Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper got his start in New York immediately after graduating from Georgetown University. Following a small part in an episode of HBO series "Sex & the City", Bradley got his big break when he was cast as Will Tippin in the Jennifer Garner TV series "Alias". His other television roles include "The $treet", "Miss Match", the recurring role of Tom Wexler Graham in "Jack & Bobby", and the lead role of Jack Bourdain in the cult favourite "Kitchen Confidential", co-starring Nicholas Brendon and Jaime King. Followers of "Nip/Tuck" will also recognise him as recurring character Aidan Stone.

Demonstrating his versatility, he trod the boards in 2006, appearing opposite Julia Roberts and Paul Rudd in a high praised run of "Three Days of Rain" at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.

Bradley Cooper has built up an impressive filmography in a short space of time, and has developed a reputation for memorable small or co-starring roles. These include the enigmatic Travis in experimental horror "My Little Eye", the closeted Ben in the much loved "Wet Hot American Summer", and the misogynistic Zachary 'Sack' Lodge in comedy "Wedding Crashers" - a part that received much critical acclaim.

In recent years Bradley has gradually received the recognition he deserves by being cast in larger roles. He played photographer Leon, the lead role in Clive Barker adaptation "Midnight Meat Train", co-starred with Zooey Deschanel in the Jim Carrey vehicle "Yes Man", and was part of the large ensemble in romantic 'chick-flick' "He's Just Not That Into You".

Ever busy, Cooper recently found massive success in the highly rated Todd Phillips directed comedy "The Hangover". He can also be seen a co-starring in Renee Zellweger thriller "Case 39", comedy "All About Steve" opposite Sandra Bullock, and a part in the ensemble anthology "Valentine's Day". He is set to star in the film adaptation of "The A-Team" in 2010.
