"Just to say, mine was not a prosthetic," the out gay star said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, confirming that the full-frontal scene featured his real self. Koch’s honesty about the scene reflects a bold authenticity in his performance and is a significant moment in his career, especially in a series that has drawn mixed reactions from critics and audiences alike.
Koch expressed empathy towards Erik Menendez's criticism of the series, stating, "[His reaction] definitely affected me and made me feel things. I sympathise with him, I empathise with him. I get it, I understand how difficult it would be to have the worst part of your life televised for millions of people to see. It's so exposing. I understand how he feels and I stand by him."
Koch emphasized the importance of authenticity in his portrayal, saying, "In terms of approaching him and approaching the part, I just wanted to do as much research and dig really deep into myself to portray him with integrity and be as authentic as possible, to support him and his family and all the people who stand with him."
Ryan Murphy responded to Menendez's concerns, suggesting that such reactions should be expected and that the dramatization seeks not just to entertain but to provoke discussion about the events surrounding the infamous case.
