(FOUR) INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO
Among Coopers immense educational background he spent time studying at the Actors Studio Dramal School. While here he got to take advantage of his surroundings and see some of the coolest people ever talk to James Lipton. On Inside the Actors Studio episodes with Speilberg, Ron Howard, De Niro, Jack Lemmon, Sean Penn, and Clint Eastwood you can spot Cooper in the audience taking in the Q&A lecture.
(THREE) TV ACTOR
I had no idea Bradley Cooper did any TV work. It’s surprising because I’m an avid TV viewer and I like to think I keep up on things. Still, I’d be lying if I said I had a clue. He got his start on a 1999 episode of Sex and the City and then bounced around on smaller shows for awhile. He had 14 episodes on the show “Jack and Bobby”, he did Law and Order, he did Nip/Tuck, and other stuff. Hell, he was Alias for 46 episodes. Some people just miss your radar.
(TWO) ACTION STAR
There was a lot of action in The Hangover, but he has done his share of action movies as well. He starred in the really underrated A-Team movie, has Limitless coming out, and was a bad ass in the horror movie “Midnight Meat Train”. Seriously, it’s good.
(ONE) FICTIONAL DICKHEAD
Bradley Cooper has that naturally good looking curse thing going for him. With that he has seen himself playing the dickhead/douche a bit in his early career. It’s pretty much the case with Wet Hot American Summer, Wedding Crashers, Failure to Launch, The Rocker, and Yes Man. With The Hangover it opened up a whole new door for the guy.
