I would venture to say that Chris Cooper is one of the most respected actors in and out of Hollywood today. He started his career with John Sayles in the film Matewan and slowly built a career doing more films with Sayles such as City of Hope and Lone Star. Then in the 90s his oeuvre really took off with Me, Myself & Irene and Breast Men then it all culminated in his Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Adaptation in 2002.
Now he is starring in his first John Sayles movie since...
I really do like Chris Cooper. In a society where real quality acting is so much rarer than someone who has one type of character that is just like they are in real life is really depressing. I like the type of actor or actress who can play a wide variety of roles and really come across as a commited actor or actress. Chris Cooper is one of those, along with Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, and Edward Norton. Hey, someone should try and do an interview with Edward Norton and Johnny Depp. That would rock! Looking forward to see silver city when it comes out. Until next time...
