Meet Payton Koch, twin brother of Netflix's Monsters star Cooper Koch: he's an Emmy Award-nominated film editor and is proudly supportive of his famous brother's acting work
After starring in Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story last year,
Cooper Koch quickly became one of Hollywood's hottest men. Fans left and right can't seem to get enough of the charming 28-year-old actor, taking to X to share comments like, 'therapy is expensive but cooper koch's laugh is for free <3' and 'anyway cooper koch stays unproblematic and sexy'.

Recently, after killers the Menendez brothers had their petition for a new trial rejected by Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman, Cooper Koch reiterated his support for the pair. 'It is still my firm belief that the Menendez brothers did not receive a fair second trial and all of the evidence that supported their claims of sexual, psychological, physical and emotional abuse at the hands of their mother and father were not considered,' he said in a public statement.

Payton has worked on several popular projects as a film editor, including series American Horror Story (2018-2021) andRatched (2020). His work on Hulu's TV comedy-drama Only Murders in the Building, which stars Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Tina Fey and

Netflix's Dept. Q star Matthew Goode plays annoying, ‘amazing' cop in Edinburgh crime drama
Matthew Goode quite likes being a leading man. Advertisement He is the star of Dept. Q, based on the books by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen and set in the cold case division of an Edinburgh police station. From The Queen's Gambit producer Scott Frank, the nine-part miniseries, now streaming on Netflix, sees Goode playing a one-man combination of good cop/bad cop. While Detective Chief Inspector Carl Morck is a brilliant investigator, he is equally successful at annoying people – grudging respect for his talent quickly turns into intense dislike. It is not that Goode has not been No 1 on the call sheet before, it is just that he did not enjoy it. Advertisement 'It's something I shied away from after the beginning of my career where I was there for a bit and then I had some sort of bad things … things weren't necessarily positive at that point, after that. And I just went, I just want to be, you know, not the lead any more,' he says.

The man who does most of that beating is the hulking Nam Gi-hun, played by broad-shouldered bruiser So Ji-sub ( Doctor Lawyer ). Gi-hun used to be a top lieutenant in the Bongsan Gang, led by Gu Bong-san (Ahn Kil-kang, A Shop for Killers ), which is closely affiliated with the Joowon Gang, led by Lee Joo-woon (Heo Joon-ho, Buried Hearts ).
