速報！第82屆美國電影電視金球獎提名公佈！
出生於1996年的年輕演員庫珀·科奇（Cooper Koch）憑藉美劇《怪物：梅內德斯兄弟的故事》獲得2025金球獎限定劇/電視電影最佳男主角提名！
恭喜庫珀！你可能對他的名字還比較陌生，但毫無疑問，今年隨著《怪物》的熱播，他正在迅速成為好萊塢的新寵！
是時候來了解一下這位新晉95後好萊塢人氣小生吧！
Koch, who is 28, started doing theater at the age of 5, and discovered he really loved the craft when he played Tony in “West Side Story” as an early teen.
28歲的科奇從5歲開始接觸戲劇，直到他在青春期早期出演《西區故事》中的託尼角色時，他才真正發現自己對錶演有著深厚的熱愛。
Koch’s grandfather, Hawk Koch, was president of both the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science and the Producers Guild of America, as well as a film producer. Yet Koch was so focused on theater, rather than movies, that he didn’t pay that much attention until more recently.
科奇的祖父霍克·科奇曾擔任美國電影藝術與科學學院和美國製片人協會的會長，也是著名的電影製片人。然而，科奇一直專注於戲劇表演，對電影並沒有太多關注，直到最近才開始更加關注這一領域。
“I was only encouraged just to follow what I love to do, but I don’t think it really had anything to do with my grandparents. I wasn’t really into movies that much growing up, I was more just into doing musical theater, which my mom put us in. And so I didn’t really care until later in life when I was in college and I was studying acting and I started watching films,” he says.
他說：“我只是被鼓勵去追隨自己熱愛的事物，但我覺得這與我的祖父母並沒有太大關係。小時候我並不太喜歡電影，反而更熱衷於參與音樂劇表演，我媽媽把我們帶入了這個圈子。所以，直到後來上大學時，我開始學習表演並開始看電影，我才真正對電影產生了興趣。”
Koch’s career thus far has been mainly in the horror realm. In addition to “Monsters,” Koch’s credits include bodyhorror movie“Swallowed” andslasher film“They/Them,” though he insists he’s not trying to become known as a scary movie guy.
到目前為止，科奇的職業生涯主要集中在恐怖片領域。除了《怪物》外，科奇還參演了恐怖題材電影《吞下》和血腥恐怖片《他們/她們》，儘管他堅稱自己並不想被認定為“恐怖電影男星”。
“It’s not necessarily my favorite genre, it’s just sort of what people have said yes to. So hopefully people will be able to see me doing something else. Otherwise maybe I’ll have to just be like, ‘OK, maybe the only reason I got those things is because that’s what I’m supposed to do.’”
“這不一定是我最喜歡的型別，只是人們願意讓我出演這些角色。所以希望大家能看到我嘗試其他型別的作品。否則，也許我只能接受這樣一個事實：‘好吧，也許我之所以得到這些角色，是因為這就是我註定要做的事。’”
如果你對庫珀·科奇感興趣的話，推薦去看這部犯罪美劇《怪物：梅內德斯兄弟的故事》，目前豆瓣評分7.7分。

該劇是由瑞恩·墨菲和伊恩·布倫南打造的聚焦真實犯罪的“怪物”系列劇第二部，講述了萊爾和·梅內德斯兄弟親手殺死自他們的父母，兩人聲稱遭受了父母一生的虐待，犯下謀殺罪是出於自衛，最終被判處終身監禁，不得假釋的故事。
庫珀·科奇飾演的弟弟埃裡克是前程似錦的青少年網球選手，在全美青少年球員中排名第44位。在謀殺案發生的前兩週，他還參加了1989年的全美男子青少年網球錦標賽，並打入了18歲組男子單打的第二輪。
他受父母困擾的程度之大，甚至到了想自殺的地步。在謀殺案發生後的幾個月，他向厄齊爾醫生坦白他和哥哥萊爾共同謀殺了父母。
而這個故事最讓人毛骨悚然的是，它改編自1989年發生在比佛利山莊豪宅區的正式案件。該劇的熱播引發了公眾對這一真實案件的關注，並可能促使梅內德斯案件的重新判刑。
Erik, 53, and Lyle, 56, are both currently serving out theirsentences of life without parolein California’s Donovan Correctional Facility after being arrested in 1990 on two counts of first-degree murder. They became persons of interest after their parents, José and Kitty Menéndez, were found shot in their home.
53歲的埃裡克和56歲的萊爾因1990年被指控犯有兩項一級謀殺罪，目前正在加利福尼亞州多諾萬懲教所服無期徒刑。他們在父母何塞和凱蒂·梅內德斯在家中被發現槍殺後成為調查物件。
Due to a confession they gave their therapist — which they didn’t realize was being taped — Erik and Lyle ultimately admitted to killing their parents following years of alleged physical, emotional and sexual abuse.
由於他們向心理治療師的懺悔被錄音（他們當時並不知情），埃裡克和萊爾最終承認，在遭受多年的身體、情感和性虐待後，他們殺害了父母。
The Menéndez brothers were ultimately found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole in 1996 after two high-profile trials. While their prior attempts to appeal the decision were denied, recent projects such as Monsters, The Menéndez Brothers and more have seemingly offered Erik and Lyle another chance at a resentencing.
梅內德斯兄弟最終在兩場備受矚目的審判後，於1996年被判一級謀殺罪成立，並被判處無期徒刑，不得假釋。儘管他們此前的上訴嘗試都被駁回，但最近的影視作品，如《怪物：梅內德斯兄弟的故事》等，似乎為埃裡克和萊爾提供了重新量刑的機會。
