that Bundy, Gacy, the night stalker etc. would be a better show but I think they forgot all of them are serial killers and u can do more stuff with stories/crimes like these.
Omg cooper seems so lovely & such a breath of fresh air on tv. His body language, the way he talks is so realistic and not robotic like all celebrity interviews. He seems like a normal guy just answering some questions
They are both great actors and handsome! 👏 Cooper seems to enjoy the whole experience way more than Nicholas does. In another interview Nicholas said he's ready to move on to his next role.
maybe he regrets being in thw show who knows, he did say he had no idea who the brothers were until after just strange he should of at least did his research before even getting involved not to say he is talented
I think it’s because of all the backlash he has been getting for the portrayal of Lyle. But as an actor that isn’t his fault because it is the director and writers responsible for his portrayal. It’s very clear the real brothers want nothing to do with Nicolas which I’m sure is very uncomfortable and unfortunate the fact it’s public as well. I think everyone should remember the show isn’t 100% accurate to the real events. Whether that is right or wrong it’s up to everyone else to decide.
Episode 5, is why I want to call him "Super Cooper". I've been a fan of Nicholas Alexander Chavez since General Hospital. He's wiser than his birth certificate and just as sweet. When he opens up, it's intentional, not just jovial jibber jabber. I admire a man that can listen well and consider his words carefully. He probably picked it up during his years on the speech and debate team.
These two guys did a phenomenal job portraying the brothers. Everyone in this was such good actors and the producers couldnt have picked better actors for each character honestly.
Love the actors' responses. They are being respectful and honest about true events and the brothers they are protraying, vs what's being dramatized in the show. I don't watch the mini series, not a fan of Hollywood's over dramatization of real events with subtexts, but knowing about it did help me find out more about the real events. I am supporting the Menendez brothers' release and I wish them the best of life with their families.
I love Cooper so much and I thank him for telling Erik that he believed him, and that he supports them, it was so fresh to hear that, Cooper took this role so seriously and have such a passion on telling the truth, what a great person and actor he is.
I remember this when it happened. But I always believed that if this was sisters and not brothers, they would have never been convicted. Please look at the facts of this case and think about this. They were kids, but I do believe the abuse was real. Time have changed and they have served so many years.
@@jessicaharvey9132If one does not like things at home at those ages, one moves out; one does not murder his parents. These brothers were spoiled rotten, and the only thing that they feared was being cut off financially and disinherited.
The whole cast in this series did an amazing job specially these two actors. We recently watched the series and kept saying how well they performed. Brilliant actors.
Phycopaths are so kind and soft voice and they look so innocent.. this actor doesn’t know what he is saying.. the other actor kept silence.. he understood
I cannot understand why the prison system separated the brothers. That seemed incredibly cruel and unnecessary, but am glad to hear they have been reunited after so long apart. These two actors did a fantastic job and Javier Bardem was awesome too.
@@breakfastonuranus it’s not about what you know, it’s about what you can PROVE in court. The girl couldn’t understand why they were separated so I helped her understand based on evidence presented in court. Goodbye.
These two guys showed the world what INCREDIBLE actors they are as their performance portraying the Menendez brothers in the Netflix series “Monsters” was riveting!!
These 2 men were amazing, they were the only 2 people who could do that movie, I cannot imagine anyone else doing it. Nicholas was so passionate playing Lyle, I almost thought he was Lyle. Both men deserve to be mentioned in the award season.
What an absolutely brilliant ensemble chosen to play the brothers. These two guys do need all the rewards for brilliant acting. Nicholas is this closed book reeling you in and Cooper, well Cooper you just have to love. What handsome two men with a brilliant acting career waiting for them.
I’ve never heard of Nicholas before this show…but damn he is such AN INCREDIBLE actor. My god he brought so much raw intensity to the table through it this show, despite this show painting the brothers in such a bad light.. which I myself don’t appreciate.i couldn’t even tear my eyes away whenever Nicholas was on screen. He needs to be casted in more intense roles like this one.
Vanity comment ---- these actors are gorgeous & charismatic and totally glamorized the Boy's behavior after the murders. I was like, OMG...hotness. lol. That's sad, I know.

I assumed that cooper was gay, I saw ppl saying “Nicholas is for the men😭😭” (I think they mixed up their names I assume now) as if girls were sad that he was gay but I was like wait so both actors are gay? And then while watching the show my twin googled cooper and he has a whole husband🤣 so my assumption about him were right. Seeing him in interviews, I didn’t know that he’s more fem gay and I could really see that in Erik and I didn’t liked it… I’m always like what if a straight actor had to play Erik🤔
Btw I thought at the beginning before starting the show that Nick played Erik and Cooper Lyle cuz I knew Lyle’s older and cooper looked older to me (totally forgot how the brothers looked when they were young, the “recent” mugshots of them were jus in my mind) so I switched the actors up🤣 and then before starting the show we found out that Cooper is only 3 yrs older than Nicholas lol but it was a great show for a non-serial killers.
Ppl keep saying that Bundy, Gacy, the night stalker etc. would be a better show but I think they forgot all of them are serial killers and u can do more stuff with stories/crimes like these.
Cooper is so just so well spoken and respectful 😊
These two men will surely get Emmy nominations for their performances! Amazing actors! Bravo ****
Cooper and Nicholas protrayed the characters very well, showing all the different emotions flawlessly.
Omg cooper seems so lovely & such a breath of fresh air on tv. His body language, the way he talks is so realistic and not robotic like all celebrity interviews.
He seems like a normal guy just answering some questions
Best acting I have seen in a very long time. These guys were brilliant on screen
Both of them were so brilliant..amazing...so talented and incredible ..they deserve every aspect of recognition
Cooper did an amazing job playing Erik.
They are both great actors and handsome! 👏 Cooper seems to enjoy the whole experience way more than Nicholas does. In another interview Nicholas said he's ready to move on to his next role.
maybe he regrets being in thw show who knows, he did say he had no idea who the brothers were until after just strange he should of at least did his research before even getting involved not to say he is talented
@@ML-te6qv He did do research lol, he’s just ready to move on from it instead being attached to it
They weren’t kids. They were adults.
I think it’s because of all the backlash he has been getting for the portrayal of Lyle. But as an actor that isn’t his fault because it is the director and writers responsible for his portrayal. It’s very clear the real brothers want nothing to do with Nicolas which I’m sure is very uncomfortable and unfortunate the fact it’s public as well. I think everyone should remember the show isn’t 100% accurate to the real events. Whether that is right or wrong it’s up to everyone else to decide.
@@paulvoorhies8821 yo who are you talking to lol
Ive never seen more smooth and comfortable interview like this before! I absolutely love her 😊
Both sensational actors! Cooper is such a cutie! 🩷
Who's hotter?
These 2 young men! Your acting was phenomenal! Don't want to play favorites but the Lyle character was AMAZING acting!!!
These guys are brilliant, both of them. Just phenomenal storytellers. I hope they get awards for making a difficult story to watch so interesting.
Episode 5, is why I want to call him "Super Cooper". I've been a fan of Nicholas Alexander Chavez since General Hospital. He's wiser than his birth certificate and just as sweet.
When he opens up, it's intentional, not just jovial jibber jabber. I admire a man that can listen well and consider his words carefully. He probably picked it up during his years on the speech and debate team.
These two guys did a phenomenal job portraying the brothers. Everyone in this was such good actors and the producers couldnt have picked better actors for each character honestly.
I’m amazed at how well spoken Cooper is about the Menendez brothers and their opinion on this series
Love the actors' responses. They are being respectful and honest about true events and the brothers they are protraying, vs what's being dramatized in the show.
I don't watch the mini series, not a fan of Hollywood's over dramatization of real events with subtexts, but knowing about it did help me find out more about the real events.
I am supporting the Menendez brothers' release and I wish them the best of life with their families.
I wouldn't say their characters portray the reality of the brothers relationship although can't deny the fact that these 2 actors did a fantastic job
I love Cooper so much and I thank him for telling Erik that he believed him, and that he supports them, it was so fresh to hear that, Cooper took this role so seriously and have such a passion on telling the truth, what a great person and actor he is.
Nicholas is so me when I see two people chatting😂😂
Oh Cooper, stellar ,stellar performance! You got me at episode 5 i was sobbing. You're so good.
Their performances was insanely good lol, I haven’t seen performances like this in awhile 😭
Nic stole the show man. Lots of talk about that ONE episode with Cooper, but Nic stole that show the whole way through. As did Javier. Amazing.
They both are adorable ❤❤❤❤ amazing job!
Nicholas is being so serious & Cooper being a babygurl in here.🤧
They both were so great in the series omg.
Baby girl 😂
I'm happy They are not giving Blake lively vibes, they're truly invested in Menendez brothers and the assault those brothers endured,
The acting from these 2 blew me away and for that reason I will watch it again. I was completely captivated.
Nicholas Alexander Chavez is one of greatest
Incredible actors. Currently watching the series and I’m in awe with their performances.
I remember this when it happened. But I always believed that if this was sisters and not brothers, they would have never been convicted. Please look at the facts of this case and think about this. They were kids, but I do believe the abuse was real. Time have changed and they have served so many years.
Correct. Bc if it was women, statistically speaking, the abuse accusations may have been REAL. the brothers are full of ish
They were not “kids”; they were adults. Erik was 18 years old, and Lyle was 21 years old.
@@luannaelena1972maybe legal adults but come on they still have a lot of maturing to do at 18 and 21.
@@jessicaharvey9132If one does not like things at home at those ages, one moves out; one does not murder his parents. These brothers were spoiled rotten, and the only thing that they feared was being cut off financially and disinherited.
Young adults, barely.
i didnt realize how well spoken nick was. its honestly so attractive
Nicholas Alexander Chavez is a fucking beast in this show!!!!
I like Cooper more, the fact that he wanted to meet Erik and Lyle and he actually did his research, much respect to him fr 👏🏿
Man that Cooper is just gorgeous.
The whole cast in this series did an amazing job specially these two actors. We recently watched the series and kept saying how well they performed. Brilliant actors.
Nicholas actually embodies Lyle here 😂
These two killed it. They did a phenomenal job portraying the brothers.
I could stare at Cooper all day, he gives me fuzzy feelings inside. This is not healthy...
He's hot.
He's such a cutie patootie, but the ladies ain't got a chance lol. Lucky lucky guys 😔
@@melina1916i see a ring tho 😢
Same, he is so beautiful lol
I don’t think he’d be into you miss
They both did a great job! I was amazed with that episode when Cooper is "in it" the hole episode in just one shooting, really great!
Cooper looks like a young Erik! Almost could’ve been his twin brother tbh. 🫶
Um no…
@@Ribbitplease um yes..
Cooper looks creepy even his eyes
Very well asked and extremely well answered. Episode 5 is truly powerful and award winning television.
I LOVE NICK AND COOPER SM
It’s my first time to watch Nicholas Chavez I am amazed by his acting… he is a very good actor.
Nicholas got the best viral edit right now though.
DIMES! DIMES! DIMES!
Some of the best acting Ive seen in a loooong time. Absolutely phenomenal actors!
Phycopaths are so kind and soft voice and they look so innocent.. this actor doesn’t know what he is saying.. the other actor kept silence.. he understood
psychopaths lol
Cooper’s silly laughter when asked if he knew the series was going to create so much controversy, was totally mischievously adorable! ☺️😉
Not " yeah i know😁iconic"😭😭😭his so real
They were brilliant in it. It was a great series all round. Excellent work and I hope the brothers are freed.
The show should have prefaced each episode with this is a dramatized version of events
The same way people need instructions for their shampoo? I think it is obvious
Absolutely incredible actors!!! I wish u guys get all the accolades for ur performance! One of the best i hve seen in a while!!!!!
Cant wait to see them in greater roles. They did great
I cannot understand why the prison system separated the brothers. That seemed incredibly cruel and unnecessary, but am glad to hear they have been reunited after so long apart. These two actors did a fantastic job and Javier Bardem was awesome too.
…They were separated because they were passing letters about plotting an escape, u goofball. But go off with this trendy internet sympathy
@@freelikeyve internet sympathy? Didn't you know their actual story?
@@breakfastonuranus it’s not about what you know, it’s about what you can PROVE in court. The girl couldn’t understand why they were separated so I helped her understand based on evidence presented in court. Goodbye.
@@freelikeyve nah it's you calling sympathy an internet trend is uncalled for
@@breakfastonuranus …GOOD. BYE
These two guys showed the world what INCREDIBLE actors they are as their performance portraying the Menendez brothers in the Netflix series “Monsters” was riveting!!
These 2 men were amazing, they were the only 2 people who could do that movie, I cannot imagine anyone else doing it. Nicholas was so passionate playing Lyle, I almost thought he was Lyle. Both men deserve to be mentioned in the award season.
Amazing actors! One of the best series I've ever seen :)
What an absolutely brilliant ensemble chosen to play the brothers. These two guys do need all the rewards for brilliant acting. Nicholas is this closed book reeling you in and Cooper, well Cooper you just have to love. What handsome two men with a brilliant acting career waiting for them.
I’ve never heard of Nicholas before this show…but damn he is such AN INCREDIBLE actor. My god he brought so much raw intensity to the table through it this show, despite this show painting the brothers in such a bad light.. which I myself don’t appreciate.i couldn’t even tear my eyes away whenever Nicholas was on screen. He needs to be casted in more intense roles like this one.
Very good questions, i was bothered with some story line that was told from this series but it changed after i watched this interview, thank you!
Nicholas looking at Cooper like "what the f is wrong with you, dude?"
In response to them getting out?
Cooper said the same thing in another interview with both of them so I would think Nick is used to it by now.
I can’t unsee them as the Mendez brothers lol. I feel like they are still in Character 😊 they did a phenomenal job!
Vanity comment ---- these actors are gorgeous & charismatic and totally glamorized the Boy's behavior after the murders. I was like, OMG...hotness. lol. That's sad, I know.
both are so well spoken
I love these actors!!❤ but I think she could’ve asked better questions
You both should get an award for your acting, great talent! Well done on portraying a true & emotional story ❤
