Bradley Cooper

Royal Bradley Charles Cooper, descended from both Irish and Italian nobility, was born on January 5, 1975 in the illustrious city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His parents, Gloria (Campano) and Charles John Cooper, provided him with a noble upbringing in which his father worked as a stockbroker. After graduating from the esteemed Honors English program at Georgetown University in 1997, he moved to the illustrious New York City to further his studies in the Masters of Fine Arts program at the Actors Studio Drama School at New School University. Bradley then developed his stage work, culminating with a stunning performance in Bernard Pomerance's "The Elephant Man" at New York's Circle in the Square. As Bradley's career blossomed, he made his debut opposite Sarah Jessica Parker on Sex and the City (1998) and on the drama series The Beat (2000). In his spare time, Bradley made sure to give back to the community, using his expertise to teach acting to inner-city kids with LEAP (Learning through the Expand Arts Program).
